Ciao Baby!!

Wow, Italy is coming fast!!  I can't believe there are only 9 days left of school and just 2 1/2 weeks until we leave for Italy.   Mentally going over and over what the children and I might need--clothes, shoes, toiletries, and making up shopping lists on my iPod.  I am currently reading a book about ancient Rome (very ancient) and am very sad that a lot of what I'm reading doesn't exist anymore.
