<br />
5 days later than due date (but only 6 hours later comparing to my spreadsheet), Stefano came to life!<br />
He was waiting 4 kg (8 pounds and 13) and he was the bigger of ours baby!<br />
Mum and baby are fine and all of us are very happy.<br />
Agnese, Rachele and Paolo gave him the warmest welcome at home!<br />

On Sunday we paid a visit to the <a href="http://www.nhm.ac.uk/">London Natural History museum</a>.<br />
Children found it very interesting and we did too.<br />
The dinosaurs department was one of the most popular attractions, with T-Rex being the top hit.<br />
The model was a real size one and it was moving so smoothly that it was very realistic.<br />
<br />

<br />
Paolo was horrified and holding us very firmly wanted to go away from that room as soon as possible.<br />
Rachele was much more diligent and she pretended everything was fine until when she was few meters close to the exit door: at that point she run away at full speed!<br />
Agnese was fine and she took these pictures.<br />
<br />

<br />
It was interesting to see dinosaurs eggs...<br />
I wonder if anyone in history has every made a dinosaur-eggs omelette.<br />

<br />
They found very interesting the bird area too.<br />
<br />
I saw a dodo, and I could picture very well these sailors being in sea for months and finding themselves in front of these big chicken like birds... no wonder they disappeared so rapidly.<br />

<br />
The earth forces was quite good as well, including the earth quake simulation.<br />
<br />
The girls found attractive also the geology area.<br />
<br />
In particular (I do not wonder why), the precious stones section: a diamond is always a diamond for a woman... apparently even in the case where a woman is just 8... or 6...<br />

Finally the big mammals area was amazing as well. In the back of the picture a big blue whale.<br />
<br />
It was a very tiring day, but so nice and interesting!<br />

Last year it was in a play group 3 times a week, now he is in a different one, and regular.<br />
He seems to enjoy it so far...<br />

<br />
We had the chance of visit few attractions there.<br />
First day we went to <a href="http://www.visitconkers.com/visitorinfo/">Conkers forest</a>, a wood plenty of attractions for children.<br />
They enjoyed most the "Enchanted forest", a play room with fairies... but also with spiders, creepy sounds and a troll!<br />
<br />
In the picture (taken from Agnese) the train that would have taken us for a tour was coming.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We spent the evening in a very nice hotel with swimming pool.<br />
The day after we went to the <a href="http://www.spacecentre.co.uk/Page.aspx/1/Home/">National Space Centre</a>.<br />
There were many interesting simulators to try and play with, in addition to other attractions.<br />
A very enjoyable one was a particular 3d theatre: it consists of a 360 degrees planetarium style screen... it is like to be inside an half sphere and watch everything happening around you.<br />
<br />
Obviously there were also satellites and a real rocket (in the picture).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Today I start my 4th job in 5 years of living in Cambridge.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Although it is not totally abnormal in here, it is a kind of extreme, or at least too much.</div>
<div>
But it was a step to be done at this time and a challenge to be faced. <br />
<br />
I join with enthusiasm and motivation to Novalia, leaving Telecommunications after 10 years and half.</div>
<div>
<br />
"Hope it lasts!", commented Anna Maria... sharing a quite sensible thought!<br />
<br />
In the picture... I enter into new world experience!<br />

We had a one day trip to <a href="http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/wrest-park/#Left">Wrest Park</a>, in Bedfordshire.</div>
<div>
The weather wasn't really supportive as one would expect in a summer day, but between one shower and another one we managed to have a walk in the beautiful park and forest of the property.</div>

<br />
<br />After 10 months this is my last day at Polatis.
<br />
<br />I feel it is now time to go towards new adventures and taking some risks.
<br />But I also feel I would regret not doing it.
<br />
<br />I thank all Polatis team for having me on board.

<br />We spent our summer holiday in Italy.
<br />It started with Davide & Alessia wedding (where this family picture was taken).
<br />

<br />
<br />Then we moved to the seaside.
<br />First week the weather was quite bad, second week Paolo got the chicken pox and Anna Maria and me we had to stay home with him in turns.
<br />Luckily we had 3 weeks and last one was great!<div>
