Al Museo di Storia Naturale
December 31, 2016 // Posted in Travels | No Comments
Yesterday we decided to go to Milan, by train, to visit the “Museo di Storia Naturale“; the museum was amazing and exciting, in particular the section with the dinosaurs, and Lorenzo really enjoyed it. Beatrice too was happy enough, and then we had also the possibility to go, by train, from Porta Venezia to Porta Garibaldi, to watch the new Unicredit Tower, one of the amazing skyscraper that are changing Milano’s skyline. Piazza Gae Aulenti was another piece of the new Milano we really enjoyed.

We started 10 years ago, with this post, and it was a joke. After 10 years our blog survives, and it is full of our lives. It is like a diary, but we like to share it with all the friends we have around the world. And also with the ones we have close here around.

Abbiamo la fortuna di avere due bimbi, per di più splendidi; giocare con loro è qualcosa di unico e magico. Se poi il 4enne comincia pure ad appassionarsi ai trenini….
We know we are lucky because we have two lovely children. To play with them is something of unique and magic. And if the big one starts to like the miniature trains…
Pranzo di Natale

This year we didn’t resist to the invitation for a Christmas lunch at Marco’s and Francesca’s place, together with Michele and Ilaria, “nonna” Margherita, “nonno” Beppe and “nonna” Carla. Thanks a lot for the great lunch, and thanks for the nice moments spent together. In the afternoon we then received the visit of Luisa, Paolo and little Francesca. So, at the end, we spent our Christmas with the more close relatives we have.

As last year (see here), this year to a lot of gifts arrived, during the Christmas night, around our Christmas three. Lorenzo and Bea have been, evidently, a good boy and a good girl, respectively. Let’s hope we will find room for everything in our apartment. Merry Christmas!!!

We were class mate at high school when Luca started his traditional Christmas eve visit. Afer his marriage, he started to visit us with Chiara, then with Anna too, and now with also Marta. And always he likes to visit nonno Beppe and nonna Carla. So, the same happened this year too, with also, obviously, Matteo. Thanks!!!
Pizza e panettone con Maurizio e Antonio

Yesterday evening we had Maurizio and Antonio (our colleagues and friends) at our place for a pizza, as it happens sometimes (see here). But considering that Christmas is very close, this time we also enjoyed a good and special “Panettone” from Sicily, a gift of our Company. We spent a lovely evening, with Lorenzo and Bea particularly quiet and happy, and we look forward to have them again our guest maybe at the beginning of the next year. Thanks!!!

It is since a while that Silvia is thinking to build a gingerbread house; and today, with a cold and foggy Saturday outside, and with Lorenzo and Bea very happy to help her, she decided to try. Although she is, as usual, very critic versus her results, we think that the gingerbread house looks wonderful, and we hope that soon we will be allowed to eat it. Good job Silvia, and good job Lorenzo and Bea.
Due anni di Bea

During this long weekend we decide to escape from the cold fog to reach the sun in Finale Ligure. Here we enjoyed the sea, the beach, the happiness of Lorenzo and Beatrice, and we also celebrated Beatrice’s second birthday. It seems yesterday that she arrived (see here), and it is amazing to think that already two years have already flown. Thanks Beatrice for being with us and for being so special!!!
I binaschini
December 5, 2016 // Posted in friends | No Comments
The adult male component of sacchibelli’s family met Enea at the University (roughly 26 years ago), and a special and true friendship started. More recently it is hard to stay with him and his lovely family (Ilaria, Greg and Ricky), because of many reasons. But this weekend we were very lucky, and we had the possibility to share with “I binaschini” a lovely afternoon, with a lot of fun coming from Ricky & Lorenzo. Bea was happy too, and also Greg (a bit out of category, being now 14 years old) was very kind with the babies. Thanks for coming, thanks for the special friendship and for the great gifts!!!!
