HOUSE!

After a week of, seemingly, no options...we have found a home! This is an answer to prayer! This is a wonderful place with some great owners who really are supportive and trying to make this place comfortable for us.

Unbelievable, really. We saw this house on Tuesday morning, and by Wednesday at 7pm we were sitting with the owner finalizing the agreement after 3 hours of identifying improvements and working on details.

The home has 3 rooms, big living room/kitchen, a huge entry way (which could double as a sitting room), small basement, and has a pleasant front yard that is fully enclosed and protected. The home has very thick concrete walls so the house is quite cool on hot days and will stay warm during cold days.

Kitchen (along the wall on the right - where the dark tile is). Room on left will be laundry room/sink area of bathroom. We are extending the wall so that it will more fully close off that area.

Forgot to take pictures of our room and the basement (two different locations - to clarify). Will still be a week or so before we can move in, but we are excited that this question has been answered...and in such an amazing manner.

Who are these kids at ICSV...

Hi everyone... The first week and a half of school has been absolutely amazing! We have had some great opportunities to begin building lasting relationships with the students that God has brought to Vienna to be educated at the International Christian School of Vienna. Rebecca has been adjusting well to her role as secondary secretary. She is learning quickly the many demands of her new role and is doing quite well in supporting us teachers and the rest of the staff. Rebecca hard at work I have been really enjoying my classes. I have a total of 43 students spread out over 4 periods. The students I have represent 14 different home nations, with many of the students who are "Austrian" are first generation, so they are of other nationalities as well.  I have also had the opportunity to begin working with the soccer team...again, many nationalities are represented on the field, truly an international squad. Here are some pictures of the team training at the local club...

and baby makes four...

that's right...our little family will soon become a foursome. We have found out that Rebecca is 6 weeks pregnant! There is definitely "something in the water" as all the families that live within our block have recently had a baby or are currently pregnant. Our baby will be the 6th baby born to ICSV staff in a span of less than a year (first one was born in early November and we will be welcoming our new addition in September). So, kind of unexpected, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless!

The day that changed our lives...

Today (Nov 10) is Justin's birthday. Obviously, the birthday of your child holds a special meaning. Over the course of the last three days, I have been reminded of how exciting a birthday truly is. His excitement reminds me of the excitement we felt in anticipation of his birth, and, I think the excitement that God feels as his children enter into relationship with HIM. Justin seems to think that we will forget that today is his birthday. I base this on the simple fact that he has reminded us no less than 5 times/day since Sunday. I'm not sure exactly why, he hasn't quite been this excited about his birthday in the past; maybe it has something to do with this being the first birthday in Austria...I'm just not sure. But the joy that he carries (and expects from everyone around him) in anticipation of this day is a bit infectious. As many of you are aware, Justin was born in the middle of our senior year in high school. We were so emotionally unprepared (being so youn...
