The McCauleys

Last week Kati had a week off of school and we took advantage of the time as a family.  We were able to enjoy some sights outside of Vienna which we hardly get time to do.  I think it is always good to continue to learn as much as we can about Austria in order [...]

One of the many neat things about living in Vienna is all the museums it has.  Even cooler is that starting this year kids get to go free to a few of the more well known museums. Last Saturday we decided to take advantage of this cool deal and go to the Zoom kids museum.  [...]

Last Friday I felt like we were part of prime time sitcom.  So many things happened it was almost too funny to be true. For starters early in the morning Elena woke up crying for no apparent reason and had to be held a bit before she went back to sleep (Being a deep sleeper [...]

I wanted to do a better job of informing those who are keeping up with our visa saga before I get another call from my sister! Again for those readers who like the bottom line up front:  We applied for a “first time” visa this morning and as far as we can tell we most [...]

It has been a few days and I have been negligent to update on this very important matter.  This was brought to my attention when my sister called for the scoop on Monday’s meeting. For those who like the bottom line up front here it is.  On Monday January 4th 2010 Christy and I will [...]

We haven’t had a lot of snow this year and on Thursday we finally got enough to make a snowman and go sledding! We were able to capture Kati sledding down a hill in our neighborhood.  We took this on a digital camera and apparently it does not record any sound so it looks almost [...]

Yes, I am on facebook. Christy introduced it to me and I fought it for the longest time not wanting to waste my time.  And yes, it can be a waste of time.  I know some people who spend hours and hours on it texting, uploading so many photos, playing games etc…  I thought it [...]

This week Kati’s kindergarten had a visitor, Nikolaus. Ttraditionally children here would put out a boot between Dec. 5th and Dec. 6th and St. Nikolaus would put small change to the ones who were well behaved.  Kati had fun and I am not sure if she thinks he is real or not.  We have talked [...]

Soren Anders McCauley was born on October 28th. Weighing in at 7 lbs & 2 oz and was 20 inches. We are rejoycing with my brother Andrew and his wife Kristi with their first child! It is kinda fun to see the little cap he is wearing because it was the same one that the [...]
