starting the pictures! day one of our journey..... the food at Schipol airport and our teenie tiny elevator to our room in Milan!

We are back!!

We are back from our worldwind tour of Italy and Amsterdam/ Haarlem!! This picture is the first of 1732 photos I took! Yikes! Plus I need to merge in reubens as well so easy to say that we have around 2000 photos of Italy, Amsterdam, and Haarlem. Over the course of the summer I will show you what we saw! wow.


Oh wait---I lied. this is actually the first picture! This was in the Houston airport by our gate. Imagine- buying an ipod from a vending machine!!!

Flying out Monday- Tuesday and Wed night in Milan, THurs in Verona, Friday in Venice, Saturday we hit Bologna, Sudnay in Florence, Monday we go through Pisa to genoa and then Tuesday We stay in Turin.

birdie likes a sandwhich

We tried something new today.... just letting her hang out in the living room with G. both
girls loved it! (lol we are assuming she's a girl.) Jake (or Fuzzy depending on the day) definitley likes eating bread, and enjoyed a chunk of G's sandwhich.

our newest family member....

We were in the pool and she basically flew right up to Reubenin the middle of the pool and stood on his finger and drank water out of the pool! lol I ran to PetSmart and picked up a cage and goodies . So , now we have a b ird to go with the rest of the menagerie!

a picture I took of G.

Nonni brought a surprise

It's huge! Nicolas says it's not his surprise because he can't get on it! lol You have to physically pull yourself up onto the step part of the slide. Well, Nico doesn't have the upper arm strength to do that! I had to push him up onto it....Needless to say my upper arm strength will increase as well this summer!

summer is here!!!

Summer is here and as you can see it's going to be busy! Italy is in a week and a half!!! these are many of the TAYSHA titles from this current ye ar. I am going to be busily reading this summer to keep up with all the new titles. Not to mention my personal titles I'd like to read as well.....
