Ive thrown a few random photos in here of our travels this year and friends and just random fun. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Penelope Nicole and Lucia all gussied up for Halloween 2014. Seems so long ago!

 Back on September 15th, 2014, the girls went to school for the first time here in Rome... 

 In February 2015 we spent the day at the house of Luciana's sister, Anna and her husband Nicola for the first birthday party of the son, Giulio, of Maia and Giovanni.

 Back for Halloween again here below is Lucia's class all decked out..lucia is a cat, bottom right.

 And Penelope's class, Penelope was Princess Elsa from the movie Frozen... Let it Go...

Lucia and Penelope donning soap hats in the bath...

After a successful game of palla-volo the girls take a pic with coach Massimo... Lucia has been playing volleyball and Penelope has played mini-basket ball. Sadly I have not taken any pics of Penelope's playmates.

 A rare day out for a Picnic when we had our excursion to Giardino di Ninfa (pictures to follow). We had a puppy follow us around so we fed him too and he and Ale both had a cat nap afterward.

 Yesterday, on May 26th, Lucia finally lost a tooth that we nicknamed "snaggle" since she refuses to wiggle or attempt to pull it out. Here you can see the new one growing in. Not the prettiest picture but, well, you know, childhood isnt all pretty and cute.

 And the first night on Lucia's "campo-scuola" on the beach in Lido di Jesolo, for four days, three nights to Venezia, Padova, Burano, Murano and Vicenza.
