Back in the USA

Just a quick blog to let everyone know that we made it back to the states last weekend after a very long/delayed flight. Parker was a real trooper and barely made a peep the whole time which made mine and Karl's stress level significantly lower than expected! This was a very busy week- Karl was at a conference all week in Norfolk and I spent the week showing Parker things like the park (thanks again for the playdate Stephanie, Stacey, and Skylar!), the mall, Chick-fil-a, church, and so forth. Yesterday, my mom and I took him to the Newport News Fall Festival and spent the day there- Parker loved seeing all the people and the trees (we don't have many of those in southern Italy)- then he met his aunt Cathy and uncle Steve, and we even snuck in a trip to the grocery store and he did great! Today was a big day also- he went to church for the first time and we went over to Christina and Darin's so he could meet some of my best friends! He's almost holding his head up by himself and he coos and smiles constantly now! I can't believe how fast they grow up!!!!

Karl left to go back to Italy yesterday and I can't believe I won't see him again for 3 weeks! He's coming back here though the end of the month so we can baptize Parker and take him to Indianapolis to meet the other side of the family! I'll post some pictures later today, but they're on my laptop and I'm just sneaking in a quick post before the little guy wakes up! Have a great Sunday and look for pics later today/tomorrow!
