The Russell's visit

Laura, Glenn and Jimmy Russell came to visit over Easter. It was so gret to see our dear friends here in Florence and show them a bit of our Italian life. We took the kids on Easter morning down to the Duomo where we stood outside and watched the procession of the cart and than the exlosion of it.

Brendan..our artist.

Brendan has become so creative while living in Italy. We are really amazed at some of the things he has created. One day he took the camera and went into the garden and came back with these shots of Spring.

Skiing in Abetone

We met an Italian family here in Firenze that invited us up to the local mountains to ski. Mark took the boys and they had the best time. Camillo and Flaminia showed them special slopes and the weather was fantastic. The boys are becoming quite the skiers.
