I bought the kids a blow up boat to take with us to Lake Mead. We took it out one Saturday and had a blast rowing it around the lake. Gianluca didn’t really like it so after I showed the kids how to use it I let Alessia and Curtis boat around by themselves. They had a blast. Of course… Read more →
This year for J.A.W.S. only 9 third graders completed 100 plus miles and Curtis was one of them. I am really impressed that he made his goal for the year. Alessia was one of 6 kindergarteners to finish 55 plus miles (there were three other kindergartners who got 100 plus miles). She wasn’t too motivated to walk so I am… Read more →
Here is proof that Gianluca is no longer an easy going baby. He is on the move and into everything. Today he has started to cry every time I leave the room too. He also cries for me to hold him. I pick him up and two minutes later he cries to get down and as soon as I put… Read more →
My baby is 11 months old today. How did that happen? Wasn’t he just a newborn baby. (I was going to say tiny but he never was tiny). Gianluca is just a delight. He is usually very happy and very easy going. The last few days he has been testing out his lungs and starting to demand more attention. He… Read more →
This summer we are going to Utah for a family reunion with John’s family. We decided to mail a big bouncy ball to the cousins to let them know we were excited to see them in a few weeks. We also sent the cousins on my side of the family a box of candy with a note that said, “Have… Read more →
Curtis is nine going on thirty. He would love to be in charge. He told John and I that we couldn’t tell him what to do. That he had rights. He could choose if he wanted to go to time out or not. We told him that he was right but there were consequences for every choice and well, he… Read more →
I have spent way too many hours at the doctors this year. This past month it was turn to visit the doctors. In April I accidentally shut my garage door on my left arm. A week later it was still quite sore and I was afraid I might have broken it. Luckily, a trip to Dr. Grondel and an x-ray… Read more →
On Memorial Day, Curtis decided he needed to draw an United States Flag on the driveway since we didn’t have a flag to hang. He drew it all out all by himself. He even added all thirteen stripes and fifty stars. The kids went to the store with John that morning and donated some money to the Veterans. When John… Read more →
Curtis’s den leaders organized a fun field trip to the police station. The little kids and I decided to hang around for it too. I wanted to tour the police station to see what it was like inside. Overall, it was actually pretty boring inside. Just offices. No Jail or criminals at this station. The kids had fun though learning… Read more →
In May it started to stay warm on a continual basis so all the winter clothes were finally put away and the kiddie pool was brought out. Gianluca loves the kiddie pool. I shouldn’t be surprised because he loves baths too. The others kids loved having the pool out too. After a week though the water was quite gross so… Read more →
