We are back...

Well we are back in the States! It has taken me a couple days to get back in the swing of things, so i apologize for the tardiness of my posts.
Our last night in Italy we ended up going to the Hilton Airport hotel and just relaxing. We worked out, took carter swimming, and then ate supper. We actually had really good hamburgers...think we were ready for something that tasted "American."

Our flight left Rome at 6am..so we left the hotel at 3:50am. We got to the airport and unfortunately the power went out in the airport...nice timing right? Well we waited around for about an hour and it finally turned back on. Once we got to Amsterdam, we had to run to make our connecting flight. Luckily they held the plane for us. The flight was about 8 hours long..and overall it went well. Once we reached Minneapolis we had a 4.5 hour lay over, so needless to say it was a very very long day.

Luckily Carter adjusted well and to be honest(nobody get mad at me ok?) Carter never missed a beat..he slept through the night all week long! Yes i know my next child is going to be the worlds fussiest kid...but for right now I will count my blessings!

Carter turned 7 months old this week. Couple milestones update:
*Got his 2nd tooth...both on the bottom front
*Loves picking things up and passing it back and forth
* Crawling...No not yet, but he has figured out what he needs to do...Ellie and I are predicting in the next month or so
*Food...loves to eat!! Gets so excited when the spoon and baby food comes out. Squash, applesauce, bananas are some of his favorites. We started some of the stage 3 Green beans and rice and we are thinking we might start to add some table food soon.

I posted a few final pics from Italy

Ciao!
