Happy Easter, right???

Yea, still catching up. Perhaps I should just forget about it!!! Here are some fun memories from Easter though. Mom, this is for you. Sorry it is a little late.










She couldn't resist!

3 Amigos

I was so tickled when I peeked outside to find this site.
The big guy could have gotten the job done substantially quicker w/o so much help, to be sure but these helpers weren't willing to spend any moments apart from their daddy, nor he from them, not if it could be avoided.

That was two weeks ago. The grass is certainly in need of a good mowing again. More importantly, we are all in need of some real good time with the big guy again! We made it! Today he comes home! Enzo has cried for him on nearly a daily basis, Arianna prayed for him at each sitting and Massimo repeatedly chanted his name hoping it would bring him home just that much sooner. I did a little of each and then some. Welcome home to the best dad and husband this little gang could have!! We love you!

Breakfast Musings

E: Mommy, how come I can't see my bum?
Me: Because it's hiding behind your jammies.
E: No, because it's back here (as he twists around the back to try to see his back side.)
Make it a great day! And don't strain yourself.

My Enzo

Yea, so my big boy turned 3...long ago!! Sorry bud. I have no good excuse for not throwing some stats up here from his exciting days of celebration sooner, but here goes.
First we went to G & G Poggio's for a Birthday celebration. He was showered with gifts and games of all kinds and then he enjoyed a Batman cake of his choosing. It was so nice to be able to celebrate w/ G & G. Thanks for having us up!

For his actual birthday we did breakfast in bed (though he didn't want to be awoken) his favorite dinner (always pasta!) presents and desert. Low key but enjoyable just being together. His sis was all about making it a special day for him.

He got all the gear he will need to become an all star, so tee ball, here he comes!
Then his buddies came over for some athletic fun. The pinata took the cake though! Anything with candy, right?!
Anyway, he is a big 3 year old now and we are so grateful for the sweet sweet young man that he is. There is more to add to his little story, but we'll have to tell those on another late night.

The final Stretch--VERY emotional!

I made it!!
This is the place (and time)

A finisher...and the sister that inspired me by starting this running thing years ago...only she can run the full monty!
