Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!


Yesterday we had the first snow...and with it the first real cold of this season. Ely and I woke up in the morning and all was covered by white, soft snow. The night before we started to listen to Christmas songs in great advance and we intend to decorate the house as soon as possible, probably the first weekend of December, because the next one we'll be in Milan. We have a whole Advent calendar to fill with chocolate sweets to eat every day until Christmas.

We won't celebrate Thanksgiving, but we had some nice dinners and nice guests last week. We love to spend time with friends and cook for them...Ely and I always find a new recipe to try and lately Martha's book helps a lot. Ely also could find the new Martha's Living magazine, and she is enjoying the reading.


Even here in Italy "Twilight"(the movie) was released last weekend. We really wanted to go to the cinema, but we still haven't finished to read the book...and we want to end the reading and then watch the movie. Maybe by the time we will finish the book, the movie won't be out anymore, but not too bad...we'll rent it.

We also want to congratulate our dear cousins Jenny and Jeff on the birth of their little son Wes. We are following all your steps into parenthood and your tender first experiences with the baby. We really feel close, even if far away and fortunately we can keep in touch with this powerful mean that's the blog. Thank you for keeping us updated and we really think of you and we hope that you can go back home soon with Wes and enjoy being parents in the intimity of your nice house.

Good week everybody.
