another month

---I am afraid it's happened again---
---somehow blogging has taken a backseat in my life---
---for this I apologize---
---maybe a New Year's resolution should be to blog more---
---anyways, here is what Baby Z has been up to---
We have had five wonderful months together!  Hard to believe it's already been that long! 
 It is truly amazing how much she has learned and is able to do.  
Her smiles and laughs brighten our days!  I love being greeted in the morning with a huge smile and her little baby talk.  Being a mommy is truly wonderful {and a bit tiring}. 
I have also been doing a bit of baking these days.  I decided to try to just bake bread from now on and not buy it...we'll see if this turns out to be cheaper or not.  I think it should.  Here is the link for the yummy bread I've been making {http://simplysogood.blogspot.co.at/2010/03/crusty-bread.html}
We had friends over for dessert the other night and this was on the menu:
so delicious
If you want to try a new yummy and simple recipe here ya go:
Jam Oat Bar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp sal
1 1/2 c oats
1 c firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 c butter (I think I used more, just see how crumbly the dough is)
3/4 c jam (I used strawberry, the recipe calls for raspberry and I also ended up using more)
Mix flour, baking powder and salt together. Stir in oats and sugar. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is coarse and crumbly. Press 2/3 of mixture into an ungreased dish (9x13). Spread jam on top. Sprinkle with remaining oat mixture. Bake at 180C for 30-35 minutes.

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...

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.
