Stella is Becoming an Italian

My dear friends...it has been too long. Let me tell you: Since the arrival of the rest of the fam, it has been go, go, go. I have had hardly anytime to write and don't know where to begin.

I assure you that most of our time has been spent eating good food, looking for good food, or deciding what good food we will eat. Stella has also been keeping us very busy, so I think we are all staying fit with the walking.

Stella was made for Italy. She has been having so much fun. Her "Ciao" has almost replaced her "Hi" and all of the Italians seem to like her. "Ciao Bella! Che Carrina. Che bella bimba!" That is about all we hear when walking down the street. I can tell she is really happy here and that this cultural experience is truly a good one for her. Thank goodness for the no baby kissing rule, though. In Italy, it is illegal to kiss a baby in public. No, really, I am serious. We are pretty sure it is to prevent all of the old ladies, or scary old men from kissing all the babies they see. No worries, we get all of our kissing done in the house before going out. She especially loves kissing Alex.

Here are some various pictures of becoming Italian:
