Skiing in the Alps

Kirby and I went on an awesome day trip to the Alps this weekend. This was my first time ever skiing. It was a lot of fun and I only fell down a few times. Most of the time I cautiously slid down the mountain. The place we went to was called Madonna di Campiglio, and it was BEAUTIFUL. The sun was shining and it was an all around great day.

Romp and Stomp Video

Oliver and I go to a play group every Wednesday. The first time we went the people from AFN (Armed Forces Network) were there with video cameras doing a report on the play group. Sure enough a few weeks later the news spot comes on and there we are on TV. We are about a 1:15 into it. Enjoy!

Roma

Our friends Jhoda and Jill recently got married, and although we couldn't make the wedding, they honeymooned in Italy and we were able to meet up with them. We hopped on the train to Rome. Its a pretty long trip especially if you take the slow train, which we did. The baby was really good the whole way, he even took a little nap. Children are pretty rare commodities here in Italy, so it seemed to really make people happy to see a smiley happy baby boy in person. We got to Rome and had dinner with Jhoda and Jill, then spent the rest of the evening hanging out in the hotel catching up on old times. The next day we were going to go with them to the Vatican, but really couldn't make it work so we ended up just saying goodbye and taking the train back home (it was Sunday and Kirby had to work the next day) This time we got the fast train. They ended up actually seeing the Pope, pretty cool. Oliver had woken up that morning really warm, and slept the whole way home. We took his temperature and he had a little fever. His first one ever. The next few days we just kept him hydrated and he slept a lot, but bounced back pretty quickly. We are planning on taking another trip to Rome in the coming days, since we really didn't get to see much of it on this trip

Oliver's 1st Birthday

Oliver had a great first Birthday! We had a little party with 5 other kids. It was a lot of fun and Oliver got a bunch of great presents. He liked his cake but was a little wary of it at first.



Clockwise: Logan, Eva, and Kaitlyn. The two boys that came were on the other side of the table.









I'm so proud of these cakes that I made. Food coloring is awesome!
