The Allisons

Back in Italy and getting back into a routine. The jet lag took its toll on poor Ezra, but his sleep patterns have finally straightened out. We had three nights in row of being up for several hours in the wee hours of the morning. However, it was so much easier shared by two parents instead of one. Mike is home and we are enjoying being a family again. It didn't take long for Ezra to warm up to Daddy. They seem to have picked up right were they left off 3 months ago. The picture on the left is a rainbow behind our house after a particularly nasty thunderstorm. And on the top right--a picture of Ezra helping with the laundry.
Under those are pictures of the grapevines in the backyard. There's a vine of purple and of green grapes. And then there are dew berries along the back fence. They're about halfway done ripening and they were so good right off the vine.
The last few pictures are of Mike and Ezra. We were sitting in the backyard enjoying the cool of the evening. It was probably around 75 degrees. We could also hear the music from a nearby bar. The month of August is vacation month for pretty much the whole country. Hard to believe I know. But even businesses (including the Italian movie theaters) close down for at least part of the month.
Great pics huh? We have so many things to be thankful for!!
