Halloween in Italy

    Happy late Halloween! This was our first here in Italy, and we learned that Italians don't celebrate like Americans. Very few pass out candy and dress up like we do back home. Although, I have heard it is becoming more popular in some areas where Americans live. Of course we wanted to dress up, so this year we chose to be gondoliers... we DO live in Italy, so we though it would be the perfect costume!

Family Pics 2014

   Every fall we take family pictures because: 1) I love the weather and changing colors. 2) We need pictures for our Christmas cards. Picking a location was easy.  Every time I drive into town, I pass a bright red door that is built into a tall brick wall/fence. It's on the side of an old historic house, but we aren't really sure where the door leads to because it isn't a part of the house. Anyways, once you see it you will see why I love it! My friend Kelsey took our pics on Friday and did a fabulous job {Thanks girl!}. It wasn't easy with a hyper dog and a toddler that wants to run around. I hope you all enjoy them!

 

Just Another Day In Venezia

     On Saturday, we went to Venice {the second time I went this week}. We are so grateful that we live less than an hour from a place where people travel thousands of miles to vacation! We needed to buy Aaron a hat for Halloween and we wanted to walk around the canals just for fun. Our good friends Matt and Kelsey went with us too, so we had a great time! 

I love this little boy more then he will ever know!

Vienna, Austria: Day 3

     We finally had a sunny day on our last morning in Austria {10/12}. Connor and I enjoyed playing on the terrace while Aaron made us a yummy breakfast.

 Goodbye beautiful view.

Connor: Eighteen Month Appointment

   Connor had his 18 month checkup today and he is perfect in every way! Since I was by myself for most of the appointment, I wasn't able to take pictures like I usually do. Here he is playing in the waiting room before his check-up:
