Quick gift-opening pics : )

Hooray, I found the pics of the box from Grammy and Grampy! Sorry Bad Mimi, I tried to crop you out since your eyes were closed, but the children were protesting!

No problemo, Mommy-O. It's always good to see pics of the little engines having fun opening boxes full of surprises! Grammy and Gramppy have a "knack" for sending gifts that suit the girls to a "T"!
Reading the blog and seeing the latest pics is always a joy. You have a special "knack" for keeping it "fresh" and fun! I promise to assist you in any way to keep updates going during my visit.
Your lovely assistant, AKA MIL, with all my Love, Bad 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...
