Most of you should have figured out it was an April Fool’s joke. We are NOT having twins, only one baby girl. I sent out an email this morning to my collegues, and everybody believed it and sent back congratulations. At that point I started to feel a little bit bad, but it was still damn funny!!
Sorry also to the people who commented on this blog. Tom’s comment was weird. So at first he thought it was a joke, but he still believed it… eh? Susan seems to have caught on. Anyway, this will be the only twins joke I’ll be able to do. Happy April Fool’s Day!!
Quanti di voi ci hanno cascato? Non stiamo aspettando gemelle, solo una bimba. Stamattina ho spedito una mail ai miei colleghi, e tutti mi hanno mandato congratulazioni. A quel punto mi sono sentito un po’ male, ma era molto divertente!!
Il commento di Tommy e’ molto strano. Prima ha pensato che fosse uno scherzo, pero’ poi ci ha creduto… eh? Buon Pesce d’Aprile!!

We didnt want to announce it yet, but I think it’s time now. We are having twin girls! We are very excited about it but also very scared. Luckily we live in a country where we can afford help. With twins everything in our apartment seems small. And I don’t even want to think of when we go out… We’ll deal with that problem when it comes up. I wonder how Logan will react to his his little sisters.
UPDATE: April Fool’s!!
Non volevamo annunciarlo all’inizio, ma penso che sia il momento di annunciare che avremo due bimbe gemelle!! Ovviamente siamo molto felici, ma allo stesso tempo molto preoccupati. Fortunatamente viviamo in un paese dove possiamo avere facilmente una governante. Con gemelle, il nostro appartamento sembra cosi’ piccolo. E non voglio neanche pensare a quando l’intera famiglia esce di casa… Ci penseremo quando il problema si presenta. Chissa’ Logan come reagira’ alle sue sorelline.

I hope you had a good end of the year, because I sure didn’t. After a very nice family Christmas, I had a terrible end of the year.
On 27th I had to take Becky to the hospital because she vomited all previous night due to food poisoning. She got IV for basically the whole day. After I got back I also took Logan to another hospital, because he had a fever of 40 degrees. Luckily they’re both fine now.
In the meantime I found out that I made a huge mistake at work, and lost some important data. On a scale of 1-5 where 5 is the worst case, this was a 4.
Then this Monday I came to work thinking that I would have a slower day, instead I had the worst working day of my life. My system was down for 6 hours, and I kept running around and stressing about it for the whole day. Then I had come in on New Year’s morning and work a couple more hours.
I really hope the rest of the year will be smoother, hopefully the arrival of my daughter will change things for the better.
Anyway, I wish everyone a Happy 2008!
Spero che abbiate avuto un felice fine d’anno, io non ha avuto molta fortuna. Dopo un bel Natale in famiglia, ho avuto un pessimo fine d’anno.
Il 27 ho dovuto portare Rebecca all’ospedale per l’intera giornata. Rebecca aveva vomitato durante la notte precedente. Quando sono tornato a casa ho dovuto portare Logan dal dottore, visto che aveva la febbre a 40. Fortunatemente stanno entrambi bene adesso.
Nel frattempo ho fatto un errore al lavoro ed ho perso dei dati importanti. Questo e’ il mio errore piu’ grosso da quando ho cominciato qui.
Lunedi’ sono venuto in ufficio pensando di avere una giornata leggera, invece e’ stato il giorno peggiore della mia carriera. Il mio system e’ stato indisponibile per 6 ore, durante le quali tutti i miei colleghi non potevano lavorare.
Ed infine ho dovuto lavorare un paio di ore anche a Capodanno.
Spero proprio che il resto del 2008 sara’ piu’ facile, magari con la nascita di mia figlia le cose andranno meglio.
Intanto auguro a tutti un Felice 2008!!

This was our first family Christmas and it was real fun. Last year Logan was too young, but this time we had the tree and decorations, we had a nice catered dinner (I had so much to eat!) and then we opened presents. Mostly we watched Logan open his presents, he was obviously at the center of the attention. Here are some photos:
Questo e’ stato il primo Natale in famiglia. L’anno scorso Logan era troppo piccolo, quindi non abbiamo festeggiato. Questa volta invece abbiamo albero e decorazioni, cena abbondante con famiglia, ed infine i regali. Soprattutto i regali per Logan, ci siamo seduti in un circolo a guardare Logan aprire i suoi regali. Ecco alcune foto:
I hope you all had a nice Christmas too, Happy Holidays!!
Spero che anche voi abbiate avuto un felice Natale. Tanti auguri a tutti!!
