So, here I am caught in the blogging fixation...finally. Mostly I'm doing this so that family and friends can see what's happening with us in Italy. But for now, while we're still in the states I guess ya'll will just have to be bored, but read on anyway!
Today was a bittersweet day for me (I think). As most of you know I pick Autumn (a little one I watch each day) from school. Her (real) mommy will be picking her up next week and then they are off to a new home in a different town. Why bittersweet? Well......I love her to death, but it gets hard to pay full attention to my own little ones and I sometimes feel...scratch that...a lot of the times feel that I'm not giving them the attention they deserve, and if you know Autumn then you know why. She won't see much of the Pepper and Ava cuz we're off to Italy in March anyway. They played hard all day so that was good it wore them all out. So they are sleeping already!
Speaking of sleeping already, Pepper has been staying up until 11PM which is a nightmare, ecspecially on days that he has to get up early for school the next day. He's so overtired that he gets completely wired and drives me insane! Luckily for me Nonna (italian for grandma!) has been visiting for the past week, poor woman I know they are driving her insane! She's such a big help, she came and forced me to get the house packed up and organized and we did YAY! Now I feel like I have nothing to do, so I've plunged head first into learning Italian. It's the only thing I can do, everything else is all on Den's shoulders.
Tomorrow we head off to get our passports, it's all so exciting and scary at the same time. I will miss my family terribly, but I know it's such a good opportunity for all of us. I've made really great friends here in VA, ecspecially since Pepper and Autumn started school. I'll miss my good friends Tanya, Fan, and Michelle the most, but we'll be back in a few years (I keep telling myself that!)
That's it in a nutshell for today.....

ReplyDeleteNonna here!
ReplyDeleteThe truth is I probably drove them nuts! (You know grandmas always have advise!) My daughter is sooo patient with me. And the grandkids, let me tell you about my grandkids! They are sooo smart, and know just how to twist grandma around their precious little fingers. They are so adorable and make me happy.
Those of you that know the power of prayer, please keep them in yours, (as well and grandma and papa) It will be hard to leave them for this time, but it is an excellent opportunity, and I know that Den is such a good dad, and Valeta is a wonderful mom.
That's all for now (Sniff, sniff) Chow!
Highschool friend Jill here! I just want to tell you that I am completely jealous!! I would love to plan a visit to Italia for sure! This is great incentive for me to learn my Italian tapes bought many a decade ago as well!! hahaha Someone to practice with!
