Riccardo Ferrante 43, son of Roberto and Bianca. Married to Vivian 32. Father of Lucas 12, Terry 10, Damian 8, Matt 6, Joey 4, and Mason 2. I open my eyes and it takes a while before I realize it. I gently lean up and look at the clock on the bedside table. It is five thirty and quiet in the house. In half an hour Viv her alarm clock will go off if not one of the children has woken up earlier. Luca, Megan, and their children sleep in our guest house in the garden. We have agreed with the children that they can all go to the living room when they are awake and it is six thirty. Because there is a visit. Normally I don't want that, but family is visiting this whole week, the children also have to go to school so if they are up at half past seven or at seven o'clock, that’s okay.
