I pulled my computer into bed with me tonight since I was on my own with the two kiddos and don't you know, I just realized that I posted the same silly picture of my littles twice! Goodness. If that doesn't tell you where my brain is at, I don't know what will!
We've been busy, and it doesn't look like we will be slowing down any time soon. I have signed Bella up for preschool (pretty sure I already told you that). She will start in one week!!! We met her teachers this week, and they seem great. Kind and present. Exactly what I was hoping for. We will see how it goes when it is time for me to leave her there alone. The good news is that they are supportive of gentle transitions and if she needs me to stay in the room, I will do just that. Until she is ready for me to walk out the door, I have no intention of doing so.
Before that though, we are going to take a little family trip down to Disneyland. I'm really hoping it is a good week. Time to reconnect as a family, special moments for all four of us. Gio is so involved in the world now I know he is going to go nuts with some of the rides and characters. Bella loves all things Disney of course and has recently been able to actually ride the roller coasters and other crazy rides, so is excited to do some more. I am also hoping to rekindle some love between Nick and I since it is of course the place he proposed. We all just need a little more loves these days.
These past few weeks have kept us busy too. We had solar panels installed (at the same time the city was resurfacing our street!), which also included a new electric panel for our house. We are down to the final step which is PG&E putting in a new meter that will interconnect our system with theirs. Then- we go live! Very excited to see how our system does.
We also enjoyed a visit from our wedding photographer, Ron Miller, who indulged us with a family photo shoot! I promise to share some of the (surely amazing) results once I see them. He's a busy busy man with loads of weddings and a family of his own, so I am waiting (not so) patiently. =)
On top of all of this, our house was wiped out by the plague. I was personally sick for a solid week, couldn't even get out of bed for three straight days! The kids have followed with their own version. I ended up having to take my sweet boy to the pediatrician because I was so worried about this horrible cough he has. Turned out the congestion wasn't in his lungs, but he did have a really terrible ear infection. So the poor guy has been on antibiotics for over a week now! Nearly done. They both sadly still have this cough. I'm at my wits end- I just have no idea what to do for my poor kiddos. The vicks and homeopathic cough syrup (plus benedryl for Bella) is just not cutting it.
So there you have it. Our crazy, messy life. La Bella Vita!
