Saturdays


This is the usual conversation between Simon and Auburn on Saturdays. They speak in Spanish, but I translated it for you.

FYI: Bundesliga is the German soccer league and Van Nistelrooy is Simon's favorite soccer player

Simon: Auburn, what is today?
Auburn: Saturday
S: What do we get to watch today?
A: Bundesliga highlights
S: Would you like to?
A: Yes!
S: What do we see?
A: Golasos (I think it translates to awesome goals or something like that)
S: Who is going to score?
A: Van Nistelrooy and Bayern Munich

Then before bedtime they watch Bundesliga highlights together and Auburn cheers for the goals. Cute! Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!

Your kids are too cute.
Do you guys remember the camel you gave to Emily? It is currently the "cool" toy and goes everywhere with her. She calls it "Humps" and explains that it came from Germany...meaning Simon and you.

I'm sure Simon couldn't be any more pleased - his daughter talking soccer, in Spanish no less. Love it.

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.
