This morning, Nico woke us up in the living room (on our air mattress) by saying “Paulie so punny (funny)! Paulie say woooaah! And Paulie push Nico and Nico push Paulie!!!” He is talking so much now, we can’t believe it!!!

So we have arrived in Kansas. After a few weeks of visiting family and hotel stays, we are finally in our new, empty house. The plane ride back to the states was SO long. For a while we were getting nervous about the trip back to Italy, then we remembered we weren’t going back. That was a sad moment.

We had a great time with family in Michigan and Ohio. Nico and Paul LOVED playing with cousins, Nico still talks about it. And Nico had a blast playing in his bedroom at Gee’s house. It was filled with teddy bears! He brought them all downstairs, one at a time, to watch movies and eat at the table. Paul was more interested in the cuckoo clock and other musical devices Gee and Pop have around their house. He LOVES to dance!

The two day drive down to Kansas wasn’t too bad with the help of Aunt Jessica. She is staying with us and helping us get settled here. Then, she is off to join the Army, we are so excited for her!

We love our new house! It’s on post, which is a HUGE relief to Kate, because now she won’t have home repairs to take care of when John is not around. We also have neighbors with small children, so we are hoping Nico and Paul will have some playmates. They are having a tough time transitioning and leaving their friends from Italy. Nico always says “I want my priends!” Now the struggle we are having, is trying to live without furniture for one more week!
Here are some pics of the house and those crazy boys!
