New Pictures...

Josh is adjusting to life between two houses very well. He is liking the attention but is also enjoying his "personal space"









Here are some new pics of Joshua. Sorry for the delay, we forgot about those who don't see him on a weekly basis! There will be more to come.....

Family Photos....

A couple more.....

Last Couple......

We had some family pictures taken before we left Germany. These were just a couple of them above and below that we thought we would post.

Home Again...

Back in Canada Safe and Sound Here are some pictures from our return home. I didn't get many because I was too busy trying to get through the Airport with our 7 bags and the baby. The one above is with Jess's brother Dylan and the one below is with my mom. (We really need to get this German right arm in the air out of his system if you know what I mean!)
We were very fortunate to get the bulkhead seat with a little bed for Josh. He slept for three hours, woke up and fed, and shut 'er down for another 3. It was a great experience and we were very lucky. We were scared of the 10 hours on the airplane for a long time. It is a relief that we are now home. Yesterday I stayed at a stop on a red light for 3 minutes before I realized that I could turn right. I couldn't figure out why people were honking. I then bought Josh a chair and questioned the saleslady on the price. She then showed me the bill and I remembered the amount of tax on a purchase here. Tough to get used to after the no tax in Germany. I am also answering people in German and looking for the "salesperson who speaks English." Needless to say, the culture shock is overwhelming!

Sleeping.....

This is our son after a hard day of travelling in Italy. He just crashed on the bed at the hotel!

Italia.....

I thought I would put in some pictures of our time in Italy. I didn't take many pictures but here are some "highlights" below:

This is Jessie and Josh at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I was waiting in line to go to the top of the tower when it hit me. The view of Pisa is not worth going up thousands of stairs! Therefore, all of our pictures are from the bottom of the tower.

At the bottom of the tower is a nice grassy area. We just sat and relaxed because it was a beautiful day in Italy.
This is Jess and I in Florence. We were in front of a famous bridge in Florence that survived World War II bombings. It was really neat because the bridge was lined with shops two stories high with little balconies. It was like nothing we had seen before in Europe. Florence was one of the nicest cities we visited in Europe. These are our top 5 trips in the Davis official rankings:

1. Brugge, Belgium

2. Florence, Italy

3. Normandy, France (and little towns along the coast)

3. Amsterdam, Netherlands

4. Innsbruck, Austria/ Garmisch- Partenkirchen, Germany

5. Paris, France

Side Note: I have a little "Hasselhoff" hair going in this picture (must be the German in me)

This is the most beautiful building I have ever seen in Europe (and probably anywhere). It is the Duomo in Florence. The attention to detail and Michealangelo paintings on it are unbelievable. Joshua was crying one night so I took him out for a walk at 11:00 and this building was crazy at night. Really cool. (I was enjoying an After Eight Gelato)

This was a sqaure in Pisa beside the Tower.

On the trip Josh was fantastic on the flight. He was happy sleeping, happy when awake. He slept all day in the Baby Bjorn while travelling too. The only incident was when he cried himself to sleep (and I mean cried) at 11:30 at night in the Hotel. On the second night this lead to the entire floor changing rooms but it was nice to have a floor to ourselves! We had to take turns going to breakfast because we didn't want to be, "the couple with the crying baby." ha ha ha ha...
