Emily turns 8 on Wednesday but yesterday we had her party because some very special people are in town right now! Jon's sister and niece (below with Ava) have been here for 2 weeks.
And my friend Connie has been here visiting her mom.
We had 20 kids!!!! I think Emily had "the best birthday ever" which makes me very happy.
We have been very busy visiting:
Paris (the Louvre and other sites plus one day at Asterix Parc)
Italy (Venice and Verona)
Austria and today we are going to the Czech Republic!
We stayed a night in Garmisch and toured Neuschwanstein Castle. I feel like I'm leaving something out....
I will post pictures later.
