You don't realize...

...how great it is to have a voice until you can't use it for several days on end!

Funny how that works. We aren't thankful for things, until we experience what life is like without it! It was weird this week not being able to speak and trying to spare my voice. Whenever I would run to the store or anywhere where people are, I was always a bit scared that they would talk to me and I wouldn't be able to answer back! Thankfully, my voice is much better!! It's been a long healing process though!

Today, I really felt like I had all my energy back. I was able to do the normal Leslie craziness of getting lots done on a Saturday :) I even road my bike downtown! :) It was a beautiful, sunny day. My face has that sun-kissed feeling...we'll see if it's pink tomorrow!

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.
