Carrots!

Mateo loves carrots!

Tavio's First Visit To The Dentist!

Yesterday Tavio went to the dentist for the first time!  He did a great job.  Sal and I were so proud of our little man.  He is really growing up!

The sunglasses crack me up!

Such a big boy!

Mateo ~ 4 months old!

BBQ!

Last Saturday, we had a BBQ with some of Sal's high school friends.  It was so nice to get all the kids together.

Our new patio set...finally assembled!

A quick pic before the guests arrive!

Julia & Tavio

Some of the kids enjoying their dinner!

Essex!

Earlier today, we walked around downtown Essex.  The weather was beautiful and Tav loved watching the sailboats.

A Play Date With Julia!

Yesterday, Tav and Julia had a play date at Peckham Park.  These two can go for hours and hours without getting tired.  

They are so cute together!

Tav - showing off.

Mateo - out cold!

Hanging By The Pool!

This past weekend we took advantage of the great weather and spent some time at my sister's pool.

Just testing the water

I think he likes it!

Practicing with Daddy

Sports Camp!

This past week, Tavio went to sports camp.  Camp was every morning for an hour and 15 minutes.  Just long enough for these 3 and 4 year olds!  Tavio was hesitant at first, but became more comfortable as the week went on.

Day 1 - he is not too sure about this.

Day 2

Acting silly with the cone on his head!

Day 3 - His best day! 

He really enjoyed playing basketball

Day 4 - Excited to go to sports camp!

But it was raining out, so the camp was indoors.

Being indoors completely threw Tavio (and most of the other kids) off

Receiving his certificate and giving coach Erin a high 5!

A Day At The Beach!

As a child, my parents took me to Misquamicut, RI almost every weekend during the summer months.  Sal and I would like to continue this tradition - and go as often as possible.  I hope the kids love it as much as we do!

Tav... a little hesitant at first.

Mateo's first time at the beach

My boys!

One of my favorite pictures!

Swimming Lessons

Last Thursday, Tavio went to his first swimming lesson...hopefully things get better :)

Tav seemed more comfortable by the end of the lesson.
We will see how next week goes.  Stay tuned...
