Conquering her Tiny Fears
Despite her adoration of cats, she has rarely gotten up the nerve to approach one. A few weeks on the farm has turned her into a little daredevil.
More Adventures...
Not my favorite activity. That tiny little speck on the bridge is papà and Julia as they dangled over a monstrously violent waterfall. Please note the "walkway" on the side of the cliff where Leo had to contort both himself and an excited flailing Julia in order to squeeze through.

Uncertain
When Julia was 16 months old, a cow she was talking to gave a hearty "mooooo" and startled her so much, she continues to talk about it today. In fact, every cow she has encountered on this trip is judged "nice" only if "him no moo". And so while getting acquainted with her new pony friend yesterday, a most unfortunate thing happened....
Ponies
This little piece of paradise where we are staying is home to 12 ponies, 2 llamas, 2 bunnies, several guinea pigs and lots of cats. Needless to say, Julia is out of her mind. She is a staunch animal lover, but her fear of all things living and breathing keeps her from frolicking about with them as she would like to...
All until yesterday afternoon, that is. They released 10 ponies into the baby playground and Pixie was both thrilled and terrified. Well, first terrified and after a lengthy span of time - thrilled.

Arrivederci, Roma!
We took Antonio
and Julia to the Coliseum to get in touch with their Roman roots. They created more chaos for us then any blood
thirsty gladiator ever could – but they loved it. Tomorrow morning we are leaving to go the
Alps with the brothers. She is out of
her mind about it. A quick stop back to
Rome and mamma and Jules are off to “merica”

Picking Capers
Julia and I discovered a fun new past time. There are wild capers growing all over the 2000 year-old ancient city walls and we love to pick them and take them home with us.

The Little Russian and the American
Julia and Sofia have known each other for a long time. They were actually born on the same day. They get their respective points across using Russian and English - and, if necessary, their mommies translate the rest.
