Time to catch up on some pictures....

Opening a box is a favorite activity at our house. For my girls, it's just like going to the park, or coloring, or any other activity. I am pretty sure they think there is an endless supply of magical boxes filled with treats in the utility room! Perhaps this will be the one thing they miss when we are back in Ohio...but something tells me they won't even notice!

This box was from Grammy and Grampy (thank you sooo much!). It contained a very interesting puzzle. It took us a while to piece it together.....what a thrill for them- they were tickled!










A dollar bill was tucked into each card. The first time they "had their own money." The girls posed a lot of questions about their new treasure. We had a conversation about spending money and saving money.







Next up- a box from Auntie RoRo.
More lovies!
Something for Fonzie- what a great Auntie! He has appropriately mauled the toy and lost it under a couch somewhere.

Thanks for thinking of us! We love and miss you all!

Thank you for sharing the smiles and delight that accompany boxes filled with treasures! That is the gift of giving ---seeing the joy that presents bring. The photos of the girls are sooooo adorable-but how can you miss with such sweet angelic faces? We miss you and love you! Mimi

Have a Very Merry Un-birthday to you, to you....

The tallest of the small is 6.5 years old. We had the usual half-birthday fun. At school, on her half-birthday, one of her friends told her that half birthdays aren't real. She mentioned this to me when she got off the bus. Then she asked me if half birthdays are "real." Hmmmmm. "What do you think?" I asked her (love that parenting technique). Well, she explained that lots of people don't celebrate their half birthdays, most people probably. But since we do, they are real for us. Sounds good to me : ) You get to celebrate their lives twice as many times- how can I resist, besides, it involves CAKE people! Happy half-birthday!

One afternoon, we decided to go into Pordenone to walk around and check out the city, perhaps to have a tasty cappuccino. Sounds fairly simple....we set off in the morning and all went well until we got into the city. Driving here is like playing a video game, only if you hit a pedestrian, you are going to Italian jail for life. There are people walking, people riding bicycles, dogs running, cars, motor scooters, taxis, and buses with which to contend, not to mention one-way streets and the penchant for Italians to post 10 signs when we Yanks would only post one- maybe two if it were a really scary situation. No small task- also, there are usually two small folks in the seat behind me saying, "mama?" over and over again. Now you would think that Juney and I would have our Navigator/Co-pilot roles fairly well ironed out by now. That is also not quite the case- shall we say we need more practice with our roles? I think that would be fair, Nanny, no? I think this might be the on...
