here come June & spring!


April has been quite the month. On April 4th cousin June Marie was born and we've been celebrating her arrival with candles, 10am prosecco at the bar, and many skype calls. Soon after June, came spring, the best time of year. Ella has been busy getting big, Luca busy getting booboos and going super fast on his pedal-less bike. This morning I realized just how big our babies are getting. Ella threw one of her first tantrums when I took her back inside from the balcony (she loves talking to the people of pecetto, just like her brother), and then Luca told me "Luca feel sick again" when it was time to get dressed for school. Big liar! He knows how to work the system already at 3. Uh oh.


Happy Birthday cousin June Marie Villanueva!
Spring, a time to wear hats (Nooooo!)
a time to go down with Luca (Yesss!)

a time to walk....almost!

a time to ride bikes
a time to be with friends...

and drink a cold beer and eat some "ato" at the end of it all.

Box of Goodies

Luca polishing his banana grams technique

The prizeys just keep on coming. Now that all 4 of us have birthdays between March and May, it's non-stop party, and present opening. Last week we got a big box from Nonnie and Poppie. Luca couldn't wait to open it to reveal the mysterious contents, while Ella couldn't wait to taste whatever was inside!

When You're 60 or More

Recently by Dad celebrated the big 6-0, so the siblings and I collaborated to put together a little music video. Our tone and rhythm may have been off, but the intentions were good and we had fun doing it!

Feel free to sing along!
