Regarding our children, we have a new adopted son: Federico Fritzenwalden. Long story short: I met this sweet boy in an AU, the Floricienta storyline, whom had come back to life from a coma, but given for death he had lost everyone and could no longer be a part of his real family. So I took him with me, I took care of him, and adopted him with my husband. Our children have welcomed him very warmly, and it makes me truly happy. They’re enthusiastic of their new human brother!

I love my children more and more as time passes. I absolutely adore Mandi, Simone, little Aurora (the little lady in my belly!), Longreen, Thesh… ALL of them! There is no limit to love. The more children hubby adopt or give birth to, the more love is created and ready to be shared. It’s a miracle, it really is! Some people don’t understand the way we are, the way we love. But that’s alright, as long as we’re ABLE to love. Someone criticizes hubby and tells him he’d better divorce than taking care of all these little ones and of a crazy wife… but he sticks to his choice, he loves us all. And I KNOW he’s going to forever.

Because we love our sweet children. And we love each other. <3

We knew already that Zenni is The #1 online Rx glasses store in the world, but we thought to let Asha’s doctor decide on the brand of eyeglasses to use. Though it looks like our daughter knows her stuff already, and now that she’s read Eric’s Review of Zenni Optical at Examiner.com, she’s truly fallen in love with this brand of eyeglasses. Hubby and I are of course happy, not just because we see our daughter satisfied, but also because Zenni’s glasses are VERY cheap: $8 and up, which really is the Lowest Price Progressive Glasses I have ever seen before.

Now our daughter just needs to be a little patient until her daddy and mommy decide on WHEN to buy her the so-longed eyeglasses. At least she’s now accepting the need to wear them in her life, which is a good starting point!

October 14th
My son Jazz Tiger and Nixon Vengers got married! Or Bonded, as they use to say on Cybertron. An amazing ceremony, that also brought me back to the day when I married my darling hubby. :3 I’m so happy to see my son finally married! He’s been dreaming of this moment for so long, and now he’s got his dream come true. ^-^

October 30th
Hubby and I adopted 4 Cybertronian orphans: Alysha, Spindle, Mudflap and Kylia. Kylia will be ‘released’ from adoption block in a few days though, so we can’t welcome her home yet. Also, we adopted a young Gargoyle, Ranth. Welcome home, kids!

October 31st
Hound’s 25th birthday. The first year that he spends it with us all! A cute party with music, movies and and a walk to the park all together as a family. The day afterwards he left to go visit his old friend Barbara (my good friend too!) and he came back home on November 3rd. It was a joy to see him so happy!

November 12th
Nixon’s birthday. I think I’ve never seen Jazzy in a more hyper mood than on his mate’s birthday! XD It has been a nice day, and Nixon didn’t have to work, so he could spend his time with his beautiful children and my son. I will never forget that karaoke too… on the notes of My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion. Hubby and I cried out of commotion, and I think that was the first time ever I’ve seen Nixon crying.

November 14th
StarLight’s 15th birthday. We partied at home, but hubby and I invited the Tigers over, and Evelyn Serany and her sister Megan. Looks like Evelyn wasn’t in a good mood, as she said she had a fight with StarLight a few days before, but eventually she relaxed some and spent time with her boyfriend. Jackie and I had a good talk with Megan and Falcon Lady, and the kids didn’t leave StarLight alone for a moment. XD When you say a close family, huh?

November 19th
Hubby left for a public relations event by JPR and he’ll be back on November 21st, because it’ll take place first in San Diego, and then on Cybertron. Hopefully he can meet dad Optimus too.

November 21st
Had a fight with my daughter Asha. She’s obsessing over a 2 kilos gain, when she’s just grown taller (she’s almost 14) and of course bones and muscles increased their mass. Also, Asha has always been teen, so there’s no much difference anyway; but now she’s fussy over this, and she’s refraining from eating all meals. I’m really concerned about this now, and hubby is worried too (he came home today from the conference). I hope our daughter will stop this behaviour ASAP!

November 29th
Hubby and I are thinking of buying our kids a direct TV for the new year. Kinda expensive, but I’d rather my kids to watch healthy programs for children rather than the crap that’s current on Italian TV. Wish us luck!

