Austria, Germany, and more!

Thursday, September 3rd we found out that we are having a GIRL! Pretty exciting. We are thinking about naming her Riley (middle name TBD) Scott. I am really excited to start SHOPPING and getting things together for her arrival! I am still deciding on final colors, but i'm thinking about bright pinks, greens, and blues. We'll see how many times I change my mind.


Anyway, we are finally getting somewhat settled in Italy now. We have two sweet cars (a 94 BMW, and a 2009 VW Jetta TDI), a house (as of today....YAY!!!!), and our first shipment of household items (still waiting on our Texas shipment). It's only taken about 2 months, but I guess it was worth the wait.

Labor Day weekend we went to Salzburg, Austria and southern Germany (ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRIES!) We toured the salt mines which were really cool. We got to slide down some awesome slides, and ride on a train through the tunnels. Anyway, here are some pictures of our travels and activities thus far:
