Jessi's Half Birthday! - 18 months old!






Jessi had a great time decorating her cake with blueberries! (sugar free, traditional cake made with oat flour but still yummy to her!) I think Gino loved it more!

Papa's Visit

Papa's visit was terrific! Always goes by too fast but always such fun! We went to FAO Schwarz (which is closing on 1/23 in Las Vegas). He was wowed by the Forum Shops. The boys and Papa had a huge nerf dart battle and didn't want him to leave. Papa watched Gino earn his red stripe in TKD even earning 2 6.5's (thanks to big sister for the reverse attacks) Of course he loved to tease Patricia! Papa did dishes and cleaned the kitchen for me for a good hour and a half! He can move right in! We love you Papa!











Tracy and Damien visit

We really had a great time with Tracy and Damien. Damien found himself being called Nearly Uncle Damien or Almost Uncle Damien or just "D" to Gabriel who just couldn't remember his name but loved sitting on his lap or messing with him!! Jessi of course loved Aunt Tracy! I look forward to them returning!!!
