Day # 23

1. Getting a phone call from one of my besties, Michelle! :)  I lost her during the conversation and when I returned to a German chat-conversation I was having earlier, my friend was so kind to point out, well at least you didn't lose her, like your friendship - which was how it came across as at first when I said I lost her! oops!  And Michelle had some good advice for me  -  which is always greatly appreciated!

2.  Having time after school to sit and read and think in my pink chair.  

3.  Dr. Pepper with dinner...it's been a VERY long time! 

4.  A dinner invitation from a lady from church for tomorrow night

5.  Enjoying the last week of ELL with 2nd grade - after next week they will graduate :)  That means I have an extra 40 minutes every day to get things done! YAH  ... I'm excited!  Today we did our lesson and then looked at books about the weather for the last several minutes...which is great...not having to teach and just let them explore and soak in on their own!  Ahhhhh...

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 t...

Z is loving her new "chair"- no more laying around in the buggy for this little one. {unless of course she's napping} She loves looking around and taking it all in. I love being able to see her better this way and laugh together. Just today I got stopped at the grocery store by a woman that asked me if I knew how adoringly my baby was looking at me.  It was a strange, yet funny and sweet, experience...very un-Austrian.
