the first half of mother’s day was spent brunching al fresco at palma ceia where michael’s sister and brother-in-law are members. it was just a group of five: michael and me, micahel’s sister (melissa), her baby (madison), and michael’s grandmother (doris).
everyone else was out of town, so we took it upon ourselves to eat their brunch for them. 🙂
madison + her bff… cheerios.
“gimmie that camera”
by the way… have i told you that madison is walking now? she is. and lots. and no hand-holding necessary.
and lastly, maddie with her mother and great-grandmother!

My husband and I will be sniaytg just outside Cortona Sept. 7-12. We have reservations on Friday evening at ll Falconiere. We’ve not been there, but it comes highly recommended by our children. It’s a short drive from Cortona and a bit of a challenge to find so get good directions if you decide to go ( make reservations). Surrounding property is beautiful Tuscan garden and cypress trees and a horse chestnut avenue. They tell us it’s marvelous cuisine accompanied by great wines. What’s not ot like! We have a car and plan to leasurely poke around the Tuscan towns for the week. Perhaps we’ll see you around the fountain in Cortona.
