Holy Moly this is really happening. At 7:30 this morning we will board a flight that takes us to Washington DC where we will board another flight to New York where we will board our final flight to MILAN! Deep breaths. I got a little emotional last night tucking Landon in mostly because I don’t […]

I’m really, really going to miss these faces: I try not to think about it too much because I know they’ll be fine. But Italy is a long way away… And I just really, Really, Adore them. Really.
