Okay its not a baby, or a puppy, or a mum but I'm going to show it off anyhow!
Having been on hiatus for the last six months, I bought this lovely 1880 Victorian and spent time relaxing (and scrubing and dusting and cleaning). I also reached a personal goal  ;D

On September 8th 2008, it was my very great pleasure to give my daughter, Stella, away in marriage.

The ceremony was in Rome at the Palazzo Brancaccio, located on Colle Oppio, the ancient Roman Hill near Nero’s “Domus Aurea”.

The bride, Stella is from Wembley, England (but half-Italian and hence the location) and the groom, Charles (aka Charlie or Chuck) was originally from San Diego, USA. Both are now living in northern Italy. Stella is doing post-doc research work in aeronautical engineering at the University of Udine, while Charlie is a Captain in the USAF flying very fast aeroplanes.

The wedding went well, with a few tears. The reception was at Castel Gandolfo, next door to the Pope's summer villa and overlooking Lake Albano. Can't get much more romantic than that!

The groom's family came over from the USA, of course - 5 adults and a 6 month old baby. It was my duty (and pleasure) to give them a tour of Venice and Rome. I think they appreciated it, apart from the baby who (wisely) slept through my comments.

Congratulations, and thank you for sharing.  The picture with sunlight flickering through a tree should start an international trend in wedding photography.  And your daughter, need I say, is lovely.

Congrats!  I just got back from Rome and you'd be amazed at how many weddings take photos in front of the ancient sites!

Here's an updated one of me and my wife in Rome this last September...

Just a week ago I went return back from Turkey where we visits some ancient greek cities. This first pictures are from Priene. This city is real greek, no roman bildings. You may seen also the huge dimensions of the columns! Interesting also the ivy-twigs an the stone-chairs in the theater. This ivy symbols are everywhere in Priene, on colomn basis, on capitels aso.

Priene is my very favorite Greek city, and it also delights me because the land around it is like the most fertile land of California, and so is the light of western Turkey.   But you are more observant than me: I didn't notice the ivy.  And I haven't been back for nearly forty years.
You are looking great.  Obviously travel agrees with you.  I always feel best, too, when seeing things like Priene and Miletos.  I've never been to Aphrodisias.

Peter D... lovely photos and great place to have  a wedding and celebration!!

What is it that Rome has I truly do not know (or yes...  ;)) - I know for myself, since had the immense joy of living there 6 years when a kid, in the mid to late 80's.
And about Rome and weddings, one of my best friends proposed to her now wife in the Roman Forum itself, the small slope heading towards the Palatine while on a 3-day tour I gave to a group of friends. Can't get better than that...
And a year later (2006) I proposed to my wife inside St.Peter´s Basilica, on the big red granite circular stone next to the entrance where Charlemagne was crowned emperor in 800 AD. Probably some tourist took the picture... pity will never get to see them!

Peter, Jay, and Roland...those are some wonderful pictures.  I would love to get to some of the sites I read, study, and wonder about, but with a wife and two small kids it is not a plausible scenario.  With daycare, the market on a downturn, and other expenses, I will probably not make it anytime soon.  One of my 7th grade students, however, was just chosen by "Who's Who" for American middle school students to take a trip.  With all expenses paid he will visit Cairo, Giza, Saqqarah, ancient Troy, Athens, Rome, Florence, and Paris!!  He promised to bring some photos holding our school logo up.  This is the best way for him to see that what I taught him is real and amazing.  If only I could take all my students to the locations we learn about...  Maybe someday it will be possible. Anyway, here is an updated pic of the kidos.

P.S.  Nice house indeed Robin... :)

Best, Noah

How they grow!  But as beautiful and bright as when babies.  And that's a cute paired portrait.  Just think: when they are in high school, they'll be the same size already.  Pat L.

High school!  Wow, I can't even think up to Kindergarten yet! ::)  Yes, they grow quickly.  Sawyer is speaking English and Portuguese like a little parrot.  Unfortunately, I am the only one who speaks to him in Portuguese, so it will not be as strong as his English.  Still, I can't let this opportunity pass.  At least he will be fluent enough to get by.  Lily is babbling, but says few discernable things beyong "mama."  Thanks for the compliment Pat