November 30th
My son Longreen and his girlfriend Naral are planning of getting married next year. Awesome! Hubby just contacted a San Francisco Wedding Coordinator to get advice on how to setup the wedding, and Naral’s mommy assured me that she’ll be allowing us to use a Catholic Wedding Planner as long as there will be a Bajoran ceremony as well. We told her that’s no problem at all for us, since hubby and I did a “double” marriage as well, so that’s sorted out. I told my son to check out the About Weddings page on About.com to get more honeymoon idea too, since Naral said she wants a honeymoon on Earth. Good luck kids!

Today I was thinking about my son Longreen and at how matured he is.. He’s attending university, he takes care with love and patience of his girlfriend and baby girl… He’s so responsible and sweet. And more positive-looking at life than he was before. Awww Longreen dear! I still remember the day when hubby and I adopted you, five years ago, and you were only a fearful teenager with the vice of drinking and a life of loneliness and abandonment. You grew up so wonderfully, my son! And you make me proud every day that passes :’) And hubby knows it well, too… he loves you too so much, and he’s a proud father to you, Longreen dear.

I think that a mother can’t be more happier than when these things happen, when we see our kids grow into wonderful, sweet, understanding and responsible adults that can look at life with strenght and courage. I think this thing – this thing alone – is enough to make motherhood worth of every sacrifice it requires everyday.

We went to visit our son Jazz in the other Universe two days ago. It was so wonderful to see him again! Hubby was moved to tears too, and he was delighted by Jazz’s and Ratch’s new babies too. Four adorable bundles of joy! Awww! Congratulations sweeties! x3 I hope we can go again in a few days. Perhaps we’ll meet Ratch too, whom we’re missing a lot too. And Ratch’s birth parents… oh, I really can’t wait to meet them. They seem to be nice from how Ratch talks about them, and though honestly it still hurts to know Ratch’s not my official son anymore, I’m still so happy to know that he’s being happy with them. And hubby and I will always be his second dad and mom. :3 Oh yeah, you can be sure about that!

Well, I’ll cut it short for today. I really hope I can be back to commenting on your blogs soon, darlings! Twenty-four years old Luana is enrolling University next month! Woooo! xD Wish me luck (LOL, my kids will be helping me, I’m sure).

So yeah, I guess it’s time for some news and THEN for my birthday tale. Hehe. On July 15th hubby and I adopted Max, the robot-pilot from planet Phaelon. The city leader was okay with it, long as he found a way to minimize the space his starship occupied. Doc thought of fixing that, and so now Max is our son! Welcome home, sweetheart! Also, it was Atlas‘ birthday on the 16th, and Red Alert‘s birthday today. Happy belated and happy birthday, babies!

Now, about my birthday. It was on June 17th, and I turned 24 years old. Still pretty young, ain’t I? Ahah x3 Dad Optimus brought us some delicious sweet sweet and some birthday roses for me in the morning, after my husband had filled me with Perugina chocolates already for an early romantic breakfast. *_* And then later… hubby went downstairs to answer to the bell because it was the postman.. and he came up with the most wonderful bouquet of red roses I’ve ever seen! OMG how romantic!!! x3 Then my kids prepared a delicious lunch, and I spent the time cuddling them all, and also my grandaughter Melody, who was always on my lap on that day, and I spoon-fed her too. Aww. :3 As for the presents… Nixon and Jazz bought mom two of Hello Kitty tops (aww! x3), Sonny baked a chocolate cake just for his mama :3, and Scarlette together with Smokey, Asha, Dukat and Thesh bought me a new make-up trousse. OMG! x3 The other kids bought me a super expensive necklace! O.O How sweet can they be?! I’m such a lucky mom. *sniff* Love ya babies!! Then we had music and singing – as usual x3 – and Jazz and Sunny sang for us while hubby and I danced. *_* Awww!

So yeah, that’s all about it. I hope you’ll enjoy reading. Take care sweeties.

