Il compleanno di Gioele
October 9, 2016 // Posted in celebrations, Lorenzo | 1 Comment
Quello di oggi e’ stato un pomeriggio davvero speciale. Gioele, uno degli amici piu’ cari di Lorenzo, conosciuto al centro estivo del CUS, e poi re-incontrato quest’anno, a sorpresa, alla scuola materna, festeggiava i suoi 4 anni, presso un centro (Sogni e Cavalli Onlus) dove ai bimbi e’ stata data la possibilita’ di cavalcare. Lorenzo, gia’ al settimo cielo per la festa del suo amico Gioele, ha cosi’ provato l’emozione di cavalcare un bel cavallo bianco (Ivrea), che si e’ dimostrata molto paziente, e ha scarrozzato il buon Lorenzo per il percorso che era stato organizzato. Davvero una giornata unica. Un grazie a Gioele e ai suoi splendidi genitori, che si sono dimostrati tanto gentili e simpatici.
Today, in the afternoon, we went at Gioele’s party, at (Sogni e Cavalli Onlus). Gioele is one of the most important Lorenzo’s friend, and the possibility to ride an horse made this party very special. Thanks Gioele, and thanks to your parents that were very kind with us.

Sacchibelli di corsa
October 9, 2016 // Posted in family, Pavia | 2 Comments
Oggi era il giorno della “Corripavia“, e cosi’ abbiamo deciso di parteciparvi tutti insieme, optando per la “family run”, con Lorenzo in modalita’ da corsa, e Bea spinta nel passeggino. E’ stata una bella festa, con tante persone allegre, tanti amici incontrati e il piacere di gustarsi una “passeggiata” per la citta’, per una volta a disposizione dei pedoni, e non schiava delle auto. Le medaglie all’arrivo per Lorenzo e Bea li ha resi particolarmente felici. Un’esperienza da ripetere!!!
Today all the sacchibelli family ran through the city, participating to the “family run”, a 2.5km run for family, within the event called “Corripavia“. It was a fun and happy experience, and we all enjoyed it. Lorenzo and Bea, in particular, were very proud of the medal they received at the end. We met a lot of friends, and we will try to repeat the experiment next year, maybe with Bea running and not in the stroller…

Giocando a nascondino
September 25, 2016 // Posted in Beatrice, friends, Lorenzo | No Comments
L’altro pomeriggio abbiamo incontrato il Pesu, con Luisa e le loro due bellissime bimbe Alice e Viola. Dopo aver preso un aperitivo in compagnia in piazza, i quattro “monelli” hanno cominciato a correre e a giocare a nascondino per la piazza. Ed e’ stato davvero bello vedere tutti i bimbi felici e sorridenti, correre liberamente per la piazza finalmente liberata dalle auto, come se fossero loro, i bimbi, i padroni della citta’. E davvero, pur rispettando le opinioni di tutti, fatichiamo a capire come possano esserci tante persone che preferirebbero poter circolare con l’auto anche per il centro della citta’…
Last Saturday we met our friend and colleague Alessandro (aka “Il Pesu”) together with his lovely family and we had an aperitif together. Than, the four babies happily played together running in the main square of the city (Piazza della Vittoria). It is a pedestrian square and luckily it was really “car free” (while sometimes cars are present), and it was very nice and funny to play together with Lorenzo, Bea, Alice and Viola, feeling safe in that square. It is really hard to understand why someone still would prefer to be allowed to go by car in the center of our town…

Palloncini
September 10, 2016 // Posted in Beatrice, Lorenzo, Uncategorized | No Comments
Anche quest’anno, a inizio settembre, a Pavia si e’ fermato il mercatino europeo, con l’offerta di cibi piuttosto esotici da vari paesi del mondo. Qualcosina abbiamo assaggiato, anche se i prezzi non erano proprio popolari, ma cio’ che piu’ ha entusiasmato Lorenzo e Bea sono stati i palloncini. Dal momento che si sono comportati bene durante l’intero weekend, alla fine abbiamo ceduto, e il palloncino titti, e il palloncino elicottero sono cosi’ entrati a far parte dell’arredamento di casa sacchibelli. In attesa che l’elio svanisca e i palloncini atterrino…
As usual, this year at the beginning of september, the European Market Food stopped in Pavia. We enjoyed some good food, but it was a bit expensive. However Lorenzo and Beatrice were very happy when we bought them two balloons. And we still live with those ballons around our apartment, although they are not flying anymore due to helium loose…

Al parco dei dinosauri
August 21, 2016 // Posted in family, Travels | No Comments
Domani si riprende con il lavoro d’ufficio, e in attesa che gli asili comincino e vadano a regime, riprendera’ il valzer delle baby-sitter. E’ un po’ un peccato, perche’ queste tre settimane di full-immersion con i nostri due bimbi sono state davvero intense. Per “salutare” questo periodo un po’ speciale, oggi pomeriggio siamo stati al Castello di Piovera, per ammirare “The World of Dinosaurs“, un’esposizione itinerante di riproduzioni di dinosauri, dimensione naturale. Il clima (caldo e umido) non era il massimo, le zanzare piuttosto fastidiose, ma i dinosauri erano davvero ben ricostruiti, e il parco del castello decisamente suggestivo. Inutile dire che Lorenzo fosse piuttosto su di giri…
Today, the last day before to come back to the office, we decided to visit the “The World of Dinosaurs“, a dinosaurs exhibition in the park of the castle of Piovera, not too far from Pavia. The exhibition was very impressive, and although there were a lot of mosquitos and it was too hot and wet, we really enjoyed it. And Lorenzo in paritcular was very excited.

