Kids say the craziest things
After lunch today, I took Matteo to the toilet so he could, well, you know, do his business. When he finished, as we were about to flush, he said, “Bye, poopy. I will miss you.” When we got home, and I was taking him out of his car seat, he said, “Want a piece of [...]
Self-imposed time out
This morning Matteo spent two minutes in time out for scratching Christopher’s face. Thirty minutes later, after hitting Christopher, he walked himself over to the chair and sat. As he sat down, Mike said, “That’s right, you better sit in time out.” We walked into another room and chuckled. I returned to take this photo.
Matteo’s 2nd birthday

As usual, we had a great time – the calm before the storm! [...]

Spitting image
Matteo’s mom recently sent us a picture of her when she was about Matteo’s age as pictured in this photo.
We had everything, but the bloodhounds snapping at our rear ends!
We arrived in Tahoe on Tuesday afternoon after a three-hour uneventful drive. When arriving, we got settled in our new house, one that we would occupy for five nights. The first night, Jason made dinner – we ate cheddar cheese soup, bread and salad. Prior to our arrival, Mike and I made large pans of [...]
