Randomly yours

Life's more hectic then ever these days. I make boxes all day long and Fabio run endless errands around town and nearby. I look forward the three months in the rental furnished apartment to unwind and finally catch up with some more formal schooling ( reading and math and english ) just to have some daily quiet time with the kids, around a table or curled on a sofa. But right now what is needed is action ! And a lot of it :)
I'm incredibly behind in my pics, so some random shots from the last 10 days ...

Gaia's new camera

Celebrating with grandma

The cake ( can you tell she loves Hello Kitty )

Dinner with Uncle Massimo ( on the right ) and Aunt Morena and our dear friends Valerio and Francesca

Creepy ! Any idea what can cause this ? In our garden we have plenty of this 'mutant daisies', each one is formed of 2,3,4 ... up to 7 !! flowers 'melted' together

Easter bunny ( I sewed them last year )

Easter basket (I sewed bunnies, and little table cloth and made the patchworked bells )

The table set for Easter breakfast

Bowling !! For the first time in my life I visited a bowling. Gaia since we're moving away wanted to have a little birthday party with her friends and she chose the local bowling place.

Helping out with the waste disposal heheheheh

I hope you're all enjoying life, such an amazing and interesting journey.

In 8 days we'll be leaving this place for good.

We'll be leaving Italy.

We'll be leaving a 4 years season of our life back, for good.

It could be scaring.

It is sometime.

It's exciting when i remember in which strong and loving arms I am held.

I know He is in charge.

be happy

Happy birthday Gaia !!!!!!!! Ten

Today Gaia turns ten. Ten ! Can you believe it's already ten years.

I was only 24, and quite scared of all was happening. At this time i was already in hospital ( I was admitted early in the morning ) but Gaia only arrived at 7:30 pm. Labour lasted 14 hours. When she was put on my chest i couldn't believe this pretty new human being came from me. I asked permission to touch her ! She seemed so precious and fragile I was almost afraid. My wonderful Ob Giorgio had a good laugh and told me 'Of course you can touch her, she is YOUR DOUGHTER'

My doughter.

A child was born.

A mother was born.

We share the very same birthday.

As i share a birthday with each one of my children

Happy birthday my beloved child.
