Taiwan

When we returned home from Egypt, Simon had to travel to Taipei for work. These are a few of the pictures that he took. It was a work trip, but he was able to see a few things while he was there.









Apparently it is the year of the Ox. Simon said that they had decorated oxen everywhere.





We were watching this show on food network where this guy would travel around the world trying different cuisines. We just happen to watch the one that was filmed in Taiwan. They have this stuff called stinky tofu. This guy on the show would eat anything, I mean anything, but he could only take a few bites of this tofu. Well Simon found some at this night market and said that it is the nastiest thing he has ever smelled. Just the smell made his stomach hurt the rest of the night.







Taipei 101
The tallest building in the world.


Yeah for Daddy coming home!!!

You guys are so lucky to get to travel so much. I saw that show on the Taipei 101. Did you go inside? What an amazing structure.

Prague

So this week Simon's parents were in town visiting, and we decided to take a little weekend trip. The night before we left we decided on Prague. None of us had ever been there, we didn't have to drive over the Alps, and it was relatively close only about 3 and half hours away. Before we left we had to make sure that the rental car could drive to the Czech Republic, because apparently not all rental cars can, they have to be a certain type. I still don't know why. To make our adventure even crazier, the bag with Simon and my stuff in it somehow didn't make into the car. We did not make this discovery until we were at our hotel. Luckily, Auby's stuff made it and we had our coats and gloves. We did however, miss our thermals it was very cold. I'm sorry that there aren't more pictures of Auburn. She was bundled up in her stroller. Prague is a really neat city and has a lot to explore. Here are some of pictures..... St. Nicholas Church, where Mozart once played t...

reading

Auburn has been asking me to teach her to read.  So, I decided to try and just see what would happen.  She just barely turned four and I didn't want to push her, but she was excited so we started.  I am also not a fan of German Kindergarten (preschool here) and I know that she needed some extra stimulation.  Thank heavens for the internet and a knowledgeable sister-in-law.  We have been doing word family crafts, a sight word caterpillar and working on phonics.  There are so many wonderful resources out there to make learning to read fun.  She is really reading now and loves it.  She picks up books and reads the words she knows and asks us for the ones she doesn't know.  She is sounding words out and totally amazes me.  Right now she will read to anyone that will sit down with her.  reading to Uncle Seth and Conley  This is a common scene at our house, and makes me so happy.
