We pause the Italy pictures to announce...

Trevor has started walking!! He took his first steps around 9mns, but just a couple days ago he really started talking off. Yay! I'll post a video as soon as I can.

Beach time!! Pisa beach with Grandparents.

First days in Tuscany, Italy...

We went over to see Michael's parents and we took the kids to a park, and we also had Conner sample his first Gelato, which was the beginning of his love affair.

Quality time with Nonno.

Ice-cream shop we stopped at.

Pictures from Italy...finally!

For the few readers to our blog, here, at last, are some of the pix from Italy. It's taken me some time to get them up as the jetlag hit the kids kind of bad on the way home so there really hasn't been time.

Anyway, to start at the beginning, we just spent 3 weeks in beautiful Italy -- visiting Tuscany (including Pisa, Florence and other gorgeous cities and countryside) and then we traveled North near Milan to visit other friends and family.

So here's the start of the pictures, I'll do my best to post them as quickly as possible.

Oh well, blogger messed up the layout for me, but here are some pictures from our airport time...since that was a significant part of our trip. We had booked an overnight flight from San Fran to Paris and then a stopover with a short flight to Milan, Italy. However, the flight ended up taking off an hr late and a half late, so we ended up missing our connecting flight to Italy and waiting another 7 hrs for the next flight. So we had lots of airport time...

Pic 3: Trevor at the France airport.

Pic 2: Conner loved the moving sidewalks, this is in the SFO airport.

Pic #1: Happy family watching the airplanes while waiting for our plane to take off.

Pic:4 The boys waiting and watching some more at the France airport while Daddy scoured for food and internet so we could have a place to spend the night since the 7hr delay made us lose our accommodations.

To be continued...

We are in Italy!!

...for the next few days, been having too much fun with family and friends to be able to post, but we'll be back soon. :)

Happy birthday Elena!

We love you and miss you here! We can't thank you enough for being part of our lives for Conner's first year. We couldn't of made it without you and we wouldn't of wanted to have missed out on having you in our lives, your friendship, kind and fun nature, wonderful personality and so much more have enriched our lives.

We prayed for you to have a wonderful day and year ahead -- your best, most fantastic and blessed one. Can't wait to see you and hope you enjoyed in a memorable way today!

Conner feeding Trevor

Conner's gotten into feeding Trevor and Trevor thinks it's just the greatest thing. It doesn't always turn out, but Conner usually does a good job of it and they have so much fun with it. It's just too cute. Here's a couple little clips I took today of the process. I took this first one and then tried to "guide" Conner threw it on the second one, but I think he actually did a better job without me. :)
