Florence, Italy
The first weekend in July, while my parents were visiting, we took a little trip to Florence for Lucy’s first Italian adventure! We didn’t have much of a plan for the weekend other than visiting Antinori nel Chianti Classico, a winery in Bargino, just south of the city. The Antinori family has been making wine…

Meet Lucy
Our sweet Lucy Leigh arrived on Wednesday, June 9th at 7:34am and we have been soaking up every minute with her since. She was born at the local Italian hospital in Vicenza and her and I stayed for four days in a shared room with two other moms and their babies. Michael was able to…

Hello, June!
I can’t believe it’s already June. We have been counting down the months, weeks, and days until we meet Baby Shares since October, and now we are only a week away! Most of you likely already know, but the past two weeks have been quite a rollercoaster for us. Michael was in a serious accident…

Mike’s Bike: Guest Post
Hannah commented in her last post that I ought to make a guest post about my bike tours, so here I am. If you’ve known me for 10 minutes, you probably know I like to be active. If you’ve known me for an hour, there is a 95% probability I’ve described my workout plans or…

Countdown to Baby Shares
I can’t believe how quickly this time has gone by! In just 40 days (more or less) we will be welcoming Baby into our family. We were hoping Nancy would be able to come at the end of May to do maternity photos for us, but with the uncertainty surrounding when travel will open and…

Our region is still in the “orange zone”, so things are pretty restricted, but luckily the weather has been perfect almost every day, making it ideal for getting lost in the streets downtown. We spent…

Our Home Away From Home
Welcome to our Italian apartment! We have been unpacked for quite a while now, but as you’ll see in the photos, we have no storage, so finding a place for everything was a bit challenging. It took a while to get it organized enough for me to want to share photos, but we finally feel…

Sunday Update
We officially have a place to live! As I sit here on this beautiful Sunday morning listening to the church bells with the windows open (seriously, pinch me!), I figured it would be a good time for an update. We have been busy this week settling into our apartment. We moved in this past Wednesday,…

An Afternoon in Venice
Last Saturday we took the train from Vicenza to Venice to spend a few hours wandering around with absolutely no plans. It was a chilly, cloudy day, but it was still nice to be out and about. I have been to Venice a couple of times, but always during the summer when the city is…

Halfway to Baby Shares!
A little update on Baby Shares: I am 21 weeks today and had my first appointment at the Italian hospital this morning. The nurses and my doctor were wonderful and Michael was able to come with me for this appointment since it was the first and it was the anatomy scan. Unless there are changes…
