Italy

In lieu of Christmas for a couple years, we decided ( like we did several years ago) to take a girls trip, and it was SO worth it.  Italy was the destination, and it was a memory making trip for sure.  Cookie has no shame and decided she needed to change into shorts....immediately.

 

 

I love pizza.  I just do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

People posed so weirdly, we had to mimic any chance we could get

  As much fun as it was, it was good to come home to two tiny monkeys and one big one. :)

Today

I have great intentions of blogging at some point about our summer, but for now...since it's been for e ver and you've probably stopped checking and have forgotten what we look like...here's a reminder.

Summer Part 2

Even in the winter, our boys rarely have clothes on. Summer, they are completely unnecessary.

Caden is a very serious boy.

Caden has loved the guitar from the time he could hold one. We love to be serenaded by him.

Adam and I were also able to go to Haiti with the Hillsboro Church in Nashville. My parents and our good friends Luke and Katie were able to go also, and, as always, I'm pretty sure we were the recipients of the blessings.

This is at the Cap Haitian Children's Home, and we're with our good buddy Mackendy.

Slappy and Cookie were very stylish. All the time.

The whole group

This was the site for our first dental clinic. Very high-tech chairs we had.

My dad's brother, Uncle Sandy, came and was a WONDERFUL help for Adam and the people

Several sewing machines were donated to the CHCH and the kids got lessons and even sold some things while we were there. They're so smart and talented.
