He arrived Thursday night at 8:03 pm, weighed in at 7.5 lbs and was 19.3 inches long. We just got home from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon, so we’re taking it easy these days. Thanks to those of you who have sent me congratulations! I have to say, he’s the cutest baby I’ve ever seen. [...]

On the way
Mom and Dad, that is, not my baby. Their plane should be touching down in Rome in a little while, then they’ll be taking the train from Rome to Pescara and on to Vasto where we’ll pick them up later today. Of course, now the little guy has to wait, at least until we pick [...]
The things that mean the most
The other day, O came home and presented me with this rose. Now, to some it may mean absolutely nothing. After all, what’s the big deal? In front of the school that’s right by my house there’s a rose garden and he obviously picked it there. But, does that change anything? Did he have to [...]

So, head on over and check out her recipe for Chicken and Mushroom Quesadillas, Salsa and Guacamole. Then get ready to have a Tex-Mex night. [...]
Merletti

Those are called merletti or, in dialect, puzzuell’, not to be mistaken with pizzelle which are yummy waffle cookies. Of course, spelling anything in dialect is just about impossible, but you get the idea. At first [...]
Bombonieri
Yes, it’s been a little crazy lately. I’m trying to get all of the last minute necessities taken care of, plus I’m still working and plan to keep working until the last possible minute. The latest thing we had to take care of was choosing and buying the bombonieri. What’s a bomboniere, you ask? Many [...]
