    You have a beautiful daughter, who is sweet and very photogenic. I have observed your interactions with your daughter and you are fantastic parents. I’m an 81 year-old male retired child clinical psychologist. Seeing parents who enjoy their children and whose children are thriving is a pleasure. It is great that you have time, and also enjoy the time that you have. I am aware there are health issues that you face and I wish you much luck in your dealing with them. The great thing is you have prioritized enjoying your life. Congratulations.

    Congratulations! Never stop looking at one another like you did after making the bed, and setting up the kitchen table. Right before you hugged and kissed. Life is an “adventure” and maintaining one’s connection with our wife, and husband, requires accepting what we can’t control, and rolling with the punches, while maintaining a sense of humor. Most importantly, in trusting each other while always putting the child/children’s safety, learning, and happiness first. My wife, Paula, and I, and our little Sarah Ann, were just like you three when we first started out. In April, we will celebrate our 31 year anniversary and … plan to take a trip to Italy! Los Quiero mucho! Raphael

    Nurse here. How to put on a pillow case. Run your finger along one of the seams on the side, when you get to the end grab a hold in the middle of the seam on the closed side of the pillow case, use that same spot to grab a pillow. Make sure to grab the pillow in the middle with the same hand you are holding the pillow case. Now align the corner and pull the case over the pillow. Takes a few times to learn it. That is how a nurse takes only a few seconds to change one. Good luck with it. Much love and hope you enjoy your new home. ❤️

Our pillows are in quilted protectors which makes changing the pillow cases a bit of a wrestling match until I worked out this system.

    Ok guys, I have now watched all of the videos in this playlist and I wanted to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. They are well filmed, edited and they are always entertaining and never boring. My husband said to me 'what are you watching that makes you smile so much? And I told him it was because of your sweet little girl who is just pure JOY. Watching her walk and talk and her gentleness with the cats is a balm on the heart. You are raising her so perfectly, always with patience and including her in all that you do. This child is so fortunate to have such truly loving parents. So, all of that said, I look forward to watching the next episode of your journey. Good health and happiness to your little family.

    I have developed a behaviour pattern with your videos:
    The moment you start the goodbye section, I bring the phone close to my face and look over the top of my glasses to properly enjoy the newest clips of Luce being the happiest and sweetest child around.
    Do I have progressive glasses that enable closer views at the bottom? Yes, I do! Do I always think of my aunt looking up over her glasses and smile to myself? Yes, I do! Do I feel embarrassed by this hallmark of aging? Not in the slightest! Another day older is another day wiser, more loving, and more loved! I bear my scars and grey hair proudly, they prove that I have survived challenges and have valuable insights!
    Thank you for the weekly supply of sunshine, even when it rains into your walls! The sun ☀️ is inside the three of you!

    I think only a couple of small leaks in a 1000 year old roof is pretty lucky. It could be much worse.
    The house in San Francisco I grew up in was built just after the 1906 earthquake. There was one spot in the roof rhat had been repaired several times but kept leaking. What we did was get a big metal wash basin. We put that in the attic on top of ceiling beams, under the leak. It was big enough that it never overflowed and in the hot attic, the water evaporated quickly so it never needed emptying. That kept water from dripping through the ceiling. Strangely enough, that was in the kitchen, too.
    Old houses all have their little problems. That's what gives them character. Good luck.

      I saw a free DNA study a long time ago at the University we went to, Penn State. The study was more intense than a cheek swab, lots of tubes of spit, hair sample, etc. No surprises because I knew I would be at least 50% Scot, and then German from Dad. But the best part was traits, which told me I had near perfect DNA, no known cancer traits, no Alzheimers, and a lot more. It zeroed in on my skin(fair, freckled), eye color, bone size/height. MOST important: I had all 13 DNA markers for extreme motion sickness, morning sickness, etc. Fast forward to 10 years later, I had uterine cancer and a full hysterectomy. 3 months later, breast cancer. they found 2 tumors, needing 2 separate surgeries. I have zero family history and zero genetic signs for cancer, period. It was all from our environment ( I never smoked). One of the 4 top DNA research centers is 15 minutes away and my surgeons sent me for full DNA tests.... which revealed PRECISELY what my earlier tests did. It allowed me to avoid Chemo.

