Italy
We had a fabulous week long stay in Italy. We stayed with my friend Nancy and her son Jaron there. They were so great to us!!! We saw Venice, Verona, the Soave castle and Cinquee Terra. What a whirlwind trip!
Here is our entertainment while we are waiting for the train in Cinque Terra. We've found the railway there is a little late. A nice lady came over the intercom ever 15 minutes and told us our train would be delayed another 15 minutes. After our train was over an hour late we decided to take our business elsewhere
Beautiful Beach at Cinque Terra. If you look closely there is a huge sculpture in the rocks behind us on the right.
Kyle at St. Marco Basillica in Venice
Elli in Venice. More lovely than any sculpture!
One of the highlights of our trip. An awesome castle in Soave. It was really old and really cool and really rainy. Wow! Inside they even had peices from dishes they found in the castle and original coats of arms and beds and tables and paintings. It was very neat.
We ended up getting stuck at a train station in the middle of nowhere for an hour in the dark. Luckily Elli's happy attitude was the glue that kept us together!

Airplanes
We have been working up the girls muscles for our long flight back to the states. I hope they make it!

Halloween!
Here are our princesses before our old ward's Halloween party
Here we are on Halloween night at our "Family Party"
This doesn't have to do with Halloween, just an every day activity for Abby, its pretty hard to keep her clothes on. You think winter would have discouraged her.

More Elli News
We had the results today of Elli's genetic testing. They found that she officially has a genetic mutation that is classified as Glut 1. So we are official. These results are what we expected. We are relieved to finally have a diagnosis, but it is also a hard thing to know as well. Interestingly the lab hadn't ever seen a mutation like hers. I guess we've always known she is special!
