look what we found

In the square, close right by our apartment, they were showing off the trophy for the UEFA Champions League.  For those of you who don't follow soccer, the Champions League is a tournament of the best soccer clubs in Europe, very prestigious.  The final is being played in Munich next week.  It was totally random for them to be showing it, but we walked over and snapped a few shots.


Conley is wearing his Manchester United uniform.  He got it on his birthday and loves it.  He is currently going through phrase where he wants to wear "soccer players".  Luckily my sister-in-law has given us some hand-me-downs from her boys.


Auburn wanted to wear a jersey as well, so we borrowed one from Conley.


Speaking of Champions League, our team Bayern Munich is going to be playing in the final here at home.  This is the first time that one of the finalist has had home field advantage.  Simon had the unique opportunity to attend the the last match of the semi finals.  He was already in Madrid for a business trip and was able to somehow get tickets.  It was one of the most phenomenal matches that either of us has ever seen.  It was against Real Madrid.  It was tied in aggregate goals at the end of regulation time, went to over time, and then on to penalty kicks.  I watched it here in Munich.  Simon was the only Bayern fan in his section and had stay quiet until at the very end when game when he couldn't contain himself any longer.  We will not be going to the final there were over a million requests for tickets, we didn't even try.

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
