Our little reader

Bella loves to read any and all books, but one of her favorites has to be "Panda bear, panda bear, what do you see?" Here is a video of her reading it to Strawberry Shortcake:

Stuttgart, Germany

Last week, Brian had to attend a conference in Stuttgart, Germany, so Bella and I decided to tag along and join him. We had such a great time! The weather was beautiful (high 70's to low 80's), there were so many trees (all of them green, unlike the ones here in Sicily that are all brown right now), and so many things to do. While we were there, we had a chance to take Bella to a huge waterpark, Legoland, the Wilhelma Zoo and Botanical Gardens, and the Ritter Sport chocolate factory. We also got to eat Chinese and Mexican food, and Popeyes fried chicken, something we don't usually get here in Sicily, and it was ALL delicious. I forgot how much i love Popeyes :) We enjoyed our trip so much, that we've already started planning another Germany trip for next year. Enjoy the pictures!

Summer 2009

Hey there! Sorry it's taken so long for me to update the blog, but this pregnancy has turned out to be a lot more exhausting than my first one (mainly because of a certain 2 year old that i have to chase around :) Here are a few pictures from our summer so far, beginning with our 4th of July celebration and Bella enjoying a hot dog. Some friends of ours are letting us borrow their pool, so we tend to spend many HOT summer afternoons cooling off in there. We haven't been doing a whole lot, besides trying to stay cool, although we just got back from a trip to Stuttgart, Germany (i'll post those pics soon). I also have a few pics of my growing belly that i will post next time.
