A Presto Nonni!
The dreaded moment has arrived: Grandma Margherita and Grandpa Armando had to leave to go back to their life in Italy. They left on Saturday, and are already missed dearly by all of us. We are so grateful for all their help, wisdom, love and care. Their parenting experience really helped enormously. We appreciated their patience and their willingness to share without imposing and to respect pour choices even if they were sometimes different from theirs. They also gave us the gift of time, a scarce comodity among new parents: they kept Keegan to give us a few hours to get things done (or simply nap), sometimes they stayed the night to allows us to get a few uninterrupted hours of sleep, and allowed us to go out on dates, and to celebrate New Year’s Eve, Tizi’s birthday and Valentine’s day, beside the weekly weekend dinners. Last, but not least, we were able to feast on delicious, homemade Italian food everyday. Matt was happy to finally take a little break from the kitchen, as Tiziana, despite being Italian, can’t cook…

Tizi especially had the chance to enjoy their company, and their moral (and not) support, which was essential, particularly during the first few weeks. Keegan also enjoyed their undivided attention: he will miss the sweet melody of 60’s italian music from Grandma that was lulling him to sleep and all the games Grandpa was creating just for him.
Thank you for leaving all behind to spend two wonderful months with us. All the great memories will keep us company during the future months until we meet again. We can’t wait to see you again and we miss you so much.
