Two days ago, we were outside playing around and Bruna was out stomping on the plants along the wall. I guess they are getting too close to the other plants and are threatening the entire balance of the garden. H and Z were confused about what she was doing and walked over to have a look. She invited us to join her in their backyard. The girls had a great time playing in their sweet, well-manicured yard while Bruna and I had a chat. She talks to me like I am an old friend. She laughs until tears stream down her face when I don't understand what she's saying or when I say something silly.

I was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, as were the girls. She asked me over and over again if I was cold. Then she asked me over and over if the girls were cold. She kept pointing out that we were wearing short sleeves. I then started asking her is she was too warm- she had on a long-sleeved turtleneck sweater. She thought that was hilarious.

This morning, on Mother's Day, I ran into Bruna. She took one look at the scarf I had around my neck- to ward off the spring chill- and exclaimed- "SEE, that's because you were wearing short sleeves the other day! You can't do that when it's the weather is warm and then cold and then warm again!" Spoken like a true mother : )

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!
