Last week in second grade, we were talking about the word huge.  One of my students was like: "Oh yea, like you know, Apple Top...it is huge!"  Would you have any idea what Apple Top is??  Well, neither did I...so I double checked and asked what he talking about.  His response was the same.  Later on, during tutoring he asked his sister what Apple Top wasin English.  He asked in Korean and just said Apple Top w/ a Korean accent.  It was soo funny!  Finally, his sister was like oh yea and then they asked if they could draw it for me - this was the result:
(Who would have thought?!  Eiffel Tower = Apple Top!  WOW!)
Later on, I said thank you in Korean and he and his said said that I had good sound when speaking Korean!  This made me feel quite proud of my 5 months in Korea! 

After a long day of school, this is how Petra (the German teacher) and I feel!  FYI, we were waiting on our kids and took a super brief power nap while standing!

10 Months

Baby Z is ten months today.  She's moving into toddlerhood and out of babyness...boo hoo....She's starting to have her own little will and get angry when things don't go her way.  She's realized she can make us laugh.  She loves watching little kids and squeals with delight.  Stroller rides are a favorite and also nice for a little snooze at times.  Cheerios are another favorite {she's a great eater, just not a good drinker}.  Sleeping through the night is almost an everyday occurrence {PTL!}!  Her sleeping postions are always quite amusing...you never know how you will find her.  She's incredibly curious and loves getting into things {empty boxes, laundry baskets, bags, etc is highly entertaining}.  If a cellphone or computer are somewhere near her, she doesn't waste any time getting to them.  She has so much energy.  Naps are kept short, often a half hour, if I'm lucky an hour.  I'm so thankful for this sweet, little, energy bundle.  I look forwa

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how they didn't
