Amsterdam

Simon had a crazy couple of weeks. He had planned a weekend trip to Amsterdam months ago to catch a few soccer games. It was suppose to be calm weekend full of soccer, but turned hectic really quick when he had two business trips added to it. He flew to Venice on Wednesday, returned Friday morning and went straight to work. He came home for an hour and half to see us and change luggage and then headed to the airport for Amsterdam. On Sunday he was suppose to fly home, but had to go to Boston for a week instead. We are glad that he is home.

Here are a some highlights from his trip to Amsterdam. The whole point of this trip to was catch two soccer games from the Dutch Eredivisie. Although it was a little crazy, Simon had a great time.

PSV Eindhoven
They lost 0-1 to ADO Den Haag.







Ajax Amsterdam
They won 2-0 against De Graafschap.

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.
