Winter is finally here. On Sunday morning to woke up to 9 inches of snow and what a beautiful sight! I love the snow, maybe because makes everything look peaceful and serene, or maybe because to me the snow always meant the Christmas season and family gatherings.
L'inverno e` finalmente arrivato. Domenica mattina ci siamo svegliati e abbiamo trovato 23 centimetri di neve e che meraviglia! Amo la neve, forse perche` rende tutto piu` tranquillo e sereno, o forse perche` ho sempre associato la neve con la stagione natalizia e riunioni di famiglia.
We shoveled snow for a couple of hours and Jacomo played and "helped" clear the driveway. It was cool to see all the neighbors outside working side by side, helping each other and chatting away. I felt like I was in a movie.
Jacomo loves the snow and we are looking forward to take him snowmobiling and sledding, I think this year it would be more fun for him, as he gets older he can take part of our winter activities.
Abbiamo spalato la neve per un paio d'ore e Jacomo di e` divertito a giocare e ha pure "aiutato" a pulire davanti al garage. E` stato fico vedere i vicini tutti intorno a noi che spalavano, si aiutavano l'un con l'altro e chiacchieravano. Mi sembrava di essere in un film.
A Jacomo piace molto la neve e non vediamo l'ora di portarlo sulle motoslitte e sullo slittino, penso che quest'anno sara` piu` divertente per lui, con il diventare piu` grande puo` prendere parte alle nostre attivita` invernali.
Our Vittoria loved snow also. She would have been outside for hours in the cold if she could have, loved snowmobiling with her dad and sledding, or just exploring around with her cousins.
Anche la nostra Vittoria amava la neve. Sarebbe rimasta fuori al freddo per ore se solo le fosse stato concesso, amava andare sulla motoslitta e sullo slittino e esplorare i dintorni della baita con le cugine.

We are so touched by the generosity you as well as the community around us has shown. Each year this project seems to grow and we are able to touch the lives of more and more children that are in need of our help. A special thank you to Angie Parkin for once again leading us in this effort. PJ's Forgotten Children Foundation is a beautiful organization that has proven over and over again to make efforts above and beyond ensuring every donation received is given a very individualized, specific and special touch when gifted to the children it helps.
