King Tut...

King Tut......They crack us up! The guy in the picture with Sydney seriously asked how many camels we wanted for her...every time we saw him - which was often!

Out and About in Egypt

The kids had a ball playing beach volleyball. After watching the Olympics this summer, they have a new interest in the sport! We had so much fun swimming. By the end of every day, we all crashed!

Luxor and the Valley of the Kings

First Day of School - 2008

Cameron and Sydney started back to school on August 25. This is the first year in 4 years that the kids haven't changed schools....and NO, Cameron is not shorter than Sydney (he's just on a step below her). They are attending a Department of Defense school (DoDDs) school since we luckily live near an American Military base.

Caleb, on the other hand, started yesterday, September 15 back at his Italian Elementare in second grade. The great thing with his school is that his teachers follow them from 1st grade every year until 5th. He's also with the same kids every year. He has wonderful teachers who take him under their wing and shower him with kisses every morning - who wouldn't love that ?!?

Random last-day Photos with Tom and Nancy

 

Well, these are just pictures of our last day with Tom and Nancy. It was wonderful having them here! ....and of course, we had to end it all with GELATO!

Venice.....AGAIN

 
 
 
 

I know, I know, you're probably getting sick and tired of seeing Venice pictures. If you come and visit, you'll probably not even want to visit Venice. This is my 8th time of visiting Venice, and actually I love it! We try and do something a little different each time we go. This time we didn't even get there until the afternoon and then we stayed until about 9:00pm after the majority of all the tourists leave. It was beautiful and even romantic....well, as romantic as it can be with 3 kids.

The Hills are Alive.....AHHH Switzerland!

We got to spend a long weekend in Bern and Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. Our friend Cindy Adams went through the temple for her first time and we were able to go with her! We took beautiful side trips through the Alps. We drove through Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen. We took a gorgeous train ride to Wengen and then a tram up to Mannlichen. We then hiked for an hour and a half through the most breathtaking scenery to Kleine Scheidegg and then took a train back to Lauterbrunnen. All I can say is WOW! The pictures don't do it justice!
