Wow Guess I'd better catch up on my Project 365 posts!!!!

So here is Day 8-12 :)

This is the Juliet Balcony in Verona where we went and visited last weekend. It was crazy busy but it was pretty cool to see it. There was also a statue of Juliet under the balcony. This is where there actually WAS a Giulietta Capuleti!! Who knows if Shakespeare ever met the real person that he based his famous character on!




This is Reese being mischief!!!!! She's playing with my chapstick :)

Ahhhh the fog, its been foggy for like a week straight, super close pea soup type fog. So gross, this is us at the park playing in it.

This was my self portrait for the week(very aware that you can't seem my face thanks!!!) Its my artistic Ode to the Italian Housewife!!!!!

This is Reese playing with the farm set from Grandma Lynn, apparently the pigs were rebelling or something because they were getting a good talking to!
So here is Day 8-12 :)

Project 365 Day 7

Jessica came for a playdate, so imagine two little girls, all wired up and chasing each other around the house squealing at the top of their lungs......yeah!!!! I think I was partially deaf after they were done and the neighbours must think we got a monkey as a pet :) It was pretty funny to watch though, round and round in circles. This is them concentrating very hard on the dollhouse. Its fascinating to watch kids play with things like this, they come up with the most unlikely situations!!!! I think in this shot Jessica was showing Reese how her doll should use the potty because she knows that Reese is trying to learn to use the potty too. Such a sweet kid!!!!

Project 365 Day 6

This was what we did today, cleaned house, potty trained(notice Reese is not wearing any pants!!! She is wearing underwear though)
Then Reese had a fascination/obsession with a red checker and a piece of red ribbon and poor Henry had to be her canvas as she put them on his back in various arrangements and he walked around with them on. Seriously he has the patience of a saint some days.
The last shot is of her and Henry "snuggling" on the floor. This usually doesn't last that long since Henry MUST get a bit sick of Reese being in his face and I remove her before we have another "incident"
They are so cute together though, and she's wayyyyy more gentle with them now a days

Winter Fun :)

Here are some pictures from our skating and sledding adventures when we were home in Canada. Reese throughly enjoyed both outings despite the cold!!!!

Project 365 Day 5

Well we've been having some issues in our house lately, Reese is STILL jet lagged and keeps waking up at 11-12am and then staying awake for 2-4 hours. So we're all exhausted!!! Today Reese missed nursery school since the alarm didn't go off and so as a result I also missed Italian. We had a fairly productive day cleaning the house though and then I decided since it was nice-ish out that we should go to the park around 4. Glad we did!!!!! My one for today is the one of her walking down the lane near our house. I love this lane, its magical when the sun is setting through the fog like it was today so I'm really glad I managed to get a shot of Reese walking down it!!
The other two are of Reese hanging out with Henry.....ok so its more like she's got him in a choke hold. He seemed to be enjoying it at first but then it got a bit much for him just after I snapped this picture and I had to peel Reese off of him before he lost his mind, poor dog.





About Me

My photo
Milan, Italy
I am 34 years old, married to my wonderful husband Richard and mother to a beautiful 8 year old daughter named Reese. We lived in the suburbs of Calgary until January 2010 where I worked as an ER Nurse. Then my husband was transferred to Vancouver for a 6 month temporary project. Our blog Tripping over the Sidewalk told all about our adventure living on the 30th floor of an apartment building in the middle of downtown Vancouver. Then we moved to Milan, Italy for 18 months, Ciao-Eh was the online forum for our Italian adventures. We moved to Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates in January 2012 and lived there for two and a half years. Sandscrapers, Souks and Sand is the blog of our adventures in the Middle East! We are now happy to be back on a little acreage just outside of Calgary where I'm sure more adventures await!!!!
