Long time...

oh wow, it's been a while...

I haven't had the chance to be online for longer these last weeks, so sorry for the delay again!

So let me try to sum up what I have been doing lately.

Work is going really good. I still love my job and I am getting to know the kids a lot better which is so great. I am starting a kids-talk or however you want to call it. It will be a time where they can come and talk to me about their problems at school or at home. I am very thankful that I have the opportunity for that.

On monday I babysat for Tobi and Luci, friends of mine that have a little girl (Talita)

It was our first time alone together, but worked really well. After mom was gone we had a lot of fun and cute moments. :-)

Yesterday was a long day for me. I worked a little later and then had to hurry to be on time to babysit my three boys. It was a sunny day though and so we were able to go outside so they could play in the sandbox. At one point they were digging in the dirt for worms so they could attract birds and then catch them. It was the funniest thing to watch and they were convinced it would work. hihi

Afterwards I went to real with friends from Bible College, which by the way started last week.

And I finally got to buy new bread to make myself some breakfast for school, I ran out at the beginning of the week and didn't have the time to buy any until then.

Then I went to my friend Daniels house where we watched two movies. One of them was german called "Abgefahren" which I actually liked, and after that we watched Ice Age, which I hadn't seen in a long time. I got home way to late and so was tired all morning today. 

But hey, the weekend is finally here and I can sleep in tomorrow!!! Yay!

Ok, this is it for now, but I hope that it won't be as long before I write again!

Nighttime fun!

Just one thing to say...

GOD IS AMAZING!

first week

So, it's been a week since I last wrote. It's been a good week. I love love love my new job!

I've mostly been working with the 1st graders since wednesday and let me tell you, they have a lot of energy!! :-) Haha, they are so funny though. The first few days were challenging, because they still need to get used to everything and are very loud and chaotic. But they slowly getting into it and it is a lot of fun to help them learn and be there for them. 

well, but I still have a life after school, and I have been doing a bunch there too.

One thing that I have been enjoying for a longer time now is the pool. I love to go there and just spend hours swimming or just relaxing. I try to go a couple of times in the week.

Sunday we had a good bye party for my friend Ines. She will be going to the states for the next 3 months. We had a lot of fun and entertained the whole restaurant at one point..haha oh the fun you can have WITHOUT alcohol! haha

Clouds 

The clouds have been amazing these last few weeks. I took a bunch of pictures of all kinds of them. Different colors, sizes, shapes... and the color of the sky are just breathtaking a lot of times and even almost made me cry at one point. God is amazing!!!

a quick "Hello!"

hey,
I don't have much time to update right now, but I wanted to let you know that I started working this week. I love it!
I am at a primary school and have a lot of new things to look forward too.
I will be helping with mostly the 4th and 1st grade, but have some insight to the other classes too.
I worked with the 4th graders for two days now and it's a lot of fun and I think I will llearn a lot also.
Tomorrow I will have my first tutoring-class which I am really looking forward too and I will also do some adventure-education elements in PE-class.

The first graders just came in today so I will start working with them some time later this week. I will also get to go into the 2nd grad tomorrow to observe one of the kids there closer, which has some learning disabilities.

It is great to get a routine back into my day again, I just have to get used to getting up early in the morning. :-)

kids

I love those kids!!!

denmark is beautiful !

So, I just came back from the retreat in denmark. It was great! The people we got to meet were so sweet and I had a lot of fun. The kids were great too. We were kinda worried at first because we didn't know how many of them would speak english and we also had no idea about their ages.

We had about 15 kids from the ages of 2 up to 13. I took care of the 3 two year olds. And Katha and Sabine watched the others. I had a lot of fun with the little ones. We did all kids of fun things and had a great time! We got a lot of positive feedback from the parents and it was great to be able to keep the kids busy for them so they could enjoy the sessions.

Denmark is super beautiful. I could have taken thousands of pictures. The light there is amazing and they have white fields everywhere that make the scenery look great!

We had good weather most of the time, it only rained two nights, but it was nice again the next morning.

Our drive back was very long. We got stuck in traffic a bunch of times which was so annoying, and it took us 12 hours to get home. We had a lot of fun though and I got to meet up with a friend that I hadn't seen for 5 years. It was so good to see her again and catch up.

Here are some pics for you to enjoy:
