Never too early.....

to participate in the Democratic process.
We'll do anything for chocolate cupcakes! Never mind that they both started singing a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday!

Well, the ladies may have something, it is a birthday, a rebirthday feeling. I believe we have a chance at a new beginning! I haven't felt this way since '64. I think it is optimism and hope. Go figure. The cupcakes look yummy. Thanks for sharing the celebration!

Your "OBAMA" "OBAMA" chorus with little people on my voice mail was too cute! Cupcakes are a great way to celebrate and I share your enthusiasm and spirit of hope! America has spoken and the rest of the world is listening. Miss you all. Love you lots, Mimi

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

She likes to chase kitties, but her favorite hobby is barking...well, it was : )

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!
