Sisters' Sabbatical~Nov 09

Traffic jam near Napoli

November of 09 found Jennifer and Laura having a sisters' fabulous get away in the beautiful boot. Jen had been to Italy once before but only for a few hours. She just had to find a way to go and visit her sister after nearly 2 and half years of being apart. They got to do a little get away sans kids for five days. They talked and played and dined out and walked their legs off and slept in and enjoyed every minute. Their sweet husbands made this happen for our hard working, weary girls! Jen got to stay for ten days total. We love those sons so much for this and many other things! I think Jim and I enjoyed this vicariously as much as our girls did.

We have enjoyed our two trips totaling seven weeks in Italy while our kids have lived there. It is hard to believe their three years is almost over. Unbelievable and very exciting!! We look forward with great anticipation to their return to the US in mid July. However, there is just a little melancholy in the thought we may never pass that way again!
