big sister

With all of the attention that Conley has been getting, I thought I would make a post about the big sister. Auburn is such a sweet older sister. She is always bringing him her favorite blanket and her toys. These are her new jammy jams. She walked around for days saying "new jammies like it".


This is Auburn and Daddy at the park on the big swing.





These are my two little munchkins in their double stroller. Auburn is always saying "Auburn sit next to Conley". She loves to hold his hand and help him find his bink when he cries.




This is in the subway station. I guess they were just both exhausted.



We just love our Auburn! She is really growing in so many ways. Her vocabulary is incredible and she has started saying four and five word sentences. She specifically asked for her "pink bow" in the picture below. Yes, that is right she knows her colors (in English and Spanish) She has also named all of her shirts and usually requests what she wants to wear in the morning, and she is only 20 months.

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.

movie of our trip to Mexico

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
