...toasty...

 






This week was our first week back to school and the hottest week that Austria has had in a long time!  It got kinda miserable at school, but it was fun seeing the kids and meeting the new students.

It's supposed to get cooler next week - at least 10 degrees celsius.  I cannot wait!  It's been pretty rough in high 90's weather with no air conditioning ... we've done a bit of swimming, avoided using the kitchen, eaten salads and smoothies!  I'm extremely thankful for our fan! 

Any tips for us on staying cool??  Hope everyone has a cool weekend and a safe one, not affected by the hurricane!

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
