Sicily.....

These pictures all pretty much speak for themselves.  Sicily was really, really nice.  We spent about half of our days sitting at the hotel pool all day and the other half finding neat beaches to hang out at.  It did get a LITTLE hot for my 8 months pregnant taste though.  I may have started crying at one point because I was so hot and felt like I was suffocating in my own body.  Yeah, it was that hot.

BUT, it was also beautiful and we had a really good time.

Hallie learned how to snorkel and is now addicted.

Chase refuses to snorkel mostly because Matt really wants him to try it and he's the king of opposition.

Anytime I get out the camera to take a picture of Chase he starts "shaking his booty" for the camera and will NOT hold still.  So I have lots of pictures like this one.

I loved watching Hallie get passionate about something that Matt loves so much.  Matt went snorkeling/spear fishing EVERY day when we lived in Hawaii, and really wants his kids to love it as much as he does.  Looks like 1 kid down, 1 to go.  Soon 2 to go, but I'm not letting him take this baby snorkeling for a while.  She needs to be a few weeks old at least.  :)

We are currently going through a pizza/gelato detox.  The kids start convulsing when I tell them they can't have icecream today and we're not having pizza for dinner.  It's back to healthy eating habits for these kiddos, and they're not happy about it.

When Chase WILL hold still for a picture (usually after being threatened by Matt), this is what his face looks like.  I think I prefer the dancing to the creepy plastered on smile.  haha.

Overlooking Trapani.

Exploring a cool, old city above Trapani.

Spent a lovely day at this little cove.  The hike back up wasn't all that lovely though.

Once again, Chase with creepy smile.  CHECK out that water though! 

Uh huh, yeah, it's gorgeous.

So is this little girlie.  She's loving being in 1st grade, although she did tell me that they don't do nap time in first grade and she's not cool with that.

Now back to real life.  No more vacation for us for a looooong time.  Well, Christmas time when we go home to the states. 

In baby news:  The Dr's here do an ultrasound at every apt (love that) and this little woman is a BIG FAT BABY.  :)  She's measuring 2 1/2 weeks bigger than how far along I am.  The good news about that, the Dr is going to induce 2 weeks early! YAY!  Two less weeks of being pregnant.  That means she should make her arrival in a little less than 3 weeks.  Oh man, here we go!
