July

I really don't know where July has gone. Summer seems to be quickly slipping away and my kids are growing way too fast. Even though times seems to be flying our summer has been very calm. I do have the itch for another trip. Simon has been in Italy a few times this summer for work. He is actually there right now. The kids and I are enjoying our trips to the park and the nice weather.
Simon has taught Auburn about different bands. She will now put in her requests for music. Some of the bands/ artists she knows, but not limited to, are Rascal Flatts, Metallica, Chicago, Bon Jovi, Peter Cetera, Keane, Robbie Williams, Rob Thomas, Blackhawk, Van Halen and what seems to be her favorite Def Leppard. It is pretty funny to hear an almost two year old asking for Def Leppard.

Conley is growing and growing some more. He is already in 6-9 month clothes and can wear some 9-12 month stuff. He is sleeping through the night (9pm-6am)!!!!! I am really excited about that. He is a very happy and content little boy.
Here are just a few pictures from the month...




Hope you are all enjoying your summer as well!

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.