      People have been putting glyphosates on their lawns here in America for years ....just to have "pretty" grass .... & it affects children and animals the most who are the most likely to run barefoot. Also the chemicals in the city water & in all the plastics we use. Then recently I read that even Cherios & Quaker oats (normally considered 'healthy' food) have endocrine disrupter-chemicals in them that affect children especially & their future FERTILITY!!! All the plastic garbage (think plastic bottles from the time of infancy) causes little boys to ingest too many estrogen-mimicking chemicals which prevent those little boys from developing mature masculine traits trapping them in an 'eternal undeveloped boyhood'!!! Mercury in the fish & lead in the paint of old houses!! ....the toxin list seems endless!!! @@suewilson1801

    Hotel maid pillow technique:
    Lay pillow flat. Press arm (elbow to fingers) upon length of pillow along middle to crease pillow. Then fold pillow in-half along the crease. Then slide pillow into pillow case. Unfold pillow, side-to-side. Fluff it.

    I'm so sorry to hear what happened with the walls and ceiling. I really hope that they can be fixed soon, along with your new vacuum. Hopefully, with Spring on it's way there, the rain will be less of an issue?
    Sending you tons of love, as always. 🌸🌼💗

      ...they need to find the SOURCE of the leaks ...otherwise, they will continue to plague them the next time it rains. And leaks cause weakness in the structure, mold, and decay.

    I saw some crazy trolls on here complaining about your title. I guess those sick, evil, jealous people are disappointed that you didn’t have worse problems. They don’t love you so they need to get lost, go back to their miserable lives of negativity.

    Maybe if you're lucky. The neighbors water issues can be quickly patched. Then the kitchen ceiling and walls can dry and be repainted. Since it was quickly found, it doesn't require new lime plaster because it's breathable. Just needs repainting. Fingers crossed, it can be that simple.

    My daughter and her partner also moved into their house today! They had been renting and saving for ten years. They eventually qualified for a loan to buy a secondhand house in the outskirts of Co. Dublin Ireland. There are some problems with the house but they will get these things fixed over the next year. There is a kitchen, thankfully but like you they will have to buy furniture. It's the start of a new chapter for them as it is for you. I wish the three of you a healthy and happy future. Your little daughter is such a treasure. I find myself smiling and happy when I see her and it's wonderful to see how she is already an animal lover. Sending big hugs and kisses from Noreen in Ireland!

    Those stores are good for lighting as well as furniture. Still you have the wiring to do before chandeliers and wall lights . So sorry about the leaks , still that's old houses. Kay

    > EASIEST PILLOWCASE TRICK <
    - Turn the pillowcase inside out
    - Place hands inside the pillowcase in each of the corners
    - Grab the ends of the pillow with the two corners your hands are in
    - Roll the pillowcase down the pillow so now it is inside right

    You are putting those pillow cases on the hardest way possible. Gather up the pillow case like you would a stocking. Then put the case on the end of the pillow when it’s lying down and just pull up. Easy peasy! I hope that helps.

    Open your pillowcase and scrunch it down to the bottom, fold the end of your pillow in half and put into the bottom of the pillowcase and pull the pillowcase up while holding the folded pillow until the pillowcase is over halfway up. This will make more sense when you try it.

    For 1000 years the neighbors have been dealing with these small issues and the house is still in good shape, I hope the neighbor realizes it is beneficial for all to repair the leak, even though they are in Rome, perhaps they don't feel this issue is a priority, but strong fences build good neighbor's, the LeAw family is happy/content and not sweating over the small potatoes, So ciao Luca, Sara and Luce until next week.

Luce makes everything better by just being there doesn’t she🤗. I love how you dress her, she always looks so adorable and she is! She could look just as cute in a burlap bag! Ahh to be young and adorable again!! I always look so forward to these Sunday visits, and, by the way, I LOVE the cream colored furniture you bought for the kitchen! BRAVO! 👍👍🤗🙏🙏
