Chapter 14

ok folks I accidentally wiped the photos from the Dante Sciandri party. Sorry anna, no cupcake and decorating ideas, but the photos will probably show up on face book.

Noni and Gramps had a great time at the party yesterday but they were the last ones to be picked up. We were waiting for Noni to call us but she never did and we did not want to just show up in case they were not ready to leave. Michelle and I went to get them and this was lucky as we missed young Lucca throwing up. But I did get to see Dante and wish him a happy birthday.

Yesterday afternoon we had two great Skype connections with Sara and Eleanor one at 5.15 PM us time and a second one at 6 PM. We took a short break in the middle to get Eleanor sorted and to round up the 2 little guys on this end. Noah was bonding with the toilet and Lucca was playing with cars. But overall this was a great success. Lucca tried to share his chuchi with Eleanor and she looked like she was interested. Sara got to see Non and gramps, Michelle, Krista, Tony, Mike and Linda and the 2 boys, so that was the best yet.

We had a great dinner again last night. Auntie lindy makes a pasta with cherry tomatoes and eggplant. She cuts up the eggplant and tomatoes and tosses them in oil and salt and pepper and  some garlic then roasts them in the oven until they are starting to dry out. Then she tosses them in a pan with the pasta and it is very yummy.

Last night I also met Michelle’s friend Lee who is a very nice guy. Everyone likes him and thinks he is a keeper. Little Noah has really adopted me now. Anna and Josh will remember that he really did not want to talk to me when I was here 2 years ago and would start singing if I said anything to him. But he has decided that I am more than ok this time and comes and leans against me all the time.

This morning I need a reality check regarding my luggage. I have to try to get all my stuff in the suitcases and see how much it weighs as weight rather than space is going to be the big challenge. I have not been to Sees yet and need to know how much more I can fit in. Honestly we have not gone near the garage!
