Happy Birthday Jessie!!

Yep she's fifteen today! We gave her a bracelet and a Liverpool soccer jersey we bought her in London, she loves them both :) We got up early to get a seat at St Peters for the papal audience, which was veryyy awesome! The pope got in his popemobile and rode around through the crowds so we got some good pictures of him, and then he got up there on the steps and started speaking in Italian, half of the time without his notes. They introduced to him all of the groups from different churches in Italy and other countries... among them were kids from Benedictine College (woo woo!!) and probably what was the entire student body of the Austrian Campus of Franciscan U!! (Woo woooo!!) they were the loudest group when it came to cheering ;)

after it all ended we got a blessing from Pope Benedict, which he said was also extended to members of our family, especially the sick and the young. So if youre part of our family, congratulations!! :)

We came home, had lunch, and took naps! its raining alot outside so we'll be staying indoors the rest of the day, makin dinner again :)
