Drinking a Timmy's in Canada!

I had my first Timmy's coffee during my 3rd week here and now I'm trying to catch up by having one a day. Gotta love that Timmy's coffee. ;-)

It really has been busy with friends and family dropping by almost on a daily basis. I have managed to squeeze in a few visits and some shopping, but all were done in haste. It isn't easy to just get up and go with kids anymore. I usually need to find a babysitter (Thanks, Jen!) or I just take the kids along, but then I find myself rushing and forgetting something that is even on my shopping list! I can't really call this a vacation, though. I just slipped back into my old life style with the addition of two small kids.  

So many good things have happened during our stay here: a friend just gave birth to a baby girl; my cousin from Toronto came to visit for a few days and met her nephews; my youngest learned to walk with confidence and my oldest has picked up lots of Italian and English words. However, the most important thing that happened is the joy my two little ones brought to my parents. The nonni (grandparents) are very happy to have them around. It is always a "Kodak moment" around here. :-)

In a few days, we'll be heading back home. We have had so much fun hanging out with family and seeing old friends. Unfortunately, we weren't able to squeeze everyone in, though. One month sure isn't enough time. I would have stayed longer but the hubby doesn't want to be away from the kids for too long (I can't blame him).

I am looking forward to going back home. Home is where the heart is. I'll give an update on how my trip to Italy went once I'm back. I hope everyone is having a great summer! I'll see y'all when I get back.

Much love from the Great White North!