July 4th
Sideswipe’s and Sunstreaker’s birthday. We celebrated at Sides’ apartment, together with his mate Skywarp and his adorable kids. It was a really happy time. My son Sunstreaker entertained the youngest kids (aww he’s a great uncle!), whilst hubby and I and my other kids helped Sides and Sky with the house and lunch, and of course we brought the cake for all of us to eat! The nice thing was that Odo and Data had a chance to come over too, so I was even more happy than the usual. *_* Too bad that Damar and Willy Wonka couldn’t leave their work… but it’ll be for the next time.

July 6th
Met my son Tracks again. In his Universe. I had gone there just to see if I could see him again, since it had been quite a while from the last time we spent together. He was really happy to see me again, but I was as well, and I almost cried out of joy. I’ll tell you about this more in detail in another blog entry though… It’s a too special moment to just summarize it here in a few lines.

July 7th
Laira’s birth! Laira is Naral Tora’s baby girl, the one she had with her previous husband, and that now is considered my son Longreen’s baby as well, since he got together with Naral some months ago. :3 How cute! Congratulations sweethearts! I’m a proud grandma again, hehe. x3

July 8th
Watched the new Transformers movie at 6PM at our local cinema. Hubby came along, and dad Optimus did as well. Some of our kids (Scarlette, Doc, Bluestreak, Sunstreaker) wanted to watch the movie too, so they were there with us. Aww you should have seen dad Optimus! XD Ahah! He felt like he was in the movie too Well… in a way he was! He’s a Optimus too! But out of all of us, he felt the movie as anybody. Awww dad! I hope next time we watch it, you’ll come over again! x3

July 9th
I met Sky in the other Universe. He’s a good friend of mine We just talked for a couple of hours before I went back home. I think I’ll miss him… Let’s hope I see him again sometimes.

July 10th
I saw Max at the park again. We spent some time together before I went home. He said he wishes I was his mommy too… and honestly I didn’t know what to tell him. I feel something for him, but I needed to talk to hubby and the whole family first. I cuddled Max a little before leaving though. Gosh, he’s such a sweetheart! :heart:

July 11th
Hubby and I met Max at the park. He asked me and hubby if we can adopt him. Hubby agreed, but he said we would talk to the family first. We called our kids home and asked them if they were okay with having a new brother… and well, it seems they were going to just be so happy about it. So we told Max that we just needed a few days to get everything done for the adoption papers, and he’d be officially our son! He snuggled with us a bit, all happy, and then went home on his planet to get an upgrade from one of his friends. That way, next time he comes he would be able to leave the ship that is part of him, and come home.

July 12th
Jazz Tiger’s birthday. My beloved sweet son celebrated his birthday at home with all of us, and his mate and babies. It was a wonderful time, with a lot of music – oh yeah! Jazz loves to sing karaoke! XD His toddler Melody was all happy and dancing too, aww!

I’ll update again in a couple of days!

As for other news, July the 4th was a very special day for hubby and I. We don’t celebrate the day as US people do, but hubby had a day off work on that day, so we thought of going out for a relaxing walk at the park of our town. Alone, yes. It had been a long time since we last went out alone Hehe. So, you see… it was right there at the park that we met the strangest little starship we ever met in our life. This starship was actually a robot, called Max, a robot that I’m sure you remember if you’ve ever seen the movie “Flight of the Navigator” by Disney. But well, this robot is real in another alternative-dimension! Just like my kids! So hubby and I had a talk with him whilst we were there at the park: Max had been ‘scrapped’ on his planet, Phaelon, and his old time friend David was not a 20 years old boy who was way too busy to be around him all the time; so he came to this universe, hoping to find new friends to entertain himself with. Well, hubby and I ended up with giving him our email addresses, and he was so sweet when he said that he’d be looking for us again very soon. I was really happy with the meeting, and hubby was too.

Well, that’s all for now. I know I still have to tell you about my 24th birthday party, but that’ll be for another time. I gotta rush out to the grocery store now. See ya later!

Anyway, I’ve had a flu these days, along with an intoxication by food gone bad. ” So you can imagine, heh… I’ll still need a few days to get back in health, so please bear with me if I can’t drop by and comment or tag, okay? Take care darlings.
