Thank you Easter Bunny...

(you know who you are:-) You're the best...you've provided lots of entertainment...and not with just Mr. Potato Head...seems to fit quite well on Carmella's face too:-)

Ride 'em Cowboy!

Rocco definitely has the 'Boy Gene'! It's all about sticks, stones, balls and CLIMBING!!!

A day at the park...

An absolutely delicious day in Washington today...didn't want to waste a minute...so off to the park to run and play and a picnic lunch...

Rocco thought he was really tricking me every time he 'faked' running away from me...oh if you could only hear the giggles that go with this photo!



Tree climbing

Rocco...he really hates being outside...can you tell??!!

All around on the Merry Go Round...

Gotta love that static! You're gorgeous darling:-)

Spring is here...don't blink!

Rocco with his new cut from the barber...shh...don't worry Rocco, I won't tell everyone you cried the whole time:-) But did that Tootsie Pop ever make things better!



Snack time...more?

Enjoying one of the first warm sunny days this spring

more beach time...

and more!

How time flies...

A lot has happened since my last post...Rocco has 'taken flight' with his new legs and Carmella has gone through some pretty big growth spurts developmentally...especially about what being a big sis' is all about! Rocco began walking about two months ago and Carmella was not happy about her brother getting all up in her business...all day long:-) She began to do her testing and trying to find her place (a few days of mac n cheese, applesauce on the walls, apple juice all over the floor...) and I'm VERY happy to say that we've got it figured out...for the moment any how! They both started playing with each other and it's the most endearing thing to hear them laughing with each other! My heart just about melted when Rocco gave Carmella a hug and kiss this morning when she first woke up and walked into the room...ah....thank goodness those special moments wash away all the screaming, diapers, laundry...:-) We are so truly blessed...thank you Jesus!!!

Story time



Okay..so he doesn't quite have table manners conquered

What happens when you leave alone a 2 year old and paints for 1.3 seconds!

Rocco growing up..every week is a new bruise somewhere!
