happy weekend!

Hello there, friends!  Do you have any plans for this Easter weekend?  We’ll be celebrating Christ’s resurrection with some friends on Sunday; I’m looking forward to that.

We’ve had a wonderful week here with Elliott’s parents visiting.  We spent Wednesday and Thursday of this week with them on the southern coast of Sicily, and one evening we watched the sunset on the Scala dei Turchi (the Turkish Steps), a massive white rock jutting out into the ocean.  Elliott’s dad took the photo above with his iPhone, but I’ll have more to share (from his camera and mine) next week.

Thank you for all your kind comments on my post about our family’s growing pains.  These past few days have been better with the help of Elliott’s wonderfully supportive parents, and I think Gil also is just… growing up.  He’s slowly starting to sleep longer, sleep more consistently, and sleep in his own bed (!).  He’s also cooing and smiling now, and that makes all the difference in the world.  He can respond!  He likes me!  He loves me?  I love him!  We can do this.

Happy Easter and happy weekend!
