This One's For You My Friend Tanya!

I have such high hopes of blogging more often than I do...too bad there's a 1000 things on the list before. Maybe I should call it journaling and then I would make it higher on the list of priorities. Anyways, I told myself today WILL be the day and there will be no excuses, so as my clean clothes sit on the sofa waiting to be hung, I'm sitting on my cozy bed beside my beautiful sleeping baby.

Our first Chritsmas in Italy was WONDERFUL!! Do you want to know why? One down, only two left to go!! I'm only kidding...umm...I think. Here's the real reason why it was wonderful.




Aren't they both so CUTE!! If you notice in the background we have a real chair and a dining room table. Our household goods arrived a week before Christmas. We couldn't have been happier! The arrival of our things has made life much more comfortable. Honestly I was dreading the next thirty or however many months we have left. Now it feels like the last two weeks have flown by!

So I do believe we are starting to make the adjustment. It's now been over two months since we arrived. It's feeling okay to say this is home...wouldn't want to call it home forever but it's okay for now! Now, it's your turn to come and visit us!! Here are a few more pictures of our Christmas.

A girl after my own heart!


A girl can never have too much lip gloss!


She loves her Daddy!


I just love these girls!!
