Homecoming

Daniele and Aria, Ponte Vecchio Firenze Feb. 2008

I'm so excited. Aria and Daniele are coming home to visit us today. I'll be leaving at mid-day to pick them up at the airport in Los Angeles. They are staying with us for three weeks. I can hardly wait to see them. The partying starts "today"! Yippee!

"Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. " ~Frederick W. Robertson

"Welcome home Aria and Daniele!"
