On Sunday, we met with Mommy Sara for lunch. We always enjoy our time together, whether it is at our house or out having lunch or dinner. Sunday’s get together was especially meaningful not only for Mike and me, but also particularly for Matteo and Mommy Sara. Since starting school, Matteo has been asking about …
On Friday, March 11, we celebrated Matteo’s birthday. He was fortunate this year; his birthday fell on a weekday. Our family-only tradition has been to celebrate weekday birthdays at Fenton’s Creamery. This year, Grandma Johnie, David and Aunt Jessica joined the festivities. As usual, we had a great time – the calm before the storm! …
I have taken an unexplained break from blogging. Once we completed our kitchen and family room renovation, and moved back in to the rooms, we had to prepare for Mike’s parents’ visit. One thing led to another, blah, blah, blah. So here goes… We finished our kitchen and family room renovation! The renovation took 11 …
Monday, June 7th, Christopher, Matteo and I met Mommy Sara for lunch. We spent about an hour together catching up on Matteo’s milestones and listening to Mommy’s new adventures since our last visit. During our visit, Matteo turned to Mommy and said, “Momma, Momma.” I hesitated to see Mommy’s response. Though I was afraid she …
Today we are supposed to wish a Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom, Mike’s Mom, “bonus” Mom (aka Kathi), Grandma Dot (aka G-Dot), Grandma Alicia – and we will, of course – but we want to dedicate this post to two very special Moms. To Mommy Stacey and Mommy Sara, Parents make sacrifices for their …
Well, the walking stick insects did not do the trick today. Sadly, Christopher cried, calling for daddy as I walked away with Matteo. I called a bit later to check, and of course he had eaten a BIG breakfast, and was happily playing. In the meantime, Matteo and I went to Peet’s for coffee – …
Today’s start was no different than any other. When Christopher awoke, he beckoned, “daddy!” After changing his diaper, we began walking out of his room on a mission to get milk. On a table near the door, sits a picture of dad, daddy, mom Stacey and Christopher. As we approached the door of Christopher’s room, …
We had a few folks over to our house on Friday afternoon to celebrate Matteo’s adoption finalization. Though we scheduled the get together at 3 pm, during the middle of a workday, we were pleased with the turnout with one exception. Grandma Kathi and great-grandma Dot were no shows. Grandma, who is still nursing her …
Today is a great day. On this day, two years ago we brought, Christopher, our first son, home. He was 3 1/2 months old. Just when we thought life could not be any better, Matteo was born. Tomorrow, with Matteo’s birth mother, Sara, in attendance, we finalize his adoption. We are excited beyond belief, and …
Last night, we had dinner with mommy Sara. We were so excited, and perhaps a bit nervous to see her. After all, we had not seen her since that first week after she left the hospital. Granted, we text/email about once weekly, but it is not the same. We waited about 20 minutes for the …
