We Made It!!

Addison, Sidney and I made it safely to Chicago where we were met by my Mom and Dad. We were a bit delayed (5 HOURS) coming out of Rome. But it is to be expected since we flew Alitalia. I am so happy that I never again need to fly that airline. They weren't striking or anything...just being slow so all the schedules were messed up. It was a very long and painful process getting on the plane...but after that all went well.

Addison proved again to be a great little traveler. Since she has appointed herself to be the greeting committee she makes a lot of friends. Sidney, although a bit stressed is very happy. He spent the day sleeping and is now back to his old self. We all have a bit of jet lag and are still adjusting (the reason this post is coming at 5 am) but we are so happy to be in MN. We can't wait for Bill to get here!

One thing I did forget...how cold it is!! That is certainly a shock to the system. But if it means I am HOME I will figure it out. That is what heated car seats and electric start are for right??

Lotsa Love from Minnesota!!

On the Move Again.....

Hello everyone! It just doesn't slow down for us. We had a great vist to Greece with my Mom and Aunt and now we are packing out. The movers hit the ground running this morning around 8:30 (very early for Italian time). They were a great bunch of guys who of course loved Addison. That is one thing I will miss so much about Italy...Italians LOVE kids!!! Most of our house is packed and some if it is moved to the crates. It is crazy that it is actually happening. Addison and I travel on Friday! We fly from Rome to make it easier for Sidney. Traveling with a dog is such a huge pain!! We spent the better part of yesterday getting Sidney...the dog....a passport. I am not so sure that our house, after Sidney, will contain a four legged creature!

We are excited about what lies ahead but of course are sad to leave our friends that we have become so close to here. Home for the Holidays is having a very different meaning this year! We will actually be able to celebrate Christmas...on Christmas Day!!!

This will probalby be my last blog until I am once again back on American soil....I am so excited. So we ask that all of your thoughts and prayers come our way as we begin our adventure to our new place. An 11 hour flight with a 1 year old will certainly be a challenge but Addison is a great little traveler so I am hoping for the best!

Lotsa Love from Bella Napoli!

Tre Amici

We finally found a time to arrange a photo shoot for the Tre Amici! The kiddos are in real pasta. Addison didn't like the way it felt on her feet but she was okay sitting in it eventually. It is one of our many fun memories of Italy. It is great to have a family in Italy as well as back home!! It is crazy that Addison, Sidney and I will be in the country for only 10 more days! We are all very excited about our new adventures in Omaha!

26.2 Runner!!!

Jenni is officially a Marathoner! Pat, Sue, Addy, and Bill cheered Jenni on as she battled hills, heat, the metric system and a malfunctioning iPod to complete 26.2 miles (which is apparently 42.195 km) from the shores of Marathon, Greece to the Olympic Stadium of Athens. We are incredibly proud of our athelete! Way to go Jenni!

Time: 5:21:19

Happy Halloween!!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Halloween! We went to the Halloween Spooktacular that was at Carney Park (one of the bases). There were lots of people therefore Addison had a great time. She was the cutest Lady Bug there! The pictures aren't great because the Lady Bug didn't want to sit still long enough to take a picture! She is certainly on the move...which is going to make for a difficult trans-atlantic flight here in a few weeks.

Race day is close!!! I am getting a little freaked out but think with all this moving junk filling my head I am going to need that 26.2 miles to sort it all out. We hope that you had a wonderful Halloween and enjoy the photos!!
