Our team of ladies that helped us put on a Parenting Seminar
I had the opportunity to go to Morlupo and be with this wonderful group of ladies
Registration desk at the parenting seminar

We were able to be a part of a "tour" in Rome called the reformation tour. It allows you to see some not so popular places on the "typical" Rome tour

We had a great turnout for the Parenting Seminar! There were so many questions and we had to finally stop at 10pm!
At our friends' house and their little girl insisted that Hudson and I hold specific babies for her.
The team that came from the states took us out to eat! YUM!
We babysat one day and had a picnic on our floor because, well, why not :)