Metti un cugino e uno zio a cena
August 20, 2016 // Posted in family, food | No Comments
Oggi pomeriggio siamo stati a trovare gli zii Marco e Francesca, con Ilaria e Michele. Abbiamo trascorso il pomeriggio da loro e poi la sera abbiamo avuto il piacere di avere Marco e Michele a cena da noi, mentre Francesca, Ilaria e una loro amica si dedicavano allo shopping in quel di Arese… La cena e’ stata improvvisata e il piatto clou e’ stato un risotto con salsiccia e fagioli, parecchio apprezzato. I bimbi erano un po’ su di giri, ma e’ stata davvero una bella serata. A fine serata la TV e un biberon per i piu’ piccoli ha portato un po’ di calma….
Today, in the afternoon, we went at Ilaria’s and Michele’s place. Here Lorenzo enjoyed the great amount of Michele’s toys, and we had some fun. While Francesca and Ilaria went out for shopping (at Arese), we invited Marco and Michele for an easy dinner at our place. We prepared a more than decent “risotto con salsiccia e fagioli”), and the babies were very excited. At the end, a bit of TV and some milk for the younger helped reaching a more quiet atmosphere. Thanks for coming, and see you soon.

Un weekend gonfiabile
July 4, 2016 // Posted in Beatrice, Lorenzo | No Comments
Questo weekend non avevamo particolari programmi. Un po’ per riposarsi un po’, un po’ per dare respiro ai piccoli che sono parecchio provati dai primi caldi e dal loro scatenarsi agli asili. Poi domani Lorenzo comincia il campo estivo al Cus, mentre Beatrice comincia l’asilo estivo, con cambio di maestre e compagni. Insomma, un weekend di transizione, che pero’ ha avuto il suo apice nel pomeriggio trascorso ai gonfiabili. Lorenzo li adora, e Beatrice ha cominciato a conoscerli… E alla fine, erano tutto fuorche’ riposati….
Summer starts to be hot here, and our vacations are still far enough… Tomorrow Lorenzo will start his summer camp at “CUS Pavia”, while Bea will start her summer daycare, with new friends and new teachers. So we decided for a quiet weekend. However the kids had lot of fun at the “inflatables park”, and at the end they were very tired.

Gelato in compagnia
June 26, 2016 // Posted in Beatrice, friends, Lorenzo | No Comments
Viola e’ una delle compagne di Lorenzo fin dal primo anno di asilo. E la sorella Giulia e’ compagna di Bea. Inevitabile che nascesse una sana amicizia con Cristina e Carlo, i loro genitori. E anche se non capita di frequentarsi spessissimo (l’anno scorso siamo stati in piscina da loro, vedi qui), l’amicizia tra i bimbi si fa giorno dopo giorno piu’ solida. Cosi’ e’ stato un piacere avere oggi a casa nostra, per un gelato in compagnia, tutta la famiglia Prandini. Lorenzo era particolarmente su di giri, e’ stato un po’ molesto, ma la giornata e’ stata bella e divertente. Grazie di cuore per averci regalato un bel pomeriggio!!!
Lorenzo and Viola met each other 4 years ago, at the nursery. Now they are still together at the kindergarten. Moreover also Viola’s sister (Giulia) is a nursery mate of our Bea, so you can imagine, how close we feel each other. Today we were very happy to have them at our place for a gelato-based snack. Thanks for coming, and thanks for being so kind with us.

Dal parrucchiere
June 19, 2016 // Posted in Lorenzo | No Comments
Settimana scorsa e’ toccato a Bea. Stavolta invece e’ il turno di Lorenzo. Per Lorenzo andare dal parrucchiere (Nevio & Maurizio) e’ un rito, che ripete ogni volta con il nonno Beppe che lo tiene in braccio. Ma stavolta il nostro 4enne preferito ha deciso che e’ grande a sufficienza per affrontare il primo taglio “da solo”. Ed ecco che, attento, osserva Nevio all’opera.
It was haircut time for Lorenzo this week, as usual with Grandfather and Grandmother. But this time he was more independent, and he didn’t sit on top of his grandphater, but alone, on the seat.

Con l’aiuto di Lorenzo
June 19, 2016 // Posted in Lorenzo | No Comments
Lorenzo e’ sempre stato affascinato dall’autolavaggio; ma se da piccolo questa sua passione implicava un significativo sforzo per fargli lavare la macchina (vedi qui), ora e’ quasi indipendente, e oggi mi e’ stato effettivamente di grande aiuto. Piccoli bimbi crescono…
Lorenzo always enjoyed when we went to the car wash. But today he also helped me a lot, as you can see. He is still a baby, but he is growing very fast…
