ski baby!

Like I mentioned earlier, we've been trying to spend as much time as possible at the lake! Recently, we had a HUGE first for our Nora! She water skied for the first time! Thanks to the O'Keefes, it was a perfect lake day, and we celebrated our brave and determined Nora for doing such a great job!

What?! I can't believe it's been so long since we've checked in! There have been so many things going on! Here's a little list :)

1. We built a new house at the lake! We're starting to feel settled, and have been trying to spend as much time there as possible!

2. Nora bean is now 4!! and our sweet 'baby' Elliot is 2! They are pretty good buddies most of the time :)

3. David is only a couple classes away from his degree, and we are SO proud!

4. Grand Forks is still home, but we'll very soon be making a big move!!....

5. WE'RE MOVING TO ITALY!!!!!!!!

David wasn't ready to hang up the skates after all, and when an opportunity came up to play in Italy, we couldn't say no! We leave Aug 1, and will be there for about 8 months! We are anxious and excited, and will be welcoming any visitors :)

David's new team!!

We will be living in Eppan, about 15 mins from Bolzano in northern Italy. Looks beautiful!

Now that we'll be so far away from everyone, I will be back up on the blog keeping you all up to date on the Hales in Italia! 

Here are some recent pics of the girlies too!!
