The Hill Family

Sienna Corinne was born at 8:02 am at the Rotkreuzklinikum in Munich.   She weighed 3.7 kilos and was 52 cm long.  She is incredibly sweet and a very peaceful baby.  Auburn and Conley are in love with her. She has been smothered with kisses by them and everyone in the family wants to snuggle with her.   

This summer is going to be a big one for us... new baby and move back to the US.  We are looking forward to the arrival of our baby girl.  My stomach gets lots of loves and kisses from Auburn and Conley.  They have a plan on how to help me when she comes.  Auburn has offered to fold all of her clothes and help change diapers.  Conley is going to get me new diapers and throw away the dirty ones.  They both want to bring her toys and make sure she has her binkie.  I think it is very sweet how excited they are and hope their excitement will continue when she is here.  I have been trying to get things done slowly for our move.  I have sorted through every closet and drawer and have gotten rid of a lot of things already.  I have mixed feelings about leaving.  Some days I cannot wait to go.  Those are probably the days that I have to walk to the grocery store in the pouring rain for the fourth time in a week.  Other days I t...

A few weeks ago during church, Simon nonchalantly leans over and tells me "Oh, by the way, we are taking a long weekend to Schliersee.  We are leaving Wednesday and coming home Sunday morning".  He knew for weeks, and I was totally surprised.  I love when my husband surprises me.   Schliersee is normally where we spend Christmas, but we missed it this year due to our long Miami trip.  We are really lucky that Simon's company has such great accommodations there.  The first two days we had incredible weather.  We took the boat out on the lake and did some hiking.  The third day, Simon had to go back to Munich for work.  It rained the entire day he was gone.  The kids and I spent a lot of time in the playroom and I convinced them to take naps that day as well.  The last night we suffered from some food poisoning.  I am still not sure how or what was the culprit, but it was brutal....

Conley had his third birthday a few weeks ago.  I took the kids to the dinosaur museum and their favorite park in Munich during the day.  We had birthday celebrations when Daddy got home from work.  The other celebrations came later.  We went swimming, out for ice cream and watched Cars 2.    He was so excited we couldn't really get him to look at the camera.  He requested a chocolate cake.  Simon told me that I was lazy this year with his cake.  Probably, but I am very pregnant and we are moving soon.  It is okay, he loved it, especially since he got a new bulldozer. I am pretty sure that Auburn was just as excited about Conley's birthday as he was.  We had a countdown going for sometime. Lightening McQueen and Cars are a big deal right now.   Three year old stats: Height: 39 inches (88th percentile) Weight: 37.5 pounds (90th percentile) I think it is safe to say that he will be a football pla...
