We are back in Rome and getting settled into life as a family of five. First on Hudson list? Rearrange his room into his dream room...beds moved together, piano moved in, colored lights turned on
WE arrived back just in time for our annual 4th of July beach celebration with our friends.
It was a good time
Ruthie, Lauren, Silas, Katherine, and Hudson
On a walk through the park and all of the wild bunnies were out. They are quite big and not really too afraid of people
At a going away celebration for Cynthia
Cynthian is moving to Germany
His favorite way to ride in the car
And we are off!
Beautiful views from the hotel room
Always enjoy seeing a new European city
WE finally got to meet baby Ryan! He was born just before we left for the states.
He's so big already!
A little bubble tea mother/daughter time
"Helping" our friends with their move
The girls always find many ways to entertain them
Saw them out on the street another day and teh girls got BIG hugs
They really were moving so we helped with the kids.
Fort Building is a must when you are a kid
We also enjoyed spoiling them a bit...rides/games at the mall
a "free zoo" AKA a pet supply store with fish
Everyone meet Claribell, the stuffed animal that Ruthie fell in love with and Aunt Kelly just HAD to buy ;)
And I couldn't not buy something for Silas, too. The girls were with me and laughing. They said, "at least we know what you will be like when you have grandkids one day." Haha, they are probably not far off.
How do you entertain yourself when it's 105 outside? You do henna on your hands and feet.
And play lots of Monopoly!
Getting some water on our evening walk to the Colosseum. It was a cool 96...we can handle that!
Still hard to believe that we can walk this in 20-25 minutes
I started walking on Wednesday mornings with my friend, Rachel.
Oh, and the 4th of July group shot! Not sure how it ended up at the end, but here it is.
