Spring....

When I was driving to a nearby town yesterday, I saw two dogs playing along the side of the road. They were joyfully celebrating spring- jumping all around and sniffing everything. As I passed them, I realized they weren't dogs. They were two small, brown, hairy, little pigs! They romped in the grass a while longer and then got spooked when a moped whizzed along. They quickly darted back into their farm.

Spring has sprung here in Italy, although my laundry sustained some hail damage today!

We have been joyfully celebrating spring...minus the sniffing : )

Smile! The Easter Bunny and the babies. What a happy day they had and so many questions, does he talk, where does he live, who is the lady in the flowered dress? and on and on. The ladies look lovely in their beautiful yellow dresses, ready for spring. And spring is indeed here in Italy as well as home. Enjoy the lovely weather as it comes. Love you all. Nannio

Spring break whirlwind!

I am sorry that I haven't posted this week. Diesel, I am so glad you figured out how to leave comments- we commented back on some of them! It was good to hear from you. I will try and do a catch up and post and then try to post more regularly next week...when time slows down, again. Nanny, I hope you made it home okay. The little engines were asking about you all day. We went over how you will be back, several times. I think they get it : ) Of all the weeks we have had here in Italy, I can honestly say, none of them have gone fast- except this past week. We drove Nanny to the airport this morning and it seems like we were just there to pick her up! This time, we went the right direction and it took much less time, fancy that. (You would think that with a map and a car we would be okay, but it is seriously difficult to get around here. You have to know several towns past your destination town that might be marked on the signs and then might not be. For example, you want to go to Ven

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!
