Miss Jamie -

Miss Jamie is our amazing babysitter who we were lucky enough to find this summer to help out with the boys. Honestly we would not of made it through the summer without her. She was amazing with Alessandro and Antonio and they love her very much. Miss Jamie played games, did arts and crafts, played in the yard, went to sports camp and the swim club. She also played in the basement when it was rainy or cold and read to the boys no-stop. The boys even named her Princess Presto after one of their favorite characters from Super Why. Jamie is amazing and showed amazing patience everyday going to VBS and the zoo with our entourage. The boys even crashed her graduation party and had to leave as they were cramping the style of the cool kids table....

We wish Jamie all the best and know she will have a fantastic time at Temple - still we will be counting the days until the holidays when she will be back to play with us - not to mention next summer if she is still willing... We love you Miss Jamie. XOXO

Swim Classes -

Alessandro had a great time at swim classes this summer. As opposed to the Y indoors - we took them this summer at our swim club. This was great because Antonio could play around in the baby pool until the class was over and the baby could chillax in the shade in his stroller (you have got to love the third born). The classes were for two weeks and were taught by the very friendly lifeguards at our club - most of which I would love to have for babysitters, but they are all leaving for college darn it. Alessandro dutifully wore his bubble and swam each day - he is also making lots of progress jumping off the side of the pool and swimming a little without the bubble. One thing that is also new is that he can now touch in the shallow end of the pool - Mr. Tall Boy. This is great but also not helping the swimming because he loves standing there like a flamingo and looking around. Thank goodness he is always willing to show off when PopPop and Daddy are present.

One other cute thing from swim club - ADL is now officially embarrassed by Mom and her taking photos of him doing everything - yes we always knew this day would come just was thinking more middle school then pre-school for it's arrival. See you at the swim club - will be the Mom with the three boys all over the place and covered from head to toe in Sunblock... XOXO

P.S. One morning when we were at the swim club we saw a blimp and that was SUPER FANTASTIC!!!
