Moms trip to Nove

    In August, Aaron and I went to Nove and ordered a wedding gift for a friend. Because in August most Italians go on vacation, a lot of places are closed. Well this store was open, however, they weren't going to be able to complete my order until the beginning of September when the rest of the employees got back from their holiday. I told my friend Laura that I needed to make a trip back to Nove, so we decided to go today. We didn't want to take the babies because there was way too many things for them to break, plus it would be fun for just us moms to go! That meant Connor was going to have to go to daycare... for the first time in his life. {A couple weeks ago I signed him up for hourly care, which means he will not be going full time, but I can pay by the hour if I need to run errands or have him go for a few hours here and there.} I was nervous, but excited for him to play with new kids and make friends. We packed his new little backpack and did a little photo shoot before leaving the house. How cute does he look?!?

First Trip To Nove

  **I say this is my first time because I see many visits to Nove in the three years we are supposed to be here.**

    Nove is a small town in northern Italy that is famous for its many ceramic shops. I had heard about it from a friend before we even moved to Italy, so when I found out it was less than 20 miles from our house, I was pretty excited! One of my girlfriends wanted to make a trip out there today, so I told her I wanted to tag along. We made sure to leave by 10 in the morning so our shopping didn't interfere with reposo (the afternoon break that most stores close for in Italy).
