We’ve been visiting with our ultra-creative-nudist-artist-gardener-musician-traveler-hippie friends for a long time now, and the more we get to know them, the more thankful we are for them.  Their awesomeness can only be experienced, not described.  Usually we gather for an afternoon or dinner date, but this time we spent a couple of nights at their house… and we are hooked.  Now all we want to do is stay there more often and for longer stretches.  We really appreciate you guys in so many ways, both for the kindness and teaching you offer Matt and I, and for the way we see you creating with and supporting our children.  I love the way my kids are when they are with you.  We hope to see you in Italy, and to come back and stay with you again soon.
