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.

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!
