Dinner Guests and Becoming Legal

Today was a busy day, but a very good day. We slept in a little which was nice and then went out to run some errands. We were on a mission to find some folding chairs since we were having a family for dinner. We did find some and we also found a kids table for the children to sit at.
We had told Broderick that some kids were coming this evening, but weren't sure how much he really understood. When he saw them pull up and get out of their car he ran to Brad and I and yelled, "BOYS!!!" I think he was pretty excited. The above picture is Jeppe (3) and the below picture is Lukas (5)
This is the family that we had mentioned before that had lived in our area for about a year. The two boys had New England Patriot Football Jerseys on. They had to show their American side. Broderick had a blast. We weren't sure how he would do since these kids speak Danish, but it didn't seem to phase him too bad. There were definite times that Broderick would be asking something or vice verse and the other wouldn't understand, but they just move on. Broderick and Jeppe just ran around yelling for awhile, I guess that's a universal language.
This is Brad with Heine Bach. If you can believe it, he's taller than Brad. I guess we are in the land of the Scandinavians. Brad no longer seems all that tall. They got the job of watching the kids play after dinner. The picture below is Tina and me. She is so sweet and I thank God that he provided her as a friend for me here.
We had a great time with them and will probably see them tomorrow as we're planning on joining them for their church service. They are a great Christian couple and have given us good advice on what churches in the area are good and we would enjoy.

Great news, we got the letters in the mail confirming that Broderick and I can legally be in Denmark. That means our visas have been approved, so we need to go to the Kommune and get our visas and our cards to be here. The cards are very important, its comparable to a social security # in the states. So you need it to sign up for about everything and its what gives you free medical care - very important with all the doctor visits coming up. One minor problem, Broderick Jon is legally Jon Broderick Schmidgall over here. They switched his names around while processing him. I hope its not a major deal to have them switch it back as this won't match his passport and could cause some problems.

Brad also has some great news or at least he thinks so. He was able to get a live radio feed to the Iowa Hawkeye game. He was quite excited, of course he wasn't so excited with the results today, but there's always next time.
