Buona Pasqua

4-11-2009

Today is Saturday and tomorrow is Easter. It was a fantastic day in Bibbiano. I spent the morning outside with the babies as usual. The fresh air and the quiet slumber in Bibbiano have helped me to recover from my awful cold. I feel fresh and full of energy. The weather has been absolutely beautiful. It is very warm in the sun, but there is a cool breeze and the shade is a nice refuge if you get too hot. We played soccer and monkey in the middle and walked with nonna to collect fresh eggs from the chicken coop.

Then Camilla and Federico hid chocolate and painted eggs all over the yard and the babies had their Easter egg hunt. Ludovica found all the eggs. Anna found a few. Pietro didn't know what to think and he just wanted to eat chocolate. He's not suppose to have any chocolate, doctor's orders. What an awful time to try to keep chocolate away from a baby? After the egg hunt we all ate a huge Easter pranza (lunch) of chicken, rabbit and potatoes.

Camila told me that tomorrow we will go to the beach for Easter. She asked me if I would like to com along or go back to Rome. I could tell that she would rather I come, so I said I would join them, but I am really ready for some time to myself.
