Our Little Soccer Star(s)

Arianna had her very first soccer game today. She had a blast! She HAD to have the BLUE shin gaurds, and black cleats w/ pink embellishments both of which she wears whenever possible. Of course, Enzo would LOVE to be wearing HIS uniform...he just doesn't have one yet. He keeps asking when 'we' can play soccer. So her games are now 'our' games, I love it! He'll be signing up next spring, I take it. He's great at dribbling! He cried tonight when we had to take the shin gaurds off for bed. Here they are,the Black Stallions.

Arianna told me tonight how much she likes her coach, so thank you Jordan! That looks like quite a job!

Then there is our little Massimo. Tomorrow is his 2 month birthday! I hate that he is growing up so fast. He is as sweet as can be though! Enzo is trying so hard to learn how to be gentle with him. He just loves him so much he isn't quite sure how to contain that emotion. He kisses Massimo more than anyone else, I think. Such a good big bro. Arianna loves to make him smile. She is getting really good at it and will just sit and 'chat' and laugh with him for the longest time.

I am so very blessed.

The other day when I went out in the back yard Arianna and Enzo were just taking a minute to rest. It was so cute to see them both taking in life for a moment, together. I only wish I would have had my camera earlier so I could have caught them w/ their eyes closed just relaxin; I made them stay put and this photo doesn't quite convey the message I was hoping. I guess kids aren't known for staying in one place, huh?!
