not much new here

There have been some complaints about a lack of blogging... I'm not going to mention any names ... ahem, but you know who you are ... ;)  So I'll just give you a rundown about what's been going on here these days (I don't feel like I have much to report):
...buying - final things needed for baby and me
...considering - what labor, birth, our baby girl and life with her will be like!
...cooking - not much, eating lots of salads - pasta salad, green salads ... oh I did make hamburger buns yesterday!  So yummy!
...eating - for two!  I'm loving grapes and banana chips these days!
...learning - to be patient and trust in the Lord for all to go well over the next few weeks
...listening - to my youtube playlists (either worship or the chill one).  I need to put together some music for d-day!
...loving - my wonderful husband!
...planning - to take this week slow, rest lots and enjoy having this quiet time
...reading - baby books of every kind
...watching - a show called 'Til Death
...wearing - comfy clothes
...wishing - I could visit my sisters
...thankful - for a nursery that is waiting for a little person!
...hoping - this week will stay cool again! 
Week before last we had a guest staying with us.  Felix's dad invited all of us to go up DonauTurm and eat dinner.  We got to watch a beautiful sunset as we were eating dinner.  See the high round building in the picture on the right?  We live right beside it.  Vienna is such a beautiful city ... man I love living here!!

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...

the little things

My day is filled with doing little things... wiping noses changing diapers fixing hair brushing teeth doing dishes straightening up books and toys that land everywhere tying shoelaces doing load upon load of laundry folding said laundry putting on hats making sandwiches  putting littles down for a nap and on  and on and on. Sometimes I get tired of the mundane. I get tired of life right now being so .... regular ... every day seems so the same. I was talking to my sister the other day about it and I said, I wouldn't want to change it, but yet sometimes the mundane gets to me. I get restless. I feel like the hamster running round and round the wheel and it's always the same. {just different friends and playdates} Today over breakfast while feeding the baby, I listened to a podcast {ahem, part of one }. And this really got to me: Love well in the little things. With great love .  Which is part of a very big thing - raising a fam...

Day 18

I've been doing the 30 day praise challenge, that my friend introduced on her blog . It has been really good focusing on all the different reasons we should praise the Lord. Today, day 18, couldn't have come at a better time (well, it would have worked for several other days, but today especially). The verse to start off the devotion is: Do not judge,  and you will not be judged.  Do not condemn,  and you will not be condemend.   Forgive,  and you will be forgiven.    Luke 6:37  Great verse for today, as I got smooshed into an elevator with Zoey. Seriously, the lady behind me couldn't have been any closer to me. I had to learn to get just a tiny bit of distance from her. Talk about uncomfortable. I get pretty frustrated with how rude people are, since my mobility is a bit limited due to bringing a small one along with me everywhere. I've had some close calls of getting on/off trains or trams, simply because no one wants...
