It has been an year quite busy, full of joy thanks to the babies, but not always easy. Now it is Christmas time, and we wish to all our readers a Merry Christmas.
Centrale del latte

Now also Beatrice is 1 year old, and she started to drink cow milk. Beatrice and Lorenzo drinks at least 1 liter a day, and it often happens that we have a huge amount of milk in the refrigerator. Maybe we should think to buy a cow…
Al polo sud?

Today we went at Museo di Storia Naturale, to participate to an event for children. The place is amazing, and although it could potentially be one of the best museum of natural history (but for sad reasons it is not possible to find the right place where to emphasize the beauty of the animals collection) it transmits at least a very impressive atmosphere. Here we found a beautiful giraffe, and the polar bear you can see close to Lorenzo and Anna. And many other interesting animals…. But this is just a little portion of the amazingly huge complete collection.
Un anno di Bea

P.S. Qui il primo compleanno di Lorenzo
Bea arrived one year ago, and she brought to us a lot of joy. We celebrated her first birthday, and we had a lot of fun looking at how Bea tasted the cake…
P.S. Here you can see Lorenzo first birthday
Un’esosa colazione
December 9, 2015 // Posted in Lorenzo | No Comments
Sometimes, during the winter weekend, we like to stop in some place, during our morning walking, to have a breakfast or something similar. One of our preferred places is Loft 10, an american bar quite elegant, but with a lot of room, and close to a beautiful bookshop, in the center of the town. This morning Lorenzo ordered a pear juice and an artisan muffin. To save money (the place is quite expensive) we had to order only a coffee. Hopefully Beatrice is still too little to order anything…
Chi controlla il controllore?
December 7, 2015 // Posted in environment | No Comments
As probably some of you already knows, we live in relatively quiet zone of a relatively quite town. We can reach the center by walking in 20 minutes, or by bije in 5 minutes, and we enjoy such a position, far enough from caohtic traffic and noisy zone. All around us you can find small condos, with some decent green area. The only not residential building is the one close to us, where “Arpa” (a regional institution that should control and check environment pollution) is based. Among the pollution it shiuld control, there is the acoustic one too. Sadly, since few days, a new heating system has been installed, just close to our windows. Sadly, this heating system is very noisy, and it works also all night long (while people works inside that building only since 8am through 5pm. What can we do? Should we go to the “Arpa” asking them to “measure” the noiae pollution they are producing?
Con Marta, Valeria e Aldo

Marta la conosciamo da quando Lorenzo ha cominciato il secondo anno di nido, piu’ di due anni fa. E ci e’ piaciuta subito. Valeria l’abbiamo conosciuta quest’estate, quando e’ stata una bravissima baby sitter per Bea e Lorenzo. Aldo e’ il bimbo di Valeria, e Valeria e Marta sono sorelle. Li abbiamo avuti stasera a casa nostra, per una pizza in compagnia, e ne e’ uscita davvero una bella serata. Grazie di essere venute, grazie per il dolce, grazie a Aldo per aver giocato con Lorenzo. Insomma, grazie di tutto!!!
We knew Marta when Lorenzo started his second year at the nursery; she was one of his teachers, and we like her immediately. We knew Valeria last summer, when we were looking for a baby sitter for Bea and Lorenzo, and Marta gave us her phone number (and after a while she told us that Valeria was her sister). We met Aldo, Valeria’s son, this evening, when they came at our place to eat a pizza together. And it was a really nice dinner. Thanks for coming!!!

Merenda a casa Chiabrera

They did it again. Michele and Silvia invited us (together with Pesu family) for a “snack” at their place. This is something that periodically happens (see qui e qui), but this time, instead of a canadian snack, they offered us a “genovese” snack. And it was amazing!!! Thanks for both the farinata and the “focaccia di Recco”. And thanks for your kindness and friendship!!!
Il mare d’autunno
November 16, 2015 // Posted in family, Travels | No Comments
Weather is particularly warm and good during this November. So we decided to go to Finale Ligure, to enjoy the sun in a lovely place. We spent a very nice weekend, with Lorenzo and Beatrice very happy at the beach. During winter time it is hard to think that, so close to us, there is the sun, there are colors…..
