2011 Hope and Faith

Che questo sia il mio anno della Fede.

Fede come fiducia,

quella fiducia che riempie il cuore di speranza.

Quella speranza,

che ti anima di passione.

Passione per la vita stessa.

Per il solo fatto di vivere.

Che questo sia un anno di fede e di speranza

Might this year be my year of Faith.

Faith like confidence,

that confidence that fill the heart with Hope.

Hope that wakes up passion for life itself.

That this one might be my year of faith and hope

'' Ecco, Dio è la mia salvezza ; io avrò fiducia e non avrò paura,

perchè l'Eterno,si l'Eterno è la mia forza e il mio cantico,

ed è stato la mia salvezza ''

( Isaia 12:2 )

''Surely God is my salvation;

I will trust and not be afraid.

The LORD,

the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense

he has become my salvation''

( Isaiah 12:2 )

Happy New Year

This blog has been on hold for the great part of this year 2010. Many things happened,life brought us here and there, most probably will keep doing so for some more time.

Among my wish for the new year is to bring this poor and neglected blog of mine to a new life as well. I will try to write often and more often, and make it a real journal of our family life, as it was intended when I begun.
I hope I'm gonna make it.
And no, of course this is not my only resolution ... the most serious ones are stored in my heart.

I want to wish all my friends a very very happy end of this year and a New blessed wonderful Year 2011 with you dear ones.

Happy New Year,

with all

heart

Happy New Year

Here it is, year 2010. The year my dear oldest doughter will turn 10. It seemed so far away the very idea of this tiny little newborn girl to be ten, and the year 2010 so far away too, after celebrating the new millenium. But time sure flies isn't it ? Many thoughts cross my mind in this period. I know i am at a turning point. I feel lost, so often. I have to remind myself that the only thing i need is to follow straight that light that always shines in my heart, even when the outside darkness seems so bigger.

I hope that all of you, who read here silently, and all of you, dear friends, who i got to know thanks to this blogland of ours, and all of you, far away friends reading our adventures to stay in touch with us, will have such a good, peaceful and happy year. With all my heart.

Christmas Eve. Our nativity. I loved it this year :)

Christmas morning, Santa's been here tonight !

On 29th dear uncle Massimo and aunt Morena came for dinner and brought some more presents :) here the youngest watching a movie with the brand new teddy bears

Melting lead for a little 'blacksmithing' experiment

And look, doesn't it looks like a miniature Statue of Liberty ? It was just a lead drop, but the shape is incredible, and we thought maybe it means finally next year we'll finally get out from the situation we're in for good. That would be great.
