Blink of an Eye

Happy November...we are eight days into it already which means Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and Christmas decorations are almost appropriate! :)

My parents were here visiting last week and their visit seriously went by in a blink of an eye!  It was so much fun having them here, and we enjoyed every minute of just being together.  They brought perfect weather with them, it was sunny and about 75 everyday.  We went to Rome one of their days here and enjoyed a leisure sightseeing time of the Coliseum and a wonderful outdoor cafe lunch. The rest of the their time we explored the area close to our house and found ourselves a favorite Cappuccino place on the top of Frosinone.  We went there everyday and the baristas made us these really fancy cappuccinos that were so good (it basically was like dessert), and we got so excited and were so complimentary, that they ended up making us those every time we showed up! :)  We have a lot of fun pictures because the views and fall colors were awesome!

My wonderful Mom and Dad...love you guys! 

It was so fun to have them here, and we feel so blessed that our parents are able to come over and visit us here!

And the GREAT news of the week is that Veroli WON!!  WHOO HOO!  Finally they won a game at home in front of their fans! It was so awesome to watch them win at home!  The new point guard didn't play because he didn't get registered in time, so Tony started again and played well!!  Everyone is so happy and looking forward to many more wins to come.  :)  This week they will head to Casale on the road to try and make it two in a row!

I finally captured Tony pointing at me after he runs out...so sweet :)

OK I just have to share a picture of my niece Gwenny, and nephew Brody and Blake (my cousin Lisa's son)....they were the cutest little trick-or-treaters on the block!!

Brody, Blake, and Gwenny (or should I say: Chief Brody, Sharky, and Aurora) :)

It's going to be a little lonely with out my parents here this week, but it is back to normal with basketball and Mini basket! At least I have some pictures Gwenny drew for us, a paper turkey, my brother's calendar, my new lip glosses, a new camera, a fall candle, and Reeses peanut butter cups to keep me company until Tony's family arrives :)  Thank you to my parents, sisters and brother for sending me a little pieces of home! Love you guys!

The new countdown is on:  Mimi and Joe arrive in 12 days!!! :)
