Easter!

I took Sisi to the American Church, where she goes to day care, so she would participate in the Easter activities. She was a bit too young but she had fun watching and playing with the other kids. She was too affraid to get her face (or even her hand) painted. We will try again next year!

The day after is another holiday called the Pasquetta. We went to the Pizzo house to b-b-q and have a big lunch, and drink wine, and eat sweets. FUN!

The Table. At first it was cold and cloudy so we put the table near the house for shelter and and much in the sun as possible... not long after the sun really came out we had to move the table under the trees for shade!

Here is where we moved the table.

Vincenzo, the master b-b-q-er

The SWEETS, there were 6 different types of sweets! I tried them all.

Mario and his nonno, Vincenzo's dad, playing football.

Rome, Sanna and Will!

We took a stop in Rome while we were on on way to the south of Italy for Easter and while we were there we met with Sanna (my old boss/friend) and her husband Will ( old sailing partner/friend) and Will's parents for a dinner.

This photo is on the top of the building and it is our terrazza!

Our terrazza.

In this photo is another view of the terrazza and the little box looking structure with a white door is our apartment! It was very cute, small, but so cool.

Walking around Rome!

Gimmy and Sisi, in front of our apartment building, ours is the tippy top floor.

At dinner with Will and his mom,

Sanna and Wills dad. We had not seen Will and Sanna for almost 2 years and it was funny to meet up in Rome for a "reunion" and a yummy meal.

It was a good night in Rome!

Babbo Day!

Father's Day

I printed cute photos of Gimmy and Sisi for decoration for the day, along with a "bird" kite that Gimmy could play with Sisi,

and a Ferrari shaped dark chocolate car! Yum!

Funny Fotos of Sisi

Sisi's first day of asilo (daycare, only about 2 hours for 3 days a week).

She still likes to do this...

Haha!
