Big news

It's time to announce that Felix and I will be joined by a third party sometime late July.  I am 13 weeks pregnant and we are very excited about this little baby!!  This first trimester has been quite rough - thus the lack of blogging.  I haven't felt up for writing or taking pictures, nor have I had much to write about besides being tired, feeling very nauseous, and taking frequent uncomfortable trips to the bathroom.  I'm hoping this week or the next will take a turn for the better.  Felix has been taken such great care of me.  I couldn't ask for a better husband!  I am truly blessed!!

We had our 3rd doctor visit today.  The baby was soo active - kicking and moving the little arms and legs!!  It was so precious to see.  This is all such a miracle!!  We'll have to wait a bit longer to find out what we are having, so either the purple boots will be perfect or they'll have to wait for another baby to come along.  I'm quite curious to see if this is the 6th granddaughter on my side of the family or the first grandson.  We just pray for a healthy and strong baby.

I'll try my very best to keep updates going on here on how the baby bump develops.  And hopefully, my blogging will become a bit more consistent, once I'm not spending quite so much time on the couch and losing my meals.

So there you have it!  I can't wait to see what these next months hold for us and to meet this little one!!  It's such an exciting time of life.

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

a little check in on life over here

-- We had our "big reveal" on facebook. It looks like we'll be having another little girl! We're thrilled for a little sister for Zoey, plus the bonus of recycling all our baby girl clothes is awesome! But most importantly, baby is healthy and all is looking well!-- -- The weather here has been so great. We've been meeting lots of friends at playgrounds and parks and going for walks. It's fun to be able to play on the playground with Zoey now that she can walk and do things! But also very tiring for this pregnant mama! --  -- We've been doing lots of house things ... looking at doors, fences, different types of floors, kitchen appliances, etc. Next WEEK , they will start the digging part of building the house and then the following week , the basement will be built!! YAY, things are finally getting started!! So curious to see how all this is going to go. We stopped some new neighbors and introduced ourselves and let them now things wi

Done w/ orientations!!

On Thursday, the last day of orientations was completed! All the new staff has had a busy last 3 weeks, but they were very informative (sometimes overload on information though). It feels great to be done with orientations and to be starting school. School starts on Monday and things at the school have been crazy trying to get things ready to go. There is a rather large construction project taking place at the school and we have been working on that since the construction workers are behind schedule ... we've been tearing off paint, repainting, cleaning, etc. My classes will not start until Thursday, since elementary has half days until then. I'm so thankful for the extra time to get things done and be prepared for my classes. I'm a bit unsure as of what to do in classes ... so I'm hoping I'll come across some great ideas! Prayers for this are greatly appreciated!
