Day 2: Churches

We saw some pretty incredible churches today. Some by choice…others just walking around. My favorite was the San Giovanni in Laterno Church. Breathtaking. It’s the church used before St Peters by the Popes. So as you can imagine, it’s over the top beautiful. That was quickly followed by one of the earliest known churches in …

Day 2

Capitoline Building: on our way back to the hotel, ran into this little gem. Next thing that you know, we are at the top of the building with amazing views. We stayed there for awhile just taking it all in.

1st Day in Rome

Today we landed in Rome. Almost a surreal experience. Drove right pass the Coliseum on way to hotel. We dropped off our bags and headed out to beat jet lag. First up, Piazza Navonna for lunch. Pizza please? Why, yes. Nothing like a traditional pie in Italy We then headed over to the Pantheon, how …

Week in Rewind: May 22

First off, we had a wonderful Mother’s Day.  Great weather. Pool for the kids (isn’t it amazing that kids don’t fret the cold). An incredible dinner. And the sound of family all around.  Not much more you could ask for…but if we’re asking, shouldn’t Mother’s Day extend for the week?  I mean, the work that …

Week in Rewind: May 12

It’s Mothers Day Weekend, which got me to thinking that I am truly blessed to have the little guy in my life.  Crazy how fast time goes because it seems like yesterday that we brought him home. And I was terrified, excited and crazy out of mind with sleep deprivation (a wicked time zone change …

Week in Rewind: May 3

What’s faster than fast. Quicker than quick. More nimble than a gazelle…ok, not quiet, but Daddy sure has some quicks. Last weekend, Mama and Daddy completed our first sprint tri of the season. And Daddy placed 3rd in his age group.  Pretty darn good for an old man, lol. Meanwhile, Mama finished as the 3rd …

Week on Rewind: April 25

It really is amazing to watch the learning growth of a child.  Some of it is funny: such as a word that is a tiny winy bit off.   Mama, I pacifically want that one.   kankahoos like to jump. Sometimes he gets these deeply focused eyes as he tries to figure it out.  Which …
