It was a great day today. We started off by heading to church; there was a red carpet and two fine gentlemen in tuxedos to escort the ladies into the building. After a great service, we attempted a family picture, since we were all dressed up. I got a two hour massage after lunch and that was awesome. Then we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's for a great Mother's day dinner.

We've been having some okay weather lately; at least it's dry enough to play outside! I got a few good picture of the kids that I wanted to share. 
Jakey really loves his brothers; he's always hugging them and it's so cute to watch how excited Caleb and Andy get when Jakey hugs them!

Well, we're back. It was a fabulous time. I flew into Venice on Wednesday. We toured around there until Thursday afternoon, when we took the train to Florence. We stayed there until Saturday afternoon. Then we took the train back to Venice and flew home on Sunday. It was a whirlwind tour! It was nice to have an adult vacation but just as nice to come home and see the boys. Caleb and Andy were so excited to see us, but Jakey just cried because Grandpa left. Uncle Mikey happened to be in town while we were gone, so that was nice for everyone, except maybe Uncle Mikey, who worked extra hard to keep up with our punks. I guess the boys cried when he left, so you can imagine just how much fun they had with him! Here are some pictures for those of you that are interested:
