Genetic influence: Hailey is very much like her Uncle Zach, and apparently Grandpa Jeff and Aunt Joyce to a lesser degree. All had very "sensitive" noses as children, and Hailey is demonstrating the same. So, if she smells the eggs at the grocery store, which are not refrigerated, she instantly starts gagging. She refuses to walk down most rows at the grocery store now. While we are tremendously sympathetic, we think she may be imagining many smells as being worse than they are. For example, she now can't stand the aroma of peanut butter, and runs out of the room. But she was eating it just fine a few weeks ago.
At dinner the other night, she was very upset about the smell of fish in the ristorante. We finally had to convince her to hold a lemon up to her nose, so that she could keep functioning. Poor thing!
Since she doesn't have a mixer, Jess bought a can of whipping cream. Next best thing. She made pancakes and the girls had a blast. Ellie looks magnificent, I'm sure you agree. What a cute little lady!
At my office on Thursday, there arose a commotion out on the main street. A massive yacht was being moved down the street, towards the harbor. I knew that they build yachts about twenty minutes south of here, in Viareggio, but I didn't know that Carrara also has a shop or two. This beast was probably a hundred feet long. We wondered whether or not it would fit under the overpass!
We have three little scraggly plants on our deck- our herb garden. The basil is simply not going to make it, but the rosemary and mint are saving us money each week. The doll featured in the mint plant can't find her clothes. The girls gave all the little dolls a bath this week, and most of the clothes are now missing.
