{our veggie garden & plum tree}

Mark planted tomatoes, lettuce, zucchini & beans. We've enjoyed TONS of lettuce and zucchini....we're waiting for the tomatoes to ripen.



We picked about 1/3 of the plums (which was A LOT!)---the rest will need to ripen a bit more. Heidi sent me a plum recipe that I can't wait to try and I froze some...for when my parents are here--we want my mom to make us plum dumplings :)

Enjoy :)
Ciao!

{sights from the car window}

The drive back to Italy from Germany was beautiful through the mountains. Here are some pictures of the castles I took from the car window:





We are so excited to be living in Europe again! What an experience for all of us!
Enjoy :)

{Legoland- Germany}

While Mark was working, the kids and I went to Legoland. It was about 1 1/2hrs. from Stuttgart. What a FUN day!



They had all the major European cities (here are just a few) created out of Legos--AMAZING!!!










The kids had fun riding the rides too............

















The train ride took us around the park.........





A little Lego factory..................
















Since Mark & Mark enjoy playing chess, we bought a Lego chess set....

Enjoy :)
