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 [...]

Merry Christmas Eve
Today started just like any other day. Matteo awoke around 5:45; I changed his diaper, sat with him as he finished a bottle and then he went back to la-la land. Christopher awoke at 7 am – this is sleeping in for him and us. He drank his milk, watched an episode of Dora and [...]

Happy Halloween
Mike and I find great joy in Halloween. Back in the day, we would put much thought into what costumes we would wear on that one special night. Though we no longer hang out at the all-too-popular-and-sometimes-dangerous Halloween party in the Castro, we hang in our own ‘hood, which consists of older, married couples, younger [...]
