Alex is so photogenic. I don't know who he takes after, not me! We have been taking pictures pretty much all the time since he was born and he is more beautiful in each one. I know I am biased but still...
Still not walking on his own though...

Things that make me feel very small

We had bad news today. Our friends are going through the unthinkable, their child has a serious illness. I keep looking at mine and thinking what would I do if it was him? I would lose it, that's what I would do. And yet they are bravely facing all this and hope for the best.

I feel now very guilty for being so small as to worry about his little runny nose and occasional fever and cough. I know people will say it's natural but I can't help but feeling I shouldn't worry so much and enjoy him because you never know in life.

I am proud to be their friend, I mean I was before, but now, in light of this, I am even more for the amazing courage and restraint they are showing.

I know it will all end well, I deeply believe it, I have to. What do you say to them without sounding trite? I think I can only say: I am here, for anything.

All my love,

S.

Oh My! it has been so Long!

It has been over a year..I can't believe it! Well, to my defense I had a baby in the meanwhile, which is a lot of work. He is the love of my life and I adore him. Now he is 6 months old and he is gorgeous...and teething, God help us all!

Anyway, I just joined Bilingual Babies, because I am determined my son will speak both Italian and English.

I promise I won't be so long until the bext post...

Venice


Hubby and I went to Venice to celebrate his birthday last weekend...it was sooo beautiful. Really warm and sunny. We visited a few places but mostly roamed around the streets taking it all in. I had been there before but it was great to be there with him...

I highly recommend it to everybody...so worth the trip.

Back online

My website is now updated..ok not by much but at least I did a look over to check out broken links etc. you can see it here www.samscreativecorner.com
I am going to try and be better at updates!
So what happened since September?
Hubby and I celebrated our second Christmas married, by Hollywood standards we are an old married couple! We went to Orlando and Savannah, Georgia for New Year's. I love both these place and the people that are there and we had a blast. I think hubby fell in love with Savannah.
Sometimes I think everybody needs a break.
Santa brought us (well ...the kids, but since it's in the house we might as well use it) a Nintendo Wii. And I love it! My mom beat me shamelessly at Bowling but I am improving, and it's so much fun!
I am going to try to blog often...just in case anybody reads it :-)

An amazing, ordinary life...

It was raining today in Edinburgh. Maybe it is quite fitting when a life is consumed. I have mixed feelings. Although I will miss her I am strangely relieved for her too. The prisoner has been set free. That body that got in the way of her mind, she finally left it behind. Now she's back with the love of her life and that dog that she secretly loved. 22 years is a long time to wait to see each other again. I wonder how she felt, looking back at her body, now nothing but an empty shell. I bet she is happy to have gotten rid of it. I can see them walking arm in arm like they used to, so long ago, my grandfather asking "what took you so long?" My grandmother died today.
