For the last month or so, Matteo has been saying a few recognizable words. His first was, “Dad”, which really sounded like “Da”. At first, we thought he just might be making sounds, but he seemed to say it when we entered the room. Recently, he started saying, “hi” and “bye” as he waved to [...]

Buenos días, buenos días…
“Buenos días, buenos días ¿Como estan? ¿Como estan? Muy bien, gracias Muy bien, gracias ¿Y usted? ¿Y usted?” I just heard Christopher singing this song. He IS learning Spanish at school!
Our boys
I took some pictures of the boys the other day as we were goofing around and playing. Enjoy.
School days

In one month’s time, Matteo has gotten stronger and a bit more determined in his movements. He crawls everywhere, pulls up on the furniture or stands in his crib without assistance [...]
My first day at preschool
Christopher went to school today. He was there for only two hours; this is the routine for transitioning new students. Though I was allowed to stay for the first hour or so, I need not. He began playing right after we walked in the door and greeted the teachers. I took a couple of photos [...]
Holiday photo dump
I just downloaded a bunch of photos from our other camera. Here are a few more moments from our holiday celebration with friends and family. There is also one photo of Matteo “enjoying” his FIRST New Year’s Eve party.
