February


Winter came late this year.  We had a pretty mild winter until the beginning of February and then the temperature dropped to highs in the teens.  It was pretty miserable.  I was so happy when the temperature finally reached thirty degrees.  We also didn't get a lot of snow that stuck until this month.  The kids have loved being able to go sledding and playing in the snow.  We have built a few snowman and made lots of snow angels and snow cakes.

                                     




Today is Fashing Deinstag (or Fat Tuesday in the US).  Simon actually gets this day off of work.  We spent the morning at the Natural History museum here in Munich.  It is modest, but the kids loved it.  Conley kept saying "more more" and Auburn wanted to know what everything was.  They have also loved having Daddy home on a Tuesday.  Apparently there are lots of carnival celebrations downtown, but we decided that taking naps this afternoon was a better choice.

These kids are going to be SO well-rounded! You ARE reading to them nightly from the US Constitution, aren't you?

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

Ich bin schwanger

Translation: I am pregnant! We are so excited to be parents again. I have been blessed to feel pretty good through the first trimester. The offical due date for our little one is May 12th. It is the day before our 4th anniversary. We don't really think that Auburn understands what is going on. When we say baby, she gets her baby doll. Although she does point to the ultrasound pictures and says baby, which I think is super sweet!

Mexico - Mayan ruins II

Simon's parents had to get back to their mission in Mexico City and we continued on our trip.  We saw a lot of ruins, 9 in total.  This is the next post of Mayan ruins.  It was actually great for the kids as well.  They could run around, climb and explore. It was interesting to see the differences at each sight.  The kids had their favorites by the end of the trip.  We also taught them a little bit about Mayan culture. Edzna   These well preserved carvings were great.       Palanque These were probably my favorite ruins.  It is set in the jungle and it felt very peaceful there. It is hard to believe that only 10 percent of the structures are actually uncovered.  The rest are still covered by the jungle. some well preserved carvings waterfalls in the middle of the ruins The Palace   Temple of Inscription   The kids had a great time climbing up and exploring...
