After weeks apart we are all together having fun!!!

There is a carnival at one of the big parks in the city for a few weeks, we took advantage of the sun and enjoyed a few rides!

Dressed up in the City of Lights

For some time now I have been taking a backseat to blogging. At first it was due to some technical difficulties (ie. phone being stolen, hard drive crashing, ect...) but now I am just being lazy I guess!
The last week of OCtober Giovanni had a big International participants meeting up in Como for EXPO and I decided since he was going to be gone most of the week to head to Paris to visit with our friends! We had a GREAT time! Giovanni joined us for a long weekend and we packed in much fun along with lounge time! Here are a few photos of Halloween. I will post more about the rest of the trip at a later time.

We celebrated Halloween by attending the American Library in Paris activities, including Charlie Brown's Halloween and trick' o treating through out the library.
As you can see we had 2 insects! A Yellow Butteryfly and a Spider that LOVES to crawl!

A view from a new window

Here is the view from Giovanni's new office window, Milans' first skyscraper at 30 floors (he is on the 30th floor nicknamed the celestial floor). Situated in front of the central station all of Milan can be seen from here, on a nice day even the alps!

Standing up

Isaac started standing on his own! So fun to see him discover new things each day!

Where would we go?

Monday night during our family time we were talking about Elder Dieter F Uctdorf, one of our church leaders who grew up in Europe in the after effects of WW2. We were talking about how they had to leave their home. I asked Lottie
What we would do if we had to leave our home, her reply was so simple: "we go to Utah mom!" we laughed, but she was serious! How I love how she solves problems!
