Happy New Year’s Eve
Today brings a close to 2009. What a great year this was for us… Let us reflect on some big accomplishments, a few met milestones, and one huge life-changing event. 1. 2009 would not be so special if it were not for the arrival of Matteo, the little boy who added more love and laughter [...]

This was Matteo’s second haircut. After parking – we got Doris Day parking I might add – Mike took Matteo out of the car, and [...]
