Hospital breakfast

Most everyone raves about Italian food and "si" I agree that for the most part, the food is "kiss your fingers and hold them up" wonderful (translation for Italian hand gesture: too fantastic for words good); However, when it comes to breakfast I have always thought there was something missing. Here is an example of what I am given to eat in the morning. A bowl of warm milk, a sugar packet and 3, count them 3 little cookies in a package! I usually have a few hidden items from previous meals (fruit or bread) to help hold me over to the next meal, but what about all of those other hungry hospital patients???

I asked a friend who studied photography here in Italy to come and take a few pictures of us as a family before our next addition. I wanted to capture my GROWING belly and Charlotte as well. These are a few shots I have seen so far. I am happy with how they came out! Looking forward to seeing the rest!

Enjoying Sicily at Christmas time

 

I know I am behind on blogging about our time in Sicily over the holidays, but really I am in "nesting" mode and trying to figure out just how we are going to add another little body into our 1 bedroom apartment! However, I wanted to share with you a few pictures from our trip. We had a good time and really enjoyed the warm weather in Cefalu' and Palermo!
More to come about baby preparation..... stay tuned!

Charlotte turns DUE!

I have wanted to share our Sicily photos and Lottie's 2nd birthday with you all, but time is just running from me and I don't often feel that I can catch up! In any case here are a few from the birthday celebration.
We were actually in Palermo for her bday, Gio was working on a genealogy job most of the day. The little one and I spent a few hours at the park before meeting up with Gio for lunch and then again for dinner. When we were home in Milan a few days later we invited our friend and Lbug's FAVORITE sitter, Amanda, over to help us eat some pizza and cupcakes in her honor!
