Cycle 5 completed this morning. We had some anxiety and drama with accessing the port but St Debby came to the rescue. The lovely nurse who missed with the first attempt (we are talking about a rather large needle that has to go through the skin on her chest and into the small port) felt terrible. Once accessed and calm, Isabella says "don't worry, you were very close!"
The clowns were there to brighten our morning. Matilde's face was a picture of total disbelief as one of the clowns pulled the missing red scarf from nonna's sleeve. Matilde gave nonna an enormous hug and she is now forever 'la nonna magica!' Even wise Isabella was a little perplexed by the trick.
Well we are packed and ready to head north to the cool open space of Canada. The weather has been oppressively hot in DC this past week. We have whittled down the bags of toys and hopefully there aren't too many superfluous dresses in the bag.
The final test, before leaving, was a blocked kitchen sink this afternoon. Thankfully our dear contractors were working opposite and fixed the problem very quickly....I don't think I shall tell Gregorio till we are safely on the road tomorrow morning! That's assuming he manages to leave the office tonight. All the usual drama prior to going on a holiday.
We'll be back at the end of August, just in time to start school. Cycle six begins on September 3rd, so more updates then.
Enjoy the rest of the summer,
Emma and Gregorio. xxx
PS Happy Birthday Caroline!
