Today was the last full day of being with Laura, Julienne and Andrew...it's been sad thinking about the goodbyes, but I am so thankful for this time that we have had together. Today's GST include this video - having Julienne share her Cheerios with me! Another GST is spending lots of time with Laura and Leanna and just laughing together (Laura and I pushing and shoving for the front seat of Leanna's car - I won ;) lol). I think I've finally finished all the paperwork needed to fix a dumb mistake I made with the IRS and getting the help from various people - a big GST right there! Two more to top of to my normal five would be walking with Julienne through the grass and Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream with my sisters (esp. standing in line, we must have looked and sounded ridiculous (in our English-German mishmash) trying to decide what to order- it only took us FOREVER! lol).

Great times had with sisters today! I dread tomorrow and having to say goodbye to Laura, Andrew and Julienne.....

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 t...
