the reveal...

So last week, we finally signed the contract and will be starting the whole process

of

building

a

HOUSE! 


We're going to build a duplex with Felix's brother and his wife (plus baby girl).  It will take a year until it will be done and there's LOTS and LOTS of decisions to be made beforehand. 

We are excited and a bit scared/nervous about all that's ahead.  But we are trusting in the Lord to take care of us and provide all we need.  It will be so great to have more room and a yard!  Plus it will be so fun living next to Felix's brother and family.  I'm looking forward to the days ahead with them! 

We're going to meet with an architect hopefully on Thursday.  Then the plans have to be handed in and then we wait.  After that, we have to get more approvals and wait some more....then once the weather gets nice after winter {because getting all those permits and the okays will take that long}, they can start building our house!  Dun, dun, dun!!  

I'll keep you updated on what's going on with the house.  I'm curious to see all that takes place! 

Have a great week!

10 Months

Baby Z is ten months today.  She's moving into toddlerhood and out of babyness...boo hoo....She's starting to have her own little will and get angry when things don't go her way.  She's realized she can make us laugh.  She loves watching little kids and squeals with delight.  Stroller rides are a favorite and also nice for a little snooze at times.  Cheerios are another favorite {she's a great eater, just not a good drinker}.  Sleeping through the night is almost an everyday occurrence {PTL!}!  Her sleeping postions are always quite amusing...you never know how you will find her.  She's incredibly curious and loves getting into things {empty boxes, laundry baskets, bags, etc is highly entertaining}.  If a cellphone or computer are somewhere near her, she doesn't waste any time getting to them.  She has so much energy.  Naps are kept short, often a half hour, if I'm lucky an hour.  I'm so thankful for this sweet, little, energy bundle.  I look forwa

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
