Munich!

One place that Jeff's parents wanted to visit while they were here was Munich. We loved it there and would always take a trip back! We arrived at the train station looking like the Beverly Hillbillies with the amount of stuff we had to take (gotta love traveling with 2 kids). After a 4 hour train ride, we arrived in Munich! We rented a car, got settled in the hotel and headed out to explore. We took the subway into Marienplatz and saw the Glockenspiel then had an AMAZING dinner at a place called Haxnbauer. We had slices of pork, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Best meal in Germany so far!! We walked around the corner and enjoyed a couple of drinks at the Hofbrauhaus! The next day we woke up and drove around to explore! Jeff's dad lived in Munich when we was younger and we were able to drive around the area that was the old Army post where they lived. We spent the rest of the afternoon at the BMW Factory and Museum. Once we took a break at the hotel, we headed out for dinner at a place across from the Hofbrauhaus. I don't remember what exactly it was called, but I remember it had the sign for "Augustiner Brau" on the outside. The meal there was delicious as well. Then, we spent the rest of the night at the Hofbrauhaus. We even got to have snowball fights out in the biergarten. Such a great trip!!

6 Months!

6 months...half a year...not sure how it happened so quickly! Ainsley continues to be such a joy! Happy and content are the best words to describe her. She has adapted so well to our busy life and she just goes along for the ride without a complaint. Brayden adores her. She's close to 20 pounds and long enough to fill out a 12 month sleeper. She has just started to really enjoy eating solid foods and is a big fan of bananas, carrots, apples and sweet potatoes. She has also tried peas and green beans, but didn't love those yet. She's rolling all over the place and pivots well on her belly. She can sit unsupported for about 30 seconds before she topples over. Ainsley has started babbling and she vocalizes back and forth with us. She loves to scream (in a happy way) like she is so impressed with herself that she can make so much noise. :) Just yesterday I was vacumming and I could hear Ainsley sitting in her bumbo seat screaming away and smiling. It was like she had to try to be louder than the vacuum! This month, we had a visit from Jeff's parents. It was so great to have them here and it's pretty clear that Ainsley already has her Papaw wrapped around her little finger. She would just hear his voice and get the biggest smile on her face.
