News and prayer information from Richard and Pinuccia Wilson

Pinuccia has just come back from a visit to her gynacologist. This time she went by herself, as it was at 9am and we didn’t want to wake Stefania, who in fact achieved her personal best of sleeping in until 11.15 – the result of keeping her up until half past midnight whilst we went to the concert. Anyway, the ultrasound showed that Pinuccia is excepting a boy, which after a girl was naturally our preference. It looks like the church tradition (of more than 90% girls) has been broken, as another pregnant lady due in July is also expecting a male. The third lady expecting in July, who already has three daughters, will be happy if this new pattern keeps up. Now to start thinking about names…

About a month ago I saw that one of the most famous Italian singers of the 70s and 80s (although he is still regularly making records and appearing on TV) was coming to Trento – Claudio Baglioni if you are interested. Since he is Pinuccia’s favourite singer, the concert was a Tuesday (my free night) and just a couple of weeks after her birthday, I got a couple of tickets to take her out as a surprise. She knew we would be going out, but the destination was a secret; unfortunately she figured it out because there was too much advertising around for the concert. So last night we went, and Pinuccia really enjoyed herself, as many of the songs brought back memories of her youth in Sicily. Every now and again I looked at her and she seemed to be a teenager again as she sang along. Number 2 seemed to enjoy the concert as well, the sound kept him or her awake the whole time, and occasionally she or he would kick along in time with the music.
