it's worth these smiles

it's hard to describe the roller coaster of feelings we go through every day. us grown ups just like the kids. luckily the kids can live them and get them out. unfortunately not that easy for grown ups all the time but I am lucky enough to have Christian at my side now to make this a bit easier.

Vienna does make it easy for us to "forget" the situation we're in and enjoy different things and of course there is worse to be in...

today the girls had their last day at Vienna International School - maybe - we still don't know when we can go back to Cairo. we do think that it's time for us to go back although we know that there is still lots of "buts", BUT it's hard to except that when I know most of my friends will be back that weekend and also school will start on Sunday... anyway, we have to be patient, BUT can anyone explain to the girls please!

as usual Clara cried when we picked her up today because she didn't want to go home and Mia was excited to present us her work - a book she illustrated and wrote this week (pictures to follow).

but Vienna does not only give us grown ups the chance to "forget" there is also plenty of things for the girls...playgrounds, friends, bakeries and all the things I don't think of now... and all these things can put these wonderful smiles on the girls faces
