Twas the month after Christmas....make that two...

Is it ever too late to post Christmas pics???? As many of you know by now, I certainly don't think it's too late to send out "holiday" cards. Next year, maybe I will just face reality and send out Valentine's day cards...St. Patrick's day??
Here are the girls making Reindeer dust- or some such item. It's oatmeal with glitter and it's supposed to guide the reindeer in for a safe landing....only we didn't put it on the roof. I wonder if we were supposed to? Maybe that's the problem with that rickety old satellite dish up there....it's full of reindeer pooh, I mean dust : )

The little ladies and pop making holiday surprises, what fun! Everyone looks like they had a good time. Don't you know the holiday season runs from Halloween to Easter and includes all in between. So you are never too late or early to celebrate the holiday season. Remmeber the Xmas tree that became the Valentine tree and actually made it to St. Patrick's Day? The only drawback was the needles, fun is always fun. Love the happy faces enjoying the good time. Ciao, ciao.
Missing you all, Love, Nannio

Seeing people we love having fun is always in "season". The attention that the girls give to their projects is so precious! Thanks for sharing your Holiday Adventures with all of us. Seeing all of your smiles makes me smile, too! Lots of Love, 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...

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!

Italian Pottery

Once upon a time, we were on a mission to a town called Nove. We knew it was Wednesday afternoon and therefore some stores might be closed. We knew that we didn't have the exact store names. We knew that it would be several hours' drive away. We were on a mission to find beautiful Italian pottery . Some of you may know that My Man is 1/2 Italian. His grandmother did a bit of painting in her time. Sure, she was Italian, and sure she was painting on ceramics, but that isn't exactly what we had in mind . She would buy the white ceramic pieces and then paint them...no we were looking for something more in the line of "art." So, we set off. Aunt D is our trusty navigator- always. It is very difficult to navigate here and she really does a wonderful job. Uncle Crusty was at the wheel- he also does a great job. It's not easy to "just drive" while all the other eyes in the car try and figure out which way to go. As he says, he knows he's in trouble whe...
