Back home...

Yesterday was quite a day of traveling. We woke up at about 5am, drove 4hrs south back to the Rome airport. Then, we had a 9 hr flight to Newark NJ followed by a mad dash through customs and trying to get to our next terminal for the 5hr flight to Seattle.
Ava did great throughout it all. A few melt downs, but that's probably normal for anyone, doing that much in one day. She has been asking about Gma, Gpa, Mike, Leo and of course Tee-Di. She's in a great mood today, running around grabbing toys, clothes out of her drawers, pointing at her dog Asia, and doing a fair share of eating. I uploaded the last of the most recent pictures to the Toscana album, on our picassa site.

This was the sunrise while we were loading up for the long drive.
Cappucino at the rest-stop.The Italian highway system has regular stops along the autostrada, about ever 20 miles. There is a restaurant, shopping (everything from wine, olive oil, salami and toys) and a gas station. What a country.

Trip to the Zoo

Today was Ava's first visit to the Zoo. She loved it! A lot of arm waiving and leg kicking. Not a ton of smiles, because she was probably overwhelmed. We could tell she really enjoyed it though, we can only imagine what goes through the mind of a ten month old baby when a 2000 lb walrus swims by 10 inches from her face. Click here for pics.

http://www.ava-bella.com/2008/03/out-door.html and today we are celebrating and remembering the precious moments when we became a family, forever! Two years have flown by, but the feelings of contentment and amazement just grow stronger and stronger. We are off to Seabrook for the weekend to play in the sand and and reminisce. We are truly, truly blessed! Not much has changed in the packing department :-)
