a new week

 
24 weeks. Thankfully the hip pain has left! YAY! I continue to have this bleh feeling. It's just not going away. I feel Baby moving lots and it's so wonderful. Zoey comes over almost daily and kisses my bump and strokes it and says baby. I can't wait for her to actually meet her little sister! It's going to be such a sweet meeting! 

 
 Zoey is 20 months old now. Hard to believe she's so close to two!! She's saying more and more words, making lots of animal sounds and starting to figure out different things she can do with her body - dance moves, spinning and spinning and spinning, a tiny little hop off the ground (or not even OFF the ground!). She's such a funny little girl. I'm so thankful for our little sunshine. Out of the blue, she's started to get clingy and need me more often than earlier. It's odd to have her snuggle up to me because people she doesn't see often are around. Makes me wonder what happened to our little outgoing girl ... I hope it's just a phase.

This past week as you know they started with the digging part of our house. Here's what we got to see on Saturday. This week they will start on the foundation and basement. We need to dry weather for it to dry quickly...here's hoping for lots of sunshine over the next few weeks. It's amazing to see what all is happening on the property. The lucky neighbors get to really see each step along the way. Kinda jealous.

Felix, his dad and brother built this little "hut" for the water meter. It took longer than expected, but I guess that's often the case with projects right. It's just impressive to me that they know what to do! Them building this saved us quite a bit of money, so that's great!!


Happy start to a new week everyone! Can't wait to see what it brings!

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!
