Vero has her first Communion...NOT!

Vero is so into dressing up. She asked me for a piece of lace and immediately used it for a veil with the tutu that I made her. She pretends she is a bride, princess and queen, all at one time. She is such a girl.

Summer Fun

Little Campers

This year marks the first time that the kids have taken a day camp.  They attended a week in June and will attend a week in July and August.  I scarcely know what to do with my 2.5 hours of free time.  This morning, I got my hair done, tomorrow I go to the PT for my knee. 
I enjoy the free time but cannot wait to get back to the kids as well. 

Little Hikers

This summer we have begun to take the kids hiking.  So far this summer they have been on 4 hikes of varying lengths.  1-3 miles each.  Most of the times, we have had friends with us and that makes the trip so much for fun.  The kids get to talk with their buddies and we get a chance to chat with the adults.

Growing up on an island was a wonderful experience and I think that the kids are learning a lot about appreciating the outdoor when we take them hiking.

New Car Old Car

Here are the kids in the new van. I have been working a bit with other kids here and there so I love having the extra space. Part of me however is really going to miss the Volvo. After 4 great years, it is time to send it to another family.

Super Girl at Home

A Little Mini Me

Lorenzo has really gotten to be a really industrious little boy lately.  He is very much interested in all types of tools and their uses.  One weekend, he watched Demetrio take the bathtub apart to fix a faulty valve.  He was all eyes and ears as Deme sawed his way into the tub and fixed the problem.
