So This Is Happening…

Processed with VSCOcam with c1 preset

Coming October 2015.

We are thrilled and terrified and overjoyed.

And yes, there’s only one in there. HA! We saw him/her (her, we are sure haha!) today and the heart was strong and well…my cup runneth over.

I’ve been exhausted and just not myself. So I’ll probably be missing from here for a week or so more (if past experiences are any indication!).

Time for that basketball team!

    Thanks for sharing your beautiful writing and photos with us all. Our family just got back to the US after spending 6 weeks in Geneva while my husband was working there (nonmilitary). We were in Venice the weekend before you!–I agree Carnivale was amazing (even though I *thought* I had planned our trip to avoid it because I too hate crowds!! it was indeed ridiculously crowded but I’m glad I got to see it after all.)
