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!

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
