New cast

We went to the orthopedist yesterday. She put a smaller cast on and said the bone is almost healed. This new cast will come off in 3 weeks.

Time to turn off the water

The beach is wide. We emptied the fridge, the mice have already had a party eating the nuts left in the cupboard.

Piano lesson

Laura and baby

on the tram

We went for another piano lesson with Isabella. This time Laura was also with us. She loved going on the Tram and had fun playing with Rachel's oldest and youngest.

Laura had bonded with the baby on Monday's piano lesson. She feels we need to have another baby, Nicky agrees, he would like a baby sister. Chiara on the other hand feels that 3 is enough and so do I. though that baby is so cute!

I love it

As seen on face book.

New old rug and other news

My sister sold her apartment and she had no use for one of the rugs, so I bought it from her and we are selling the rug that was in our living room. Both rugs were originally in my mother’s house. I think it is a great improvement; the other rug though beautiful was way to big for the space. My father is still in the hospital; he is getting a little bit better. Tomorrow my sister is coming over and we will be speaking to one of his doctors. Our plan is still to go to Rome from the 7-15 of November.

Ashwani brought her 16 roses and said they weren't as beautiful as her, which is true.

Nice, Busy Week End

Kamala came for the week end, Noah came home, and so did Hannah, briefly. What we did:
Went to U of R, Hannah's dorm, Meliora week end.
Noah BBQed the delicious steak, sorry to our dear veggie family for what may look a little primitive.
ROS sang Beethoven's 9th with the RPO in the new Kodak Hall for 3 concerts. This was the first look at the renovated Eastman Theater. The acoustics have improved, the hall is smaller, the paintings have been cleaned. It looks and sounds good.
We had our second frost, but first hard frost. (See my flickr site for pictures)

News

Chiara is feeling better. We went to an orthopedist today, She put on a new cast and told us that it's Chiara's scaphoid bone that has a fracture. this might mean she needs to be in a cast for 8-12 more weeks. In other news my dad is going into the hospital tomorrow, nothing serious, he has a few things that need to be looked into and his doctor felt it would be best he went in for a few days so that all the tests necessary could be done at once.

more

Chiara and I did not get back home till 10:00, there was only one orthopedist on call and it was a busy afternoon. Other than our stay in the ER it was a very nice weekend, Chiara had a soccer game on Friday, as it turns out her last for the season, they won 4-0. Rosa’s on Saturday with Su and then hair cuts for all 3 kids at Astor Place Barbers.

More Chiara

Chiara, playing soccer with Nick & Laura, fell and broke her wrist. Sara took her to the ER 4 hours ago, and they are waiting to get the wrist set and cast. Chiara is OK, considering. In other news, Susheila was here for the weekend from D.C., and Junnu (did I spell either name correctly? Sorry) came for lunch.
