For my birthday weekend we spent the weekend at Camp Darby, near the city of Pisa. We stayed in a family cabin at the campground on post. It was a little tight with seven of us, but we had a great time. We visited the cities of Lucca, Pisa, and Florence (just a drive through on our way home). We also got to spend one morning in the IKEA in Pisa. So fun.

Time to Get Away!








October 4-5, 2014

While Grandma Pamela was in town, Dustin and I got away for a couple of days. We stayed in a beautiful little "agriturismo" in Ponte Nelle Alpi, near Belluno called the Cornolade. We had a lovely couple of days enjoying the peace and quiet of our hotel, hiking nearby, and being together.

Nick & Megan!!

Nick and Megan came to see us!! They were on their European summer tour and stopped in to see us for a couple of days. We loved having them. Dustin and Pamela spent one evening in Venice with them and had a wonderful time!

Henry's First Court of Honor and September Pack Meeting











September 30, 2014

Henry's first Court of Honor was a success. He received the 4 merit badges he has earned this first year in Scouting. After the Court of Honor we had to race across the street to Jeff's year opening Pack Meeting. In just a few months, Jeff will be crossing over into the Scout troop. I am so excited for the boys to be working on the same things, on the same night, at the same events!!

Happy Birthday, Kelsey Anne!!

As you can plainly see in the photos, Kelsey had a very happy birthday!! She requested fruit smoothies for a treat instead of cake. We asked her several times if she was sure, and she was! She loved all her gifts and had a super fun day! It is soooooo fun to be 5!

Jenna enjoyed a perfectly lovely baptism day! We are so proud of the young lady Jenna is, and of her choice to be baptized. She is such a reliable and responsible girl!! We are so excited for what the future holds for her!
