It's going to be a GREAT 2013

Great Photos

We thought we would start 2013 with a NEW look and some great photos (thankfully one member of the team is very tech savvy :) We have just received a lovely selection of great photos taken of Isabella and the clowns last year at the hospital.

Around the same time that this and the new header photo were taken, Isabella and Matilde enjoyed posing for Emily Pinna. Below are a couple from that photo-shoot. Emily, if you don't know, takes great photos in Europe and here in the US see her website for more details: emilypinnaphotography.com

Great news leads to great adventures
Given the great news we received just before Christmas that the tumor is shrinking we are moving full steam ahead with our plans for a great adventure to the Great Wall of China! Yes we are heading to the other side of the world around Easter to see friends in Shanghai and beyond and put the girl's mandarin to the test.  The great travel planner is busy at work...just hope that she can renew her US visa in time (just realised tonight that it expires next month!)

Yesterday's monthly visit to Children's passed quickly, the medication dosage has increased slightly due to slight weight increase, no other reason. Otherwise all remains good, side effects are stable, blood counts good and Isabella is blossoming. So we move forward with another MRI planned for early February. 

Meanwhile we are full of lots of great intentions for the New Year, we hope we can sustain them well into 2013.

Buon anno!

Lots of Love,
Emma, Gregorio, Isabella and Matilde xxx
