Love is in the Air ( Nine)

Going to our cottage 🏡💖

Sunday December 8 th 2023

** it's the next day after Londyn's seizure and Carina wanted to feel better so she decided to sleep in Londyn's room with her. Londyn did love the idea very much so... Maya didn't mind. She's been co sleeping with baby Niccolas... she's even able to breastfeed him.. which isn't surprising because she's been doing that with Giovanni and Salvatore... they are both only one and a half years old.. after all **

1h38 am
Londyn woke up to go to the bathroom...

Carina: where are you going baby girl?
Londyn : oh hi momma , I going to the bathroom, I be right back.
Carina: okay, wash your hands carefully after.
Londyn : yes momma!

** two minutes later Londyn flushes the toilet, gets up on her little two step ladder and washes her hands with soap and water, then runs immediately back to her room, she's scared of the dark.. Carina wraps her arms around her four years old daughter and gives her kisses and they both fall asleep immediately after **

SEVERAL HOURS LATER
7 h 48 am

**Maya and Niccolas are the first ones up, Maya starts folding the laundry and then puts it on a step , each kid knows what step their clothes are on... Niccolas is in the newborn baby carrier as he's only a month and four days old . One hour later the rest of the kids are slowly getting ready for the day, Carina joined her family at 8h50 am**

Carina: good morning everyone!
Maya : ouhhhh good morning my beautiful wife! How are you doing today?
Carina: I'm doing good, just exhausted... and you?
Maya : I feel the same way you're feeling today...

** the elves trick of the day was to draw over one of the kids drawing that they had done the day before.. nothing too crazy for today ***

Carina: I had a dream last night that I haven't had in a while...
Maya : what did you dream about babe?
Carina: I had a dream about my mom. She was really proud of me and how much I have worked hard to achieve my dreams... professionally and personally too ! Uhhhh I miss her so much... I wish I could physically hug her and hold her tight in my arms just one more time....

** she whipped her tears away from her beautiful brown eyes **

Londyn : vroom vroom ! Coming through... meeeep meeeep !

** she found a huge monster truck and started running around the house with it , holding it in her hands with the top of the monster truck **

Ohhhh ohhhh , why are you sad momma?

** she stopped... and came to hug her momma , who was laying down on the couch, Maya next to her.... Baby Niccolas was looking around everywhere... in his momma roo swing , he loves that swing ! It's really soothing to little newborn babies... **

I'm sad because I miss my mom!
Londyn : you mean Nonna ?
Carina: yes ! I miss her every day.
Londyn : you know she's right there with you in your heart...
Carina: yes I know sweetheart.. thank you..
Londyn : okay, you can always talk to her... she's up in the sky with Jesus and Juliette... they will
give you messages somehow!
Maya : that's right! How do you know that?
Londyn : because you said that years ago and I remember that... I only four but I'm a really really smart person...

Carina: this is what we're doing today, relaxing and cuddling up with everyone..
Maya : I'm okay with that idea...
Carina: excellent! Ouhhh you know what we can do...
Maya : what?
Carina: we can go to our cottage for the week, until the day before Chloe's birthday....
Maya : excellent idea babe! Let's get everything we need...

** several hours later everyone packed their bags, including their snowsuits and fun activities to do ... They have a two hour and a half drive to their cottage from their house **
