Memorial Day Fun!

Today we had a ball with friends (Chrissy) and an outing at the Park. What a great day for swinging (not so thrilled) and sliding (fantastic). It was a beautiful day and we felt lucky to be New Yorkers by the water and park.

Hope you are all enjoying a great holiday!!!

Walking Tall -

Hot Update - Alessandro is walking -

He has been standing up for about a week by himself, but now he takes up to five steps at a time..... It is very exciting and although we do fall down sometimes, we also stop to clap for ourselves in excitement.

We have also mastered many exciting words like mama, dada, cat (where this came from I can not tell you), and Uga (which we think is dog). We are also practicing sign language which he is picking up very quickly - such an exciting time!

Look forward to more updates once we are running soon -

Love to all -

Pops Visit -

Pops was here to visit with the boys while I was in Vegas for my conference. They had a fantastic time and we are so thankful for all the fun times.

Pops next time we promise better weather for your visit - or you will not leave sunny Florida -

Meeting Mr. Met -

While walking in a downtown festival - we met Mr. Met - hero to David and Alessandro alike. Although neither had their hats on at the time - also here is a photo of them in full Mets regalia. If only they could help poor Willie with their spirit alone - :)

1st Hairccut -

Alessandro recently went for his first hair cut -

He was not pleased and did not appreciate that he was at the best salon for kids in Tribeca -

When we called I explained that it was a first hair cut for a one year old and they asked "did he have a particular stylist he would like?"

Anyhow - he looks perfect and a little less an out of work air guitar band or hockey team member without his mullet.

First Birthday Fun!

All - Alessandro had a lovely birthday - we were surrounded by family and friends for his big party first at church and then at the bar - Also those of you who were in doubt here is the Elmo cake made by Mama Dearest -

Many thanks for all of you who remembered us and his very special day -
