Fall is upon us, and we are settled back in Italy.
Long story short, flight went...Luca slept 90% of flight. Mila 10. and insisted on kicking the grumpy man in front of us. so basically I stood the whole flight while Mila sat like a queen and tried picking at Lucas ears and nose. I survived. barely.
Luca starter 1st grade with a bang, and has surprisingly been very happy. he still prefers the weekend, but i think that because he gets to watch a movie on friday night and saturday morning cartoons in bed with us.
The house in Magliano is a mess, gutted and raw, but it will be glorious. Marco is there every spare moment he has and has been working his tail off along with our friend who is also our contractor. A lot of work, but also satisfying to see each day as the puzzle pieces come together. I have been keeping sane with the kids, for the next couple of months it will be tough since Marco is sacrificing basically his life to work and finish our house, and I am a Mamma, surviving and trying to keep our lives together. its tough as hell doing life on our own, thank God my mother in law helps a couple times a week, but I miss having the whole family together. Once the house is done I think we can all breathe again.
I will start posting pictures of, before, during and after pictures. It's an adventure and I am fortunate to call it ours.
