We spent some time this weekend with our friends, John and Troy, and their kids, Randy and Katie. The weather was great; the kids played on the deck in the backyard, while daddies drank “juice”. For dinner, Troy served a very delicious pot roast, polenta and salad. When we sat down for dinner in their [...]

Monte Tavor the Musical
Christopher starred in his first school musical on Saturday. We were very excited parents – both of us had tears of joy as we watched. We put together a compilation of his three acts in one video. It’s a bit long, but it is worth watching to see our superstar if not the costumes! Monte [...]
I wonder if shoplifting runs in the family
Matteo and I went to Sports Authority yesterday to purchase a left-handed baseball glove for Christopher who loves to play baseball. He even asked for a glove “for my birthday”. After making our purchase, I strolled Matteo out to the car only to find a pair of white socks in his hand – a cheap [...]
Our next toilet-training victim
Did I say victim? I meant candidate. With Christopher fully potty trained except for night-time diapers, we won’t start training Matteo for some time; however, it is nice to see that he has an affinity for sittin’ on the pot. Another positive note – both boys wear size 5 diapers, which means we only need [...]
Happy Mother’s Day
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 [...]
Rockin’ my K-Swiss
Yesterday, I discovered that Matteo’s toes were at the tip of his Stride Rite prewalker shoes. Bad daddies. Anyway, after walking around the Lake today, we stopped in at the Foot Locker to get some new shoes for Christopher and Matteo. I found a decent pair of K-Swiss Classics. Check out Matteo after nap time. [...]

Damn you, Sugar
For Easter, Nana and Pop-pop and Grandma Kathi gave Christopher and Matteo an Easter basket. In each basket, Christopher was excited to find jelly beans – excited once he ate one and realized how wonderful they were. Nana and Pop-pop’s basket came with a rather large bag of jelly beans. One day after school, we [...]
It has started…
…and “why not?” We have been waiting for this day; it has arrived. We are looking to the incessant “why not, Dad (or Daddy)?” eventually to be followed by the ever popular, “Because I said so!” Yes, we are turning into our parents. Fortunately, at the moment, he seems to be satisfied with our responses [...]
