Arrivederci Italia

Another Basketball season has come and gone. This year in Italy has included a lot of new experiences! We started in Treviso then moved to Montegranaro. We tried (I'm not nearly as good as Ryan) to learn Italian. But the best part of this year is the new addition to our family. Asher has already changed our lives so much and definitely for the better. We are loving being parents! I can't help but just sit and stare him every chance I get. One of my favorite things to do is sit and watch Ryan talk to him and hold him. Another great thing about having Asher is enjoying all of the visitors! We have had an amazing time with all of the family who has come to see us. Right now my parents along with Kim and Tyler are here visiting. We started off here in Montegranaro then traveled to Assisi, Siena, Florence, Genoa, Portofino, Cinque Terra and now we're off to Venice! We'll be coming home in the next couple of days and could not be more excited to introduce Asher to all of our friends and family back in the States. I don't have many pictures and they aren't that great. My brother in law was the trip photographer. Better pictures to come!
Lunch in Montegranaro
Then off to Assisi

In Assisi this random guy cleaning at the Basilica stopped us when he saw Asher. He said that he wanted to give Asher a gift. He said that babies remind him of the Restoration and so he wanted to give Asher a coat hook that he had restored out of incredibly old wood. It was very random but also very sweet.
Lion King anyone?
Then we moved on to Siena
The boys hanging out in Centro of Siena. Beautiful!
Hanging out and reading about the area
We kept track of how many gelato's we ate on the trip. I won't mention how many it was!

Then we moved on to Florence
Asher turned 3 weeks in Florence! He's getting so old!

Then off to Cinque Terra...BEAUTIFUL!
Just a couple adorable pictures of our little buddy on the trip. He was absolutely perfect. He made it easy to travel all around with a 3 week old newborn. Love him!

And, Asher looks so cute. It makes me want another one, and I still basically have a baby.
