Italy House: Living Room

    The living room is the first room you see when you walk in through the front door. We usually use the kitchen door, but this room is my favorite. Partly because it has my first big purchase from here: an antique Persian rug, which I am in love with! Thankfully everything we already had matched it. I really like how bright the room is when the shutters are open, yet we can make it pitch black if we close them. Since we have a one year old, we have to have an area for him to play down here. We put a small table for him in one corner, and a cube shelf unit in the other.

Playground Fun

    Some days it's nice to change things up a bit. Instead of running around and keeping Connor in his stroller the entire time, we made stop at the playground. He was actually sleeping when we got there, but I woke him up and as soon as he saw the swings he started smiling. 

Searching For Euros

   Connor and I got some much needed time out of the house today, but not until we both took a nice, long nap this morning. We had a rough night. And by rough, I mean Connor kept me up what seemed like ALL NIGHT! I ask myself all the time if he is ever going to sleep straight through the night. Then I think surely he will... one day. Anyways, after we woke up from our nap I got dressed. Connor sat in the bathroom, eating his raisins while I did my hair and makeup. That never happens! 

Enjoying the nice breeze while eating his raisins.

Lazy Days

    The last few days have been lazy. Well, except for Friday when we went over to a friends house. Connor had so much fun playing with Noah. They played outside on his slide and in his pool.

What A Day

    My day started at 3:15 am {15 minutes before my alarm clock was supposed to go off}. I can't think of the last time I had to set my alarm clock that early! I didn't want to get out of bed, but there was no point trying to go back to sleep for 15 minutes. I had to pickup my friend at 4:30 and take her to the airport. It was my first time driving on the Autostrada {a major highway where cars drive really fast and you have to pay tolls}, but it went really smooth. There weren't many cars on the road since it was so early, so I think that helped. Connor slept most of the 1.5 hour drive there and woke up right before we got to the passenger terminal. We had donuts and pigs-in-a-blanket in the car while we waited with my friend to make sure she got on the flight.
