My grad school friends and I have a hard time believing Daniel is 8.  He was born when we were taking a reproductive health class about the ways that c-sections can be lifesaving and his timely and safe delivery stands out in our minds because of the context in which we celebrated it.  But didn’t [...]

Nico added another 3 states to his list — Ohio, Indiana and Illinois — when we took the train out to Chicago for Auntie Ro’s 87th birthday (click for photos).  My parents met us there and we got to see my aunts (Rose and Nita), cousins (Scott, Kathy, and Diana), second cousins (Krista, Kari, and Lauren), [...]

A lot has happened so far in September and a lot more is about to happen, so I wanted to get ahead of the curve and post these photos from the first two weeks. Nico had his 9 month visit this month, complete with vaccines for 5 diseases (diptheria, tetanus, whooping cough, HiB and polio).  [...]

Right after we got back from Cape Charles, we headed out again — this time on a northeastern odyssey that took us through Poughkeepsie, the Catskills, New Hampshire, and New Jersey.  It was a trip filled with fun visits with family and friends.  Unfortunately we don’t have photos from his visit with Grandma and Grandpa [...]

Nico’s big cousin Nick graduated from high school this year.  We went up to NY to celebrate his achievement and wish him well when he goes off to the University of Tampa this fall.  Enjoy the photos!

Before we head out to the beach, I wanted to post these photos from July.  This set does not include photos from our recent trip to NY for Nick’s high school graduation — those will come soon.  And there’s no time for a long update, but I don’t think Nico really reached any milestones in [...]
