Birthday Boy

As you can probably tell by these recent blog entries, May tends to be a month of celebrating. Before you begin to think that the festivities have ended, fear not...today they begin again! It's Antonello's birthday, which normally results in a relaxing evening in, but today is just the opposite. Antonello and I spent this morning at the Questura renewing my permit to stay, and tonight will be spent at a big work-related pizza dinner, since my boss just happens to celebrate his birthday today too.

So the cake has been postponed for tomorrow, for family coming over, for an evening at home. But I'm not letting today, the true birthday, pass by without wishing Antonello tanti auguri! Ti amo, amore mio!

Happy Birthday to you!

I love you, Mom!

Happy Mother's Day to my mother (and all mothers) on this day, la Festa della Mamma!

Mom, I miss you and wish I could share this special day with you there in America, but I hope you know that I'm thinking about you even from across the ocean, and wishing you a wonderful day. You are more than just a great mother, you are a great friend. I love you!

Happy Mother's Day from Antonello and me.
