Summer 2008, Italy--A PEACH PICKIN' WE GO

Our neighbor has peach and nectarine trees and always tells us to go back there and collect some--if we don't he will bring a bucket over himself--so sweet.
We decided for FHE to go picking. I love the nature that surround my home here and was really struck by it as I walked the path along the grapevines, past the newly plowed field, to the fruit trees.
I am really going to miss this view from my back windows when we move back!
And, of course, the peaches were delicious!!

summer 2008, Italy--HOURS IN THE POOL

This summer the boys have spent so much time in the pool out back. David and I definitley agree that this is one of the best purchases ever made!!!

It is hot and humid here, so the pool was the best outside time!

Gabe hung out at the edge most of the time, but Eli and Adam were constantly diving under, jumping in, balancing on floats, and pretending to be ship-wrecked sailors trying to avoid sharks. So fun!!

summer 2008. Italy--AIRSHOW AT DAVID'S WORK

We all like to go and see Daddy's world.

The boys love the airplanes and this is one of the events that inspired Eli to creat his own fleet of jets this summer (on paper).

It is important to wear earplugs! Isaac looks so hip in his!

Summer 2008, Italy --SKYPARK

David and Eli started off the summer heading to a fun place called Skypark. They had such a great time, and definitely put all their muscles to work. There are different levels of difficulty and they did them all--we are all impressed, though not overly suprized, that Eli was able to do even the black level (he let me know that it would be way to hard and scarey for me, his mother).

Cutest baby award!

I have wanted to post so many things, but...

I decided on a quick, adorable look at our Isaac. He is really growing!

He is such a yummy, cute baby, but I threw the picture of his little fit on the chair just to let you all know that he is quite normal!

He is 8 months old tomorrow!

Wow!
