Margie and the Becks visit

Last week we were so lucky to have Margie and the Beck family come to visit us. It was so wonderful to have them here, to show them around Italy and to have the kids all play together. Jessie had been planning her trip for several weeks, but Margie's visit was a last minute surprise. She was able to fly in for just the weekend, which was amazing.

When everyone arrived, we spent some time hanging out at the apartment and we went to play at the park. Claire and Zoe had a great time getting to know each other again and playing like they meant it!
It was so wonderful to finally meet Tristan, Eloise's birthday twin. It was awesome seeing the babies play together and interact with one another. Tristan is such a wonderful and happy baby!

During that first full day, we all went to Capri to see the sights and we got to visit the blue grotto, which was very cool.
We then wandered around Capri, ate some lunch and enjoyed the views.

The birthday triplets... only people born on July 30th were allowed to be in this picture. ;)

The next day, Sunday, we dropped Margie off at the airport, and the Becks went up to Rome for some sightseeing and stayed overnight. Then, when the Becks returned, Aaron and Andy went to Pompeii while Jessie and I hung out with the kids on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the 6th of April, Claire's birthday, we went to the beach in Vietri and then had dinner at our house with our friends, the Macks.
Here is a picture of Claire with Sadie and Zoe. The girls had way too much fun together.
And, of course, there were Pinkalicious cupcakes for the birthday girl.
On Thursday, the Beck's last full day in Italy, we went to downtown Naples to seek out the famous "original" pizza restaurant, which was delicious. When we came back, the girls hung out eating Popsicles on the deck and later had fun in the bath.


Tristan was totally wiped out from all the fun.

And I loved hanging with my friend, too!
