Well, fall is in the air! Overnight the weather has changed. The leaves are falling, there is a chill in the air, and we are getting rain just about every day! If we could only get it to rain while we are napping so we could go out in the afternoon and run around! Julia loves wearing her hat and mittens, thankfully.

Stephanie (Milani) has been visiting from Italy. It's nice to have her around. She dotes on Julia and Marco and they LOVE spending time with her. (Plus, she helps mommy out tremendously, which is a godsend.)

We all took a little road trip last weekend to Kew Gardens outside London. They are lovely and quite huge. Since it rained while we were there, we spent a good portion of the day in the creepy crawly kids section. It was great fun!

We still have our "cultural" challenges once in a while -- battling the post over packages they won't deliver or navigating the healthcare system -- but things are going well over all.

Stay tuned for more!
