Drums, Stargazing, and Staying Home

After our 'vacation' to the south, we decided that we should stay home for a weekend.  Luckily, it turned out to be a beautiful, warm and sunny opportunity to enjoy our patio.  We were able to have lunches outside, in the increasingly warm sunshine.  So, it was a fairly uneventfully weekend for the Bedell family. 
One notable exception, however, was Thomas.  On Friday his class at school culminated a week of drumming lessons with a concert for parents.   Ann and Sammy visited the school to watch Thomas beat a variety of fun rhythms on an over sized drum.  He really enjoyed it.  
Next, the weather has warmed up enough that Thomas is now getting to really enjoy one of his Christmas presents...a telescope.  He got a chance to marvel at detail on the surface of this week's full moon.

Hello Bedells! My name is Robyn and I came across your site because I was "googling" for infomation about Americans staying in the area of Arona. I have been living in Meina with my Italian fiance for about 3 months, and will be here for another year or so. I would love to have some fellow English speakers to chat with, and compare notes with :) Your blog is really great, I have been considering embarking on a similar venture.
