The past month.....

We have made it to Colorado the jet lag is gone yay ;-) and we are so happy to be in the United States of a Miracle with family! Before leaving for Colorado, we took a quick trip with some friends to the Dolomites mountains and stayed at a dairy farm in Castelrotto then explored the largest alpine meadow (according to  Rick, you know the one, Steves) in Europe. We were still in Italy yet it looked like Switzerland, and they spoke German - what??
Group picture in front of our farm house B & B.

The cows - a baby calf was born the night before we arrived!

The mini-hikers!
Out to dinner for a little birthday fun!
Last hug before we left Brodieboy ;-(

The sign our fam was holding when they welcomed us to the airport.

The wagon is ready for the 4th!

So is Carlie and the dessert we made!

1st big girl swimming lessons (no more mom & tots for us)!  She rocked them on the first day and then didn't want to get in on the second - ALLORA ;-)!

Playing in the fountain at her new favorite Colorado park!
Chilling with Patty - my parent's dog.
At the best zoo ever - Cheyene Mountain Zoo!
There is no glass between Carlie and this little wallaby.
She LOVED holding this little bird!

The chipmunks were also a big hit!
Just hatched!

Sisters!
Cousins!
Santa's Workshop at the North Pole - a.k.a. fun little amusement park - perfect for the mini ones!
Chooo chooo with grandma!\
