September - beginnings

Ummm, someone got caught redhanded. He thought for sure we still had food on the table.
The girl and I went out to eat Chinese with Jessica. We had so much fun.
lovely weather day
yep, just a typical day in Rome...you can spot a tourist anywhere ;)
haha, I zoomed in on a picture of Shadow, and it has brought us so much laughter
Sweet, Catarina. She fell SOUND asleep during the craft time in Sunday school. I thought she would wake up as we were cleaning up, but no. She was sound asleep though being picked up, stacking chairs, and moving tables.

He's been sitting and staring at us like this when he wants something now. He's so cute.
Well, I bought a birthday present for Regan and they wrapped it up like this and sealed it for me to take it home. It was a handmade Italian leather journal with her initial embossed on it (she goes it to this stoer every chance she gets and always wants something)
more tourists ;) It actually looks a little fun though
youth group
Jonathan and I went on a date to try out this new Chinese restaurant by the house. It was really good (a little spicy for some dishes, but good...different from the other places around) oh, and that's a bottle of water on the table ;)
I took this screenshot since it was only a story and not up very long...this was Hudson's Sunday school class. They all "graduated" and go to church every week now. (Before they had certain Sundays that they were not in the service for the sermon so that the Sunday school teacher could go over what the sermon was going to be and discuss it with the youth and help them understand it better)
Before braces
hanging out on my bed

We had 3 baptisms, the first ones in our little church (others have believed and been baptized elsewhere)

First day of school pics with Mom...Hudson - first year of high school!
12th, 11th, and 9th grades....this is crazy!


Katherine - a senior!
Lauren - a junior!


Look at these cuties
Last Sunday beofre we split this group into two groups! 
Lauren decided to go for the bubble waffle and Nutella for a snack.
