i will start with photos of me when i lived in Sicily, Italy, this are all pre-September '97.
with my sisters in Alba's cot. dont you love the fringe i have here?
this was in Rome in '96.
this is one of my favourites. me with my collingwood ball at only 2 weeks old. we had just won the premiership so mum was in the spirit, despite living in a different country.
In Rome again. this was on the same day, but we decided to see the colleseum.
we were in Rome to get mine and my sisters passports and citizenships to come to Australia.
My dad was born here so we could get the Citizenships with no worries.
Here I am with my Nonna, Concetta. I was named after her, but coincidently my Mums mum was also a Concetta, so i was named after both and my Nonno who is Concetto.
This is the only Nonna I met, my mum's mum passed away when my mum was 17.
And i hardly knew this one, as i moved from Italy when i was 7, i barely remember her and Nonno.
Another of my favourites.
So hot in Sicily during summer.
you know my sisters and II had about 7 different variations of this bathing suit when we were younger. we kept some for memorabilia. they are so vintage, and what i love is the Micky and Minnie Mouses on them.
This was in Winter.
we went for a walk in Siracusa (where i was born) and my cousins, sisters and i enjoyed this little ride. how cute is it?
This was on my sisters 4th Birthday i think.
I love the chaos in this photo!
With my dad. i cant believe how much 20 years ages someone, but then i look at me... and yeah LOL.
Dona and I.
This is at Carnavale in 97. both of my sisters (in the miiddle) are wearing my hand me downs. hahaa.
Me, my cousin Chetto, my sister Dona, and my cousins Salvo and Samantha. just chillin'
michievous duo... this is when we used to get along for longer than 5 minutes.
This is on the roof of our House in Italy. I LOVE THIS PHOTO. definitely in my top 10 photos!!
This is on Carnavale in '96. for some reason most the town was dressed as Indians in the parade. i am here with my cousin, and my crying sister haha. she wanted to be in the parade but i was better than her LOL.
I just love my cousin getting the splinter out of his hand in the background. makes me laugh everytime!
Another of my favourites. i love the colours in this.
i believe this is when we went to Calabria for the day with some family friends.
With my mum in Winter! must have been cold...
Dont you love my mums perm?
Cheeky... literally LOL.
Oh god the clothes. with my sister dona
Dona, Alba and me on Alba's first birthday.
this night we were all really sick, even my dad and half the guests.
but i still had a good time, as usual! gotta keep on keeping on!
hahaha, i dont know what funnier, Dona bandage, which she got from falling on the balcony and hitting the railling, or the huge "mobile" phone in my hand. how times have changed!
At the beach. loving the sunglasses!
This is when having Alba was a novelty. she was only a month old at this point.
With my parentals in Campagna. my mum was already Pregnant with my sister Dona here.
With my sisters. such professionals already LOL.
i just love the outfits my mum had us in...
This was my last day at school in Italy. and we left for Australia 3 months later.
Alba looks like one of the Olsen twins in this photo. like seriously.
The girls :) this was Alba's first Christmas. she would have been 8/9 months old by now.
With my Nonno Concetto. this is my mums dad. i love him so much, and miss him. wish i lived close enough to visit him all the time, only a few thousand miles between us...
This is on my 2nd Birthday (in case the cake didnt give it away) with my Grandparents Concetta and Antonino. My brother and I are named after these grandparents. in fact my brother has the same name exactly. Women dont take the Husbands name in Italy, so i dont have the same name.
I LOVED THIS BED!!
it had like a tent thing that made it into a car, like a convertible rood. and as you can see the wheels say Ferrari, so you know i was so cool, i had my first Ferrari before i even knew how to say it LOL.
With my mum. i would have been like 2 days old.
With Nonno Concetto on his 70th Birthday. this was the last birthday we spent with him before we moved to Australia. I loved this dress i wore, i think i wore it everyday that year, since i had 2 springs and 2 summers. and NO WINTER OR AUTUMN! it was a good year weather wise haha.
This is Alba's first Christmas again. you can tell its Christmas by our clothes... LOL. ahhh thats the spirit haha!
This Carnavale my kindergaten/prep class all went as pencils... i was blue obviously haha. isnt it just the hottest suit ever??
And finishing this post is this cute ass pic of me on a ferry on our way to Calabria for the day.
so scared... and still would be! haha.
OK, well that's all i will show you for now.You will have to keep yourself updated for more photos before i leave my teenage years behind and begin my 20's.
xoxo Connie
