Frankfurt

The Frankfurt temple
It was so uplifting, refreshing, and peaceful

This is the "old town" of Frankfurt. It isn't very big, just a couple squares of charming buildings.


This is the old city hall. The main cathedral also had this red finish on it.



This is the last day of games for the Bundesliga. Frankfurt lost 3-2 to Hamburg.


Comments

So, a few months back I lost my blog list, and apparently I didn't add yours back on...I just thought you guys hadn't updated in a loooong time! I had so much fun reading over your last couple months of posts! Auburn is SO big and she is just beautiful! I can't believe she is almost 9 months old! Doesn't the time absolutely fly by?! It looks like you guys are having a blast and staying happy and healthy! Craig, Porter and I are making a big move out to Denver in a few weeks, since he has been out of a job for almost 7 months now. Time to move on, and time for some big changes! I am resistant, but then I think about how you guys moved across the world and are making it work, so I can do it too! Happy to have found you again :) xo

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.

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...

Simon made a video of our trip to Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Since I haven't gotten around to posting about the rest of our trip (that happened a year ago), I am just going to post the link to the movie on youtube.  Hope you enjoy!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLnUgh7HfbM
