Life is busy. The two littles keep me on my toes and exhausted. But life is good! I have so much to be thankful for and so much to enjoy.

Since, I can't seem to find much time to blog these days and have missed the last few weeks of Monday Gratitudes, I thought I'd switch things up a bit and do one of these again. I haven't done one of these in ages!

~ enjoying
...blue skies and sunny days

~ looking forward to
...spring, of course, who isn't, right?

~ reading
...books with Z. She loves book and I love that so much!

~ thankful for
...health, even though we were sick a LOT this winter, I'm thankful that we are just sick with normal illnesses and nothing serious!

~ loving
...my handheld vacuum cleaner that has that great extension so you don't even have to pull out the big vacuum cleaner for quick and easy cleaning.

~ eating
...sweets. I can't stop munching on things some days. 

~ excited about
...summer and a big wedding taking place in our family! This will be the first time our family has all been together in FIVE YEARS!

~ googling
...baby food recipes

~ considering
...that it may be time to cut my hair. Someone little is constantly yanking on it!

~ cooking
...baby food

~ listening
...to Z as she talks more and more and copies what she hears, it is soo funny and cute!

 ~ loving
...watching A and Z play, laugh, snuggle and enjoy each other.

~ planning
...trying to be better at planning my meals and using what we have onhand. I love trying to get everything you need at the grocery just once a week, instead of several trips throughout the week.


~ watching
...Covert Affairs!!

~ wearing
...sadly, still wearing lots of scarves, hats and big coats. I wouldn't mind packing them up and putting less layers on the girls!

~ wishing
...I had some time to go to the mall, shop and just enjoy some me time! One day, I'll be able to do that again.

~ hoping
...A's sleep schedule gets a bit more regular. Teething has thrown things off a bit. I'm also hopeful that some teeth will pop through soon and not cause so much discomfort!

~ thankful
...for technology that allows me to keep up with my family that is spread out all over the world.

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

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
