First, Joel's parents came to visit and meet Ava for the first time! So, we went to Pisa while they were here. I have to say that the attractions here do not disappoint (ahem, Liberty bell, anyone??? Linda, don't even defend it) and the leaning tower was no exception. It was cooler in person than I imagined, possibly because it was so clear on the day we went and it made for a beautiful contrast between the blue sky and white tower. We didn't climb up- maybe next time. Here is Aidan doing his best to keep the tower from falling:
The Springers mentioned that they had not yet been featured in the blog despite this being their third trip to see us here in Italy, so here is a picture of them to thank them for coming over:
The next day, we had Ava dedicated at church. It's sort of like a baptism; follow this link to read about the difference. Here we are, in church with our Chaplain, with Ava wearing my baptism dress:
Finally, how can July end without a family pool day? Here is a picture of Aidan, who is definitely ready for the water:

Hey, I take offense to that statement. The Liberty Bell rocks....okay, you can't touch it.....but that's the fault of the crazy guy who thought it would be a good idea to hit it with a sledge hammer. Whoops....man, one guy ruining it for the rest of us!
What about that creepy, dingy greenhouse tunnel it's in?? I sort of remember they were talking about making a new buildng for it- true or no?
