the weather here is still rainy and cold so i’m in a lack of ideas of what to do with my girls… luckily zoe tiare loves animals and i have a cute little zoopark near where we live Parco Faunistico Cappeller. we have been there last year for the first time but maybe zoe was too little to be interested in animals. this time she was all “mom look that!” and “what’s that?” she was super happy to see monkeys, parrots and cangaroos! alma was attracted just by their movements (what do i expect from a one-year-old?!) but she will enjoy more this park next time! because we’ll surely come back!

“a portrait of my daughters, once a week, every week, in 2014”
Zoe Tiare & Alma Aiko: playing together… it’s a joy seeing you two interacting, and playing, and, yes, sometimes fighting… i dream about you girls, as teens, going out together, talking about boys, sharing make up…
Zoe Tiare & Alma Aiko: giocando insieme… è una gioia vedervi interagire, giocare, e sì, a volte litigare… vi immagino adolescenti, mentre uscite insieme, parlate di ragazzi, condividete il trucco…

WEDNESDAY around the WORLD: il LIDO di VENEZIA
i have been to venice many times (it’s a short road – one hour by train) and if you ask me “do you know venice?” my answer will probably be “yes”. but the truth is that there are still a lot of places in venice that i haven’t seen! the lido was one of them until last sunday! i didn’t know what to expect but i found beaches, a beautiful sea, charming bridges and hidden architectures. plus there are not so many bridges here so it’s easier to move around with a stroller!
we rented a risciò and took a ride around the vaporetto stop… the famous excelsior hotel, everything is getting ready for the worldwide famous festival del cinema, hidden angles…
la prossima volta voglio vedere un altra parte dell’isola: malamocco e la spiaggia degli alberoni.

PLAYING in the RAIN.
it’s raining.every.single.day. we’re sick about this weather! it supposed to be summer and it’s cold, grey and .. rainy!! the other day the temperature was not so bad and the girls wanted so much going outside that we couldn’t say “no”. even if it was raining. it has been great! they loved spashing and playing with wet grass! no need to say that when we came back inside the house they were all wet, dirty but with the biggest smile!
piove.ogni.singolo.giorno. siamo veramente stanchi di questo tempo! dovrebbe essere estate invece fa freddo, è tutto grigio e piovoso! l’altro giorno la temperatura non era così male e le bambine volevano così tanto uscire che non abbiamo potuto dire di no. anche se stava piovendo. è stato fantastico! adorano sguazzare e giocare con l’erba bagnata! non c’è bisogno di dire che quando siamo rientrati in casa erano tutte bagnate, sporche ma con un grandissimo sorriso!

WEDNESDAY around the WORLD: HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALMA!
last saturday Alma Aiko turned one! her birthday party was all about “somewhere over the rainbow” which is “our song”: i used to listened to that song during the pregnancy and i sang it to her when she was a newborn… luckily the day was sunny and Alma had a lot of fun! as you can see i was busier talking to friends and enjoying the party instead of taking pictures. and i’m happy about it!
