Corfu, Greece.

Our first stop on the cruise was Corfu.  It was a little overcast, but the island was beautiful.  We rented a taxi for a few hours and he took us on a tour and showed us the main sights.

This is a very old monastery, which is still active.

Greek Cruise!

 We went on a Greek cruise last month and had a great time.  We left out of Venice, which was amazing to see it from that view.  JJ loved watching all the islands float by : )  

We had a balcony room and remarkably neither child ever fell off the ship!

The first day of the cruise was a "day at sea" so we went to the pool and relaxed in the room.  JJ had been sick the week before and Owen threw up the night before we left, so it was nice to have a relaxing day.

Easter.

Just pretend like I'm posting this in April ; )  We had a very nice Easter weekend.  We went to Eggstravaganza at the US park for the first time on Saturday.  The kids searched the baseball fields for candy and had a nice time.  There were lots of kids there, but the boys got more than enough candy.

On Sunday we went to church, then the boys got their Easter baskets, and then we had friends over for dinner.  It was a nice day.  Sadly, this is the last year the boys will be getting HUGE chocolate eggs with toys inside since they are illegal in the States.

Yes, this was Owen's lunch for the day.  He loves chocolate!  JJ was more interested in the toy inside.

Beach day, Vietri Sul Mare.

I have lots of excuses why I haven't posted in so long. . .  we've been very busy, I've been extremely tired, and our computer broke.  I'm making it a goal to post more though, so hopefully I can be better. I'll try, I promise : )

A few months ago, we went to the beach with JJ's BFF from school and his parents.  It wasn't a very warm day, but the boys definitely didn't notice.  We had a nice day, but Owen got his first bee sting!  I, of course, freaked out!!!  He was fine though and I eventually recovered.  Thankfully he didn't have a bad reaction, just some swelling.  Now half the family has been stung by bees.

Owen is definitely keeping with the family tradition of eating sand.

Caserta Palace.

Last month we headed to Caserta Palace again with some friends.  I think we've now been there as many times as Pompei : )  We did both the inside of the palace and the gardens and it was a great day.

JJ and his little friend from school.

Owen was completely passed out during our walk through the gardens.

Bonus points if you can tell why this last picture is so funny ; )
