Pozzo Etusco


Below ground,


walking through tunnels,


dark and damp


to make a wish in a wishing well

The cucumber stairwell


Arches everywhere


Against a moss-covered wall

When inside, the girls dress up...


...and dance,


practice balancing...


and put together puzzles made from pizza boxes

The piazza with all the statues


Running in Florence


On the train - Florence to Perugia

Along the Arno River in Florence, Italy


Inside the Duomo


Some piazza


Inspired at the Uffizi

Queen of the Kitchen


Rivi's "school" work - life cycle of a frog/toad
and practicing the letters T and D


Pretending to be tigers

Discovery

My poor, poor baby. 103.4 fever and miserable. The doctor confirmed that she has the H1N1 flu, so now it's Tamilflu, Tylenol and constant monitoring for the next few days.

The rest of us had the flu last week, but without the high fever. Still, Ori, Rivi and I happily rolled up our sleeves for the H1N1 vaccination during Kyri's appointment. When the nurse asked who wanted to go first, Rivi hopped off Ori's lap, ran to the appointed chair and said "me, me." She watched the nurse stab her, but didn't even flinch. Said ouch, then went along merrily.

I forbid any other bug from entering my home this year.

Last week was a quiet week at home because Rivi had the flu. This week will be another so Kyri can fight this bug.
