Thank you so much for knocking yourself out over it!<br /><br />When you wrote about how the boys knew all the art before they actually saw it, that reminded me so much of how my mother prepared for vacations. I didn't even know she was doing it, but she prepared us so thoroughly! She read tons about where we were going to go and what was there and told us all about it and showed us pictures so that we really knew what we were going to see. She was great at that. Sounds like you are, too!Melissa H-Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03674140433439195917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-66271644107979352522014-04-25T14:26:46.668-04:002014-04-25T14:26:46.668-04:00I'm loving your updates but I have to comment ...I'm loving your updates but I have to comment on this one because the Vatican Museum was my absolute favorite part of visiting Rome (that and having gelato for dinner). I was honestly more impressed with the hall of maps and the Raphael rooms than I was with the Sistine Chapel, and seeing all of your pictures of them brought back all the wonder for me. And it is so great that your boys loved it, too. Keeping you guys in my prayers as you continue this incredible journey WritingWillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10087089064442209724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-40228591154356921742014-04-25T10:48:45.756-04:002014-04-25T10:48:45.756-04:00Love reading these posts, Mary!!

Ok - tomorrow you and Brian need to head into a little shop and grab some bottles of wine, cheese, and bread and after the little ones are asleep, enjoy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037300765670839439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-12976407213822628722014-04-25T09:56:43.648-04:002014-04-25T09:56:43.648-04:00I am loving all your updates!

Andrew wanted us to go to Rome this spring but I was reeeeeally not up for trying to either take the kids or leave them at home with somebody...
