Thirteen Weeks
13 Weeks 2 Days Pregnant

So it's been three weeks since our last update, but we have an excuse. Elena, Pumpkin and I were in Italy for a little R&R for the past two weeks and I did not have a chance to update the site prior to our departure. Elena and I had never been to Italy before and as Murphy's Law would have it, we found ourselves in Rome during the Historic passing of Pope John Paul II. In any event, Pumpkin loved eating Gelato and Pizza and seeing the historic sites and beautiful countryside. Mother and child fared well throughout the trip but Daddy got sick a week into it and had to rest a full day in the Hotel in Florence to recover. Our 14 day trip included visits to Milan, Lugano Switzerland, Como, Verona, Venice, Padua, Pisa, Florence, Naples, Sorrento, Capri, Pompeii, and Rome. We took twelve hundred pictures and over four and a half hours of video while we were there. There was just so much to see and we did not want to forget a thing. Venice was our favorite city. How can you not like a city that has no cars or roads?
