Achtundfünfzig or Fifty-eight

     I cannot tell you how thankful I have been for our May Day Holiday.  It has been wonderful having an extra day off.  All day long, I kept thinking it was Saturday and then the glorious realization would hit me that it is only Friday and I have two more days until school starts up again!  3-day weekends truly are some of my favorites!  
     Today I was able to sleep in and have a slower paced morning ... always something I enjoy!  I went to the Zoo with four other teachers here.  It was my first time in the Vienna Zoo (one of the oldest zoos in the world!).  I love seeing all the beautiful animals God has created.  Several animals were very active and just fun to watch!  The sun graced us with her presence for most of our time there and at the very end we had to pull out our umbrellas (thankfully, they were packed for the day!).  It was great coming home and being able to relax and enjoy some time off.  I listened to a really good sermon and am going to head to bed early tonight - shocker, I know!!  :)  I think all that sun did me in!!
     Just a brief recap on my GST for the day: 
- a day off!!
- going to the zoo and being outside in the sun!
- watching the Lemurs and Gibbon climb around - I could do this for hours!
- having some time all alone in my appartment tonight
- not waking up to an alarm this a.m.

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 t...

6. chair

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.
