I'M BACK!

After a series of events from personal reasons, internet issues, time issues, more internet issues, holidays, and such, I am really excited to write here again and I have a million things to say!

I hope you had a great holiday break as I have.  Ice skating on the frozen arms of the Danube river here in our town tops the list of magical moments for me!  My husband has been like a kid, playing hockey with some other families here, taking our kids out on their own ice skates, and pulling our 1 year old behind him on the sled. 

Erik even joined in on the hockey game after learning super fast for his first time iceskating. 

For a Texas gal who hasn't stepped foot on a frozen river in her life, I still am amazed at life here in Austria, even after 9 years of being here!  For the past few years, it has either been too warm or I was too pregnant to go iceskating!

(By the time I thought of taking pictures, it snowed a little and the ice had to be cleared for the hockey game!)

I have been wondering what to start blogging about with so many ideas buiding up in my head...and today after viewing a video online, I knew it had to be about that.  So without more off-topic discussions of winter in Austria, I will show you that video!
