It seems like we just stopped celebrating Luca's birthday, and now we're on to Mark's. To carry on the tradition he was served breakfast in bed by his 2 favorite people. Luca stuck around to get a taste. 


yes, that says "30" in hot sauce!

my cup is full

coming back to italy after an amazing time with friends & family, a wild bachlorette party, and an unbelievable wedding, seeing my beautiful sister brimming with joy, it can be hard......for about 24 hours. Once the jet lag dizziness wears off and you head to the open air market to see the produce of the season, you feel italy open her arms and welcome you back with a hug and two kisses.

my cup is full of beautiful memories from our 3 week trip back home, happy in anticipation for new memories to be made with my sweet family of 3, and overflowing with fresh herbs for making mojitos con menta, caprese con basilico, patate al forno con rosmarino, polpette con prezzemolo. 

coming soon, a highlight of our trip west....

moving day


Dedicated to Auntie Amy! Happy Birthday!

carnevale in Pecetto means confetti everywhere, shaving cream fights, candy catching, zucchero filato (cotton candy), kids in costume, flag throwing, tractor parade, and 3 hours of italians shouting into a megaphone. Our little fisherman enjoyed the show from dad's shoulders and standing (!) in his large rainbow boots, tied on to his jeans.


luca flaunts his catch of the day

a day in the life

 cruising, looking for the most dangerous things to touch and insert in mouth
 being attacked by women of all ages
 after a getting himself satisfactorily dirty, now it's time to get others!
 mysteriously, we often find luca without pants by the end of his nap
getting into EVERYTHING
