A Day with Luisi

Sunday afternoon, Felix and I watched our friends' 3-year-old daughter, Luisi, for a few hours. Her mom is pregnant and not feeling well and her dad had a meeting, so we got to hang out with her! :) We had a blast, as you can see in our pictures!

When she first came, she was fascinated by the Danube River. It was so cute - she crawled right under our drying rack ('cuse the laundry please!) and enjoyed the view!

We took her to a playground in our neighborhood, fed the swans, and strolled around for a bit.



Then we had to make do of our non-childproof apartment for some time.


When her daddy came to pick her up, she had to show him the view, too! :)
Before they left, Luisi says: "Do you  have anything for me, like a Kinderhegenschirm (a children umbrella said with an H instead of an R)?"  We got a good laugh out of that! ;)

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...
