thoughts on Venice

Venice, she’s relic, loved passionately, admired for all her beauty,taken

advantage of, mistreated, deep in-depth, full of secrets, helpless, relentless, breathtakingly beautiful, fierce yet ravishing, seductive in nature and history, provocative, hidden, devastatingly captivating and deeply mysterious in all her ways..  how could you not fall madly, deeply in love with her.

there is quite a gap between our two-year old and his older siblings. i must admit it’s taken a little adjusting to get myself back into toddler mode.  we are beginning to introduce some forms of structured play to our boo.  i had forgotten how much fun play dough actually is… my older children would never admit it  but they too enjoy a good round of play dough
