Too Busy to Write About It

Yeah yeah, I know my last post was like 2 months ago... I even had to look it up to see what the heck it was that I posted on!  Oh yes, Zoë's birthday!  Wow, that was like forever ago now.  Well, it turns out we've had a great summer here in Boston.  It was super warm and sunny for a lot of the summer, and we spent lots of time out by the pool, and exploring around.  That is, of course, when we weren't working on weekends!  Mike and I have both been signing up for extra hours over weekends this summer, so it's been very busy.
Some highlights of our summer include multiple opportunities for the kids to hang out with their New York cousins Amelia and Melina!  They came to visit for a few days so we could all play in the pool, and then we were able to see them a few weekends ago when we drove to New York for Michelle's graduation party, congrats Michelle!  Here's some of the highlights from what I can remember of the last two months.....

everyone getting some story time, cuddling in Vince's bed (with Amelia, Melina, Zoë, and Vince)

 Everyone scream for Ice Cream!

 Zoë plays elephant with the pool noodle (with Aunt Hilde and Amelia)

 We were able to celebrate Melina's birthday when we visited New York!

 This is a typical site when Melina gets around her baby cousin Luca (or any babies for that matter).  She takes good care of him, she'll make a good mommy!

Zoë got all dolled up for Michelle's graduation party

Early this summer Zoë also had her first dental visit, you can tell how thrilled she is....

 Luca gave his first 'thumbs up' pose

And sometime in the last few days Luca figured out how to sit up on his own!
