Home Sweet Home :)

Well, life has certainly changed this week!

Wednesday found us flying home from Sicily after saying goodbye to friends who in many ways are like family now :) It was hard to say goodbye and a little sad to leave Sicily after 7 adventureous months of living there! It was a wonderful experience for all of us and we're grateful to have had the opportunity to live amidst another culture.

A week ago life consisted of a little housework and lounging at Disio Resort by the pool......
Reality has set in and we are back in the swing of life here in America :)
Ben starts football practise tomorrow, we need to get the kids registered for school, Dani's studying for her permit and Heather's job hunting.

DJ and I didn't waste any time jumping into a project here at home. Friday we ripped the carpet out of the living room. There is a hardwood floor underneath that we decided to have refinished. That will get done this week and I'm so excited :) I hate carpet! I'll share pictures after it's done :)

My blogging may be a little sporadic for the next couple weeks while DJ's home.
There are still some pictures and journaling about Sicily I would like to share with you.

For now we are happy to be home.
The American flag, green grass, sprinklers and the sound of lawn mowers have all been welcome sights and sounds!
