Playing in our apartment complex

Playing outside in our apartment complex... with Emily sporting her new hairbows from the Thomasson family! That small hill is the view we have out our living room and bedroom windows.
These little boys and their family always invite Emily over to play at their house. :)

Language fun

We are not following the instructions on this sign, and we are all actually having a very nice time here these days. This is our last week of freedom before language classes start next week.

Here are more fun signs and labels from around this great country. We're just enjoying the laughs, not knocking them... their use of our language is still WAY better than our use of theirs!
We recently had to register our residence at the local police station. They were very friendly and helpful. They even post educational signs.
Next week, Aubrey is due to receive her 2 month old immunizations. Some friends recommended we just take her to the neighborhood shot clinic. But signs like this make you think twice about that suggestion...

All in all though, we are glad some signs are in English. And sometimes they are simply good pieces of advice, like this one above. You can never be too careful, right?

Smiles from Aubrey

Aubrey is becoming more interactive now, and will even smile at us when we walk into the room and start talking to her.

She sleeps so much at night I end up waking her up. Backwards, huh? But a good problem to have!! We are so thankful for this little big blessing!

Emily has friends/neighbors over to play at our house. They are older than her and can show her interesting things about her own toys!

Aubrey cracks a smile for Daddy behind the camera. She's doing great these days. She sleeps anywhere from 6-9 hours at night! PTL! Emily really enjoys having a baby around. She closely monitors where Aubrey is, and who is allowed near her. If we let Aubrey fuss on her own, Emily will also come ask us to "check Aubrey?". She pats her tummy softly and shows lots of love for her!

Hugging daddy and falling asleep. It's the good life.

Our time with Nana ran out! She was with us for two months... but went back to the US a few days ago. Here is one of her last meals with Aubrey (who had Nana around her whole life!) We are looking forward to more visits!

The girls playing together on mama and daddy's bed

This is from a few weeks ago... Aubrey already looks bigger!
