End of week three...wow almost a month!!

Well I can't believe it, Im going on week four now! Time is going by very fast, but Im having a great time, finally adjusting and I dreamed for the first time last night (I think this means Im comfortable at last.)!
Well this week was much better because it was back to the regular time table, and Tracy our cook was back (prais the lord!) she makes amazing food:)
Also on monday I had Bakery as usual, but this time Oliver actually got his hands dirty (this never happens! he is a very unmotivated child but so sweet and cute!)I even managed to snap a picture!
I also had a very relaxing day off, just did a bit of shopping (they have fantastic second had shops!), and Wednesday night I want to the pub with Daniel, Antone, and Phillip to watch the Chealse Vrs Velencia Football match! The was great fun because I finally got to chat with just the boys, and it was better then I expected...they are very nice, and always ask silly questions...they keep me laughing!
Then last night I went out with the girls I met last Saturday, and met even more people...Im so happy because I'm also making friends outside of the school...and who speak good English!
The girls I met were really nice and were so obssessed with the fact that Im American, they kept telling me how much they love it, and they also loved my accent...hahha they asked me to say things like Harvard, Kindergarden, and trash can...it was very amusing!
well today I'm going to make lunch with Sabina and then an apple pie (sorry Kali) with apples from the garden!
Then tonight were going to a pub in town to see a jazz band play! So today is going nicley and Im well rested so that does help!
I got to run,
I miss you all very much, and mom, noah and mason I will call you tonight!
Cheers,
Ilaria
P.S. New pictures tomorrow:)

Hey there girly!!
I love reading your blog. This is definitely an experience for life and I'm so happy that YOU are the one to experience it.
I had a reeeally hard working day yesterday. By the end of the day we had tripled our income of what we usually have on a normal day. But now I have a week off to do whatever I want. (meeh, kinda, I have to work) BUt that's money, right?:) Do you know when you are able to come during christmas? I'm so excited!!
Well, g2g. Gonna see a gymnastic tournament... Loves! CC

Hi Ilaria,

I'm sorry I missed you this weekend, I was in Portland taking the OWL training. I learned a lot about sex! But I'm so tired.

Love your blog. I look forward to it so much. I love hearing about all the things you are doing. It sounds like so much fun. I'm jealous!

I love you. try to call me on my cell this week when I am at work. The best time is about noon our time.

Love you,
Mom

I'm really excited that we might come see you! My mom said she sent you an email, i don't know if you got it. If we do come you'll have to make us one of those apple pies with the garden apples, or not, you probably wont want to so thats o.k. too!
Love you hope to see you in December.
P.S. i think mason has grown, Noah definitely has

Hi Ilaria.
Well everyone seems to be enjoying your blog. It is a great way to communicate with all of us. I hope you get some time to read if you want. Give me a call some time so we can talk about coming to visit. Much love and I hope you got your package with all your goodies!!

Hi Ilaria--this is Mason.

I liked reading your blog about Michaelmas. Ours was really boring. We didn't do all the things we normally do.

Right now I am making my wooden spoon in wood work. I am holding yours right now as mom types for me. Reiko and Noah are doing his math homework. She is a big help to both of us.

Reiko is making us 1000 cranes. It's pretty cool. When you come home you can see it.

Mom and I are trying really hard to come to see you during spring break. It will be your birthday then, and close to mine, so we can celebrate them together. Cross your fingers that we can come. I'm going to sell my gold coin and add my allowance so I can come.

I hope you like your care package. I helped mom pack it for you and I made you something for your wall. I went with mom to buy your shoes. I picked out a few treats for you as well--I hope you like them.

Soccer is going good, but we lost all of our games so far. It's still fun though. Cross country is good and I got some orthotics to help with my leg and foot pain.

School is good. Our main lesson right now is business math. I'm pretty good at it. It's fun. In art class I made clay coins (currency). I'm playing the trumpet now and I like it alot better than the viola. Our new Spanish teacher sucks, as does the Eurithmy teacher. Hirata Sensei is good this year and I like Japanese again. I had my first test, I did pretty bad, but I passed. Reiko helped me study.

We're going to Haunted Trails on Saturday. I'm going with my class and Mom is taking Noah, Reiko and Anh. I wish you could go with us.

Well it's time for Heros, so I have to brush my teeth and get ready for bed.

I love you Yaya.

Your Boo--Mason

Dear Ilaria,

What a girl! Your communications and photos are so fine! I love seeing the pictures and reading your input just to imagine what your life is like these days. The scenery is lovely. Is it cold? We have had several gray/lighter days with bitws of rain here and there. The colors are beautiful!

Yesterday I came across a receipt from LABELS and could not think of what labels I would have bought. You have guessed it! It was one of the stores we visitd in buyiung some of your clothes. Did you take the propoer clothes with you? Are you warm enough? I hope so cause being cold in not OK!

Grandma Carol and I have had some good times visiting lately. We have had tea and shared news of family and community.

It is early in the morning, Grandpa Fred is still sleeping but I woke up at 4:30 and could not go back to sleep. It gives me a good chance to get some notes sent - like this one.

Take care and remember that you are dearly loved.

Grandma Nancy
