Today I don't cry..

I promise that today I don't cry... But you have to carry me around all the time! Deal?

Help!

Iris managed to climb up while I was busy with something else. Since she loves to cry over nothing I first didn`t pay her any attention. But she kept complaining. Poor girl could not get down again on her own.

Morning coziness

Ready for a new day.

Ehhh mamma its not Christmas yet, why the candles and the raisin-bread? Because mamma love it!

Cutting the bread.
I love cookies.

Papa see... my bread look likes a motorbike.

Iris jumping in the chair

Now when Iris can crawl almost every where she better of entertaining herself. She likes to crawl to her chair and jump in it.


With all that fun she has Alessandro of course have to be part of it even as a inactiv partner

See my 2 teeth!

Ballgame

As you know Alessandro loves balls, balloon, and every other round object that can easily be played with.

The other day we took a walk to the nearby football field and brought a ball with us. We had a very happy child!

Iris took at the meantime a nice nap.

San Martino, the venitian cake (2010)

This year I have prepared the traditional sweet for S. Martin (a typical cookie/cake in Venice).

I've found a nice recipe here but probably next year I'll ask the great source of all recipes: mom!

After my hard work, also extra time (in the oven...), you can see a pretty decent result. Not the best, not the worst.

But you know what? Ale wants to eat the toppings only.... like.... I could have given him a bunch of smarties in one hand and the result would have been pretty much the same in his eyes.... Besides, he made a joyful WOW when he first saw the baked cake with all the decoration. At least.... (you see what a minimun level of satisfaction I have to deal with)!

Cute, cuter, cutest

She is the CUTEST girl ever seen!

St. Martin

We celebrated St. Martin in the kindergarten this evening (even though the St. Martin day was yesterday). Its all about socializing and walk though the city with the lantern.

Oh! And about eating.

Iris showed she is very ready to join the club of Kindergarten kids. But she still have to wait 3 month. Patience Iris, patience!


Here the lanterns are hanging waiting to get outside and be lighted.

However we do not take any pictures at the walk BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING CATS AND DOGS AND THE WIND WAS BLOWING. We had a raincover ready for the buggy and an umbrella for Marco and me, and we had covert the latern with a plasticbag.

The latern and Iris was the only thing we managed to get home dry.


Now we have a boy with a deep voice and a running nose.

And a girl that can't wait for the kindergarten life to start.

Trying to get some nice shots of the family but...

We tried to get some nice shots of the family in our Sundays best, but with tired kids the pictures didn't really became what we wanted. Still want to share with you though.

Iris is wearing a nice dress made by Bedste Vinni, and she looked adorable in it.

Yes the shirt is outside the troussers. He is a boy!


So much love in the family.
Sister, Im in charge here. Understood!?



No more pictures dad. Now the promised DVD.
