Batman arrives
We knew this day would come, and, surprisingly, we love it. Batman stands alone. Where’s Robin?
Someone has been accepted
When Matteo first came home, Christopher’s reaction was “brother” and “out!” In just a few weeks following that event, Christopher stopped saying “out” and started saying “atteo.” We were pleased. Today, Matteo finally received acceptance. Christopher and Sebastian finally made the gesture we have been waiting to see. During our Peet’s visit this morning, Christopher [...]
Someone turns 2
Christopher celebrated his 2nd birthday with a party attended by many of his friends. The day started out just like any other; we took photos, gave kisses, changed his diaper, ate breakfast, played in the park, ate lunch, and took a nap. When he awoke, a party was brewin’. Here is a photo dump. If [...]
Someone is very worried about Nana
Christopher is so worried about Nana that he had to kiss her and her boo-boo. Of course, the wound was bandaged. For those of you interested in Nana’s boo-boo… Here is a pic of the gang hanging out…
Someone loves to dance!
No matter the occasion, if there is music, there is dancing. We could be out walking, but when we pass someone or some place that is playing music, Christopher stops to dance. In this video, Pop-pop joined in the fun. Christopher and Pop-pop dancing from Mike and Michael on Vimeo.

About a week ago, Christopher, Matteo and I were about to get into the car, and I accidentally stepped on the back of his shoe. The shoe came off his foot. I grabbed the shoe, put Christopher in the car, and as I was about to put the shoe back on his foot, he said, [...]
Goodbye Joey
We drove down to my grandparent’s house on Saturday to celebrate my cousin Joey’s departure. He enlisted in the Marines last year, and is off to Hawai’i. Shortly thereafter, he may meet up with the rest of his troop in Iraq. Though I did not feel great about celebrating him going off to war – [...]
Two months
Matteo is smiling much more, even to the point of maintaining a smile for extended periods of time. Sometimes, we think he laughs. He is quite the character. Also, we have noticed fewer inconsolable moments. Even better, the last few nights – three or four – he slept very well, only waking once during the [...]
We bought a new car…I think.
For the last year or so, Mike and I have talked about our need (more like desire…Okay, it’s really my desire) to get a new vehicle. We have two vehicles now, but my car is too small for two kids and his car is too narrow for the four of us – seriously, when either [...]
