What do you mean, you may ask? Well, my Mama, who has been here since we arrived in Rochester pretty much, leaves on Friday. Oh boy....who knows how things will go. It has been so helpful to have someone to focus on Sebastian or hold sleeping Matteo, clean up after dinner and hold the chupi (pacifier) in Matteo's mouth in the car. I know we will "re-adapt" to being just the three of us during the day, but she sure will be missed. =( I know that by God's grace, I will make it through each day, because they sure can be trying lately! We will have a visit from Nana and Papa this weekend, so that will delay the crash into reality a few days more, but Monday it will be just us! Please keep us in your prayers! For now, enjoy seeing some of the things we've been up to in our new city.
Enjoying an afternoon entertaining Matteo.
Our building had their annual picnic last week and Sebastian loved playing with all the balloons that were out for the festivities.
Matteo's first visit to the zoo.
Elephant!
Our zoo pass from Melbourne is good here too, so we hope to visit often.
This is the building where Paul works now.
Matteo in his Harris Corp shirt. All new babies get one and if you send in the picture they put it up on their intranet. Proud Daddy was more than happy to do that!
On Sunday, we had a wonderful visit from an old San Pedro Scripture Camp friend Fr. Jonathan. He happened to be taking some courses about 2 hours away, so Father and Brother Roberto, his roommate, came to spend the day with us. Sebastian quickly found a new friend to play with. It was really funny, because the night before we were reading his bible stories and I found a picture of Jesus wearing a long gown, similar to the habits I knew they'd be wearing as Franciscans. I was trying to explain to him that my friends were coming to visit and they were Jesus' friends, etc. so he wouldn't be concerned when he saw the habits. Well, he had absolutely no problem with it and has been asking for "Chachi's friends" (Jesus' friends) everyday since!
Our family with Brother Roberto and Fr. Jonathan. We had a great home Mass and both boys behaved beautifully. Hard to believe we had not seen each other in 7 years!
Sebastian loves to help Daddy give Matteo a bath.
Look Mami - it's your shoes!
Playing playdoh snowmen with Abuelita.
Going shopping at Wegmans with Barney.
Matteo sitting in his bumbo seat, enjoying the views from the apartment.
Besitos de Abuelita!
I love this picture. We are going to miss Abuelita. Our September visit can't come soon enough!
Mami with a smiling Matteo!
