Egypt

So, Egypt.... it was a blast!!! What a crazy place with a bunch of crazy people. There is so much history!! The sites were awesome. Auburn was huge hit!!! Everyone loved her. People would stop and take pictures of her. Seriously, one lady stopped her car to get out to have her picture taken with Auburn. I wasn't expecting that. We have a ton a pictures, so I tried to just pull out of few....although there are a ton on here.

There are mosques everywhere.

My head and my arms had to be covered inside the mosques.

Our guide to the tomb of Ay in the Valley of the Kings. We were the only ones in the tomb, it was pretty sweet!

King Tut's tomb

Simon and Ryan hiked from the Valley of the Kings to the Temple of Hatshepsut. Auby and I took a cab because there was some climbing involved.

Auburn at the Step Pyramid. It is the first pyramid built.


The Red Pyramid. The entrance is not quite halfway up. We all got to go inside, except Auburn. It was amazing to go inside and see how they they built these amazing buildings.

The camel market just outside of Cairo. There were SO many camels.


Egypt vs. Ghana.
There were four soccers games total for the trip. At one of the games we were surrounded by a bunch of children. They kept coming up to us and asking the only questions they knew in English, like "What is your name?" and "How are you?"

It's a ......

We found out last past week that we are expecting .... a baby boy! We are super excited! I had a feeling ever since we found out that I was pregnant that would be having a boy. Auburn came to the ultrasound with us and repeatedly said "baby" while we looked at the screen. We are excited for her to have a little brother. We just need to start thinking of baby boy names ....

Auburn's blessing

On Sunday, November 23rd, Simon was able to bless our precious little Auburn. Grandpa and Grandma Hill were able to be here for the blessing. I know that Papi and Grandma Little wished they could of been here as well. We had an earlier visit from the Littles when Auby was just a few weeks old. Grandma Hill made her beautiful dress and Grandma Perkins made her blanket. This weekend we had our first snowfall. The temperature was frigid and there was still snow on the ground. It still turned out to be a wonderful day. Auburn was her perfect little self. She didn't cry at all and her Daddy gave her a beautiful blessing. We are so blessed to have her in our lives!
