First Friends

Aunt Kim and Uncle Jeff rescued this great train table from their neighbor's curb for us. Nana cleaned it up, Papa hauled it to us and the boys are loving it! Thank you all! Free is certainly the best price!


During our first week back, one of my best friends, Jen and her son Finn (8 days younger than Sebastian) came to stay over night with us. It was soooo much fun - how I have missed my dear Orlando friends! We tackled the beach in the afternoon. I learned an important lesson. Beach means I will get soaking wet, so just wear a bathing suit. I thought we'd just play in the sand at the edge....but not so much. I was drenched, but happy!

Sebastian wanted to go all the way in, but it was too hard since I had Matteo too. I'll have to work at mastering this beach with two children skill...

Finn and Sebastian had an absolute ball playing that day.

The next morning we headed out to the Zoo but stopped for smoothies first. Matteo loves his smoothies. He could have cared less he was at the zoo as long as he had his smoothie in hand.

Looking at the cheetah.

And the highlight of the zoo is the very amazing and awesome splash/pool area for kids. They played and played and played. Now Sebastian says he wants to be a fish when he grows up and I think this might be why...

The only shot where Finn and Sebastian are actually in the same frame. Three year olds have a mind of their own!

My Super Sebastian.

And my sweet little one...he was just hot and tired. He slept the whole time the older boys splashed around. Maybe next time he can enjoy it too. We renewed our pass so I'm sure we will be weekly visitors. I'm loving being back! Can you tell!? And I am sure that in the coming weeks I'll finally be able to catch up with all of our friends so if you haven't heard from us, trust me, we've just been busy but can't wait to see you!!!!

Picture Update!!!

Matteo's "I just woke up" face.

Sebastian is saying, "Mami, take our picture, take our picture!"

Love Matteo's look of admiration as he watches his big brother playing trains at the library.

Popsicle picture!!!

Matteo's Birthday DAY

On Matteo's actual birthday, we wanted to make sure he enjoyed his day. We went to a park with a playground that was just his size. At first he wasn't too sure about climbing around on things, but after a bit...

He was having a ball playing like a big kid.

The boys.

He loved going down the slide with Mami and eventually wanted to go by himself (with some help of course!).

Then it was time for a quick nap. So sweet... He was exhausted.

After his nap we took him to the buffet at Sweet Tomatoes. He LOVED it. I think he sampled most of the things on the salad bar, along with pasta and his new favorite - JELLO!

Yummmy!!!!

Happy boy with a full belly!

Later that evening we had all the grandparents over and sang happy birthday again with some cupcakes. It was a great and special day. Still can't believe my little guy is one! Wow!

Our week at home...

This week we were home. As usual.... We really are staying pretty busy, but I sure miss going out every morning as I've always done so it's an adjustment.

Last weekend, we actually visited a playground because it was in the 40s! Sebastian was beyond thrilled, poor kid...

This week we also started our weekly activities plan. It went really well and Sebastian enjoyed most of the things we did. Here he is hiding some toys in a macaroni bin.

We made some new Seasame Street characters for his Elmo and Zoe play kit. This thing is awesome, it really keeps him entertained and has sparked a lot more pretend play for him.

Matteo gnawing on a whole apple.

Beautiful afternoon after a fresh snow. This is the view from one of our windows.

Paul thinks this video is hilarious. Matteo "dances" like this all the time...

We smashed different kinds of berries to make juice and then used the juice to paint some creations.

Matteo even tried some juice for the first time this week and he loved it.

Sebastian hiding during "hide and seek."

We cut out pictures of fruit from magazines and made fruit letter cards. Sebastian loved this activity.

Mami got brave and suited up the boys to play in the snow on our balcony. Matteo even tried to crawl in the snow!

Making big, big messes with his food these days.
