We have been in Italy since April.  We have gotten settled and had a chance to explore a little of the area.  We are staying busy as we await the new baby.  Dave and I spent the summer both involved in Bible Studies one night a week, and we also kept up with our family days out.

Our family days/nights out have taken us out to eat several times, to the  movies, on walks, to the beach, pool and Pompeii-and more.

This fall, we shift our focus to kids activities as Kate is in ballet, all kids are in AWANA (a kids' Bible Club where they learn Bible verses and earn badges), and we have homeschool group get togethers.

Our new kitty, Ulysses.  We found him in June at 5 weeks old, alone, scared and hungry.  He is doing awesome now!  He's about 3 months old already!
