Our Own Story This Summer

Gorgeous pic of a gorgeous family!
Can't wait to hear the stories, see the pics and live vicariously through you.
I was born in Italy and haven't been back in a long time. My grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins are all there..someday..someday!

Welcome home...enjoyed the posts, but miss you. Take a breath and rest.

How exciting!!! What a wonderful opportunity. Can't wait to see your photos and scrapbooking pages!! :)

Oh my gosh, what a cute family. Love your outfit. Can't wait to hear all about it! I have seriously missed your daily presence in my life (via this blog, obviously)!!!!!!!

BEAUTIFUL family photo! You look so trim and happy! Looking forward to seeing how you tell this story.
Along the lines of your summer series, I've really enjoyed Paperclippings' posts on scrapbooking a vacation (they can be so overwhelming). If you haven't seen that series, it's at:

OMG! I think I've been to both of those places when I was on my honeymoon 6 years ago! Brings back so many memories!
Welcome home! :)

Just got back on Sunday from traveling in Italy for 10 days with my family as well! Wasn't it so so so wonderful? All of it seems like a dream. Welcome home, Ali!

I could tell just from the first photo that you were in Europe! After living in Germany for the past 2 years and traveling a bit I have learned that Europe has a distinct feel too it. I am glad you were able to slip away for a bit and spend time with your family.

Welcome back Ali! (Sorry about the crazy heat here - lol) What a wonderful adventure you must have had - can't wait to hear more about it :)

Looks like you had a great time! Just returned home from our first trip to Europe visting Germany and Beligum-too. Can't wait to see you scrap your trip!

Looking forward to seeing how you scrap your trip! We took a 12 day trip to Italy, Croatia, Greece and Spain at the end of May and I haven't decided how to scrap the trip yet. Have loved the guest bloggers ideas but can't wait to hear & see what you are going to do!

Sounds like it was an amazing trip! Looking forward to hearing the story.
Does Simon ever look like Chris!

Ooooh! I cant wait to hear all about it. :)

Okay I just posted on today's post asking where did you go.. but nevermind! I see from your photo you were in the same place we were!! We rode on that same carousel! That was Florence, right? We went to Rome and I'm getting all the piazza names confused right now! LOL!
That family picture is awesome!! Didn't you love some of the artists lining that piazza selling their pictures and the outdoor cafes? And we were able to catch 4 different musicians in that square playing live music. I absolutely love that kind of living. (Though it was VERY hot, wasn't it?!!!)
Glad you are home safely. :-)

Goodness, your son is so like his Daddy!!

What was it like spending the 4th of July in another country?

so don't know if you would remember us buy jen (from ohio) & my daughter mckenzie both say hi..we stayed in the hotel right by the merry go round at spring break and Mckenzie just screamed omg thats where we were and we ate the the same geliotto place..small world. funny huh..the kids are beautiful and growing fast. we are doing well and hope to talk to you soon. lots of love- jennifer & mckenzie

Italy is a fantastic country and every region and cities of Italy is a small world apart with a history all its own.
I,clearly, am biased, but Italy is a small work of art for those who live there

Can't wait to hear about it Ali....always look forward to reading your blog-it always makes me smile....

nooooo,if I knew it,I would come to meet you.I am living 30 km from Milano....next time.I hope you liked the trip.baci

Sigh ... Firenze!
