Sadness

Siamo in Italia da una settimana. Questa e' una visita che non avevamo in programma, ma purtroppo mia zia e' stata molto male ed e' morta lunedi'. Siamo riusciti ancora a vederla e a passare un po' di tempo con lei. Sono contenta che lei abbia potuto rivedere il piccolo Appu, a cui era gia' molto affezionata. Il funerale e' domani e poi saremo in Italia ancora per un paio di settimane.

As I had mentioned previously, we traveled to Italy last week to see my aunt. She died on Monday, but we still got to see her for a few days. I am happy that she could meet again little Appu and see how well he is growing, because she loved him very much. The funeral will be tomorrow and after that we will need to stay in Italy for some more days, maybe a couple of weeks.

La nuova cuginetta e' arrivata!

La bimba di Nandu e Niddhi e' nata oggi a Calicut. Il nome non e' stato ancora scelto, ma le diamo il nostro benvenuto e facciamo le nostre congratulazioni alla mamma, che purtroppo ha dovuto subire un parto cesareo. Auguri a Niddhi e speriamo che possa andare a casa presto con la sua bambina!

Announcement

This will partially explain why I haven't managed to blog much recently. (But no, it's not what you are thinking, not yet...)

In fact most of you already know it, I think, but for those who don't, here it is:

We bought a house!!

It's an old house that needs some work done, so we are spending most of our time selecting the tiles to go with the clawfoot tub and chasing contractors around.

We get the house next week and we will probably move towards the end of June.

Feel free to congratulate us...
