long time no read

Sorry for kinda disappearing off the face of blogworld.  November was a fun picture month, but it also left me a bit weary of blogging.  December has been so busy with Christmas parties and school events.  Tomorrow is our last day of school and I couldn't be more happy! 

Felix and I will be flying to Germany tomorrow evening and spend Christmas with my family.  He'll be returning on the 28th (one of us has to be the bread winner) and I'll stay until January 5th.  Sadly, we won't be together to celebrate the New Year, but I will get to see my brother and his family who are coming on the 31st from California...so I have mixed feelings about it all.

Right around Thanksgiving, I got this super sweet letter from one of my students.  I asked her if her teacher helped her with it and she said no.  I love how I am the queen in the middle with a crown on my head!  She even put everybody in their correct seat in my classroom!  

I hope each of you has a very Merry Christmas remembering the true meaning of Christmas.  I've been reminded again this year how great the gift of Christ is and how much He had to give up for you and me.  His love for us is so overwhelming!  Take time to reflect on that this season!

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
