Just back from Silcily! had a lovely time with Marco and Cinzia. It felt a bit of an adventure getting an 11 month old on a plane but all went well with the help of friendly siclians entertaining him! also impressed with more friendly silcians at the airport when our suitcase was taken by someone else to be returned 2 days later!!!!

Sicily is a beautiful place. We enjoyed lots of food and laughter! We stayed at marco and cinzia's which is on Mount Etna an active volcano(real smoke coming out)! which we could see out of the window every day. We also had the priviledge of meeting a couple called Martino and Kathy who had moved to Sicily from America as they felt called by God to.

Anyway here are some photos of our time away...

Here are some recent photos of elijah. He has many facial expressions and his most recent one is shaking he head like he's saying no!

Meal times are definately the most animated, cheeky and frustrating times!!!! Its amazing what food does to one whos so small in size.

Bread sticks are the favorite they have not been refused yet! Although the playing with food has started and the pick up and drop over the side of the chair is the most fun!
