Thamma's Visit

Thamma came to visit while Mommy was away for work...we were working too hard to take too many pictures but we had lots of fun!


Some happy snuggles.






Laundry time.




More playtime.



Face grabbing.



On the last day Nico gave Thamma a big hickey on her cheek as a going away present.

Playing Catch-Up - Summer 2010 So Far

It's been a really busy summer - so busy that we've barely had anytime to get all of our fun pictures onto the blog. Here are a bunch of pictures all at once.

Nico has been spending most of the summer playing with Ayi during the days.

As you can see, they've been having lots of fun.





Meanwhile, Luca has been putting in lots of long hours at the office...here he is getting picked up at quitting time.






Sometimes Han Han Guh Guh comes over to play...we love that!



Nico has been a more active boy these days...he loves a nice soothing bath.



Getting excited about spending more independent time.





"Did I just do that?"



We've even been traveling this summer. Here's Luca with his friend OJ, taking in an especially good episode of Dora. They last met when they were about 6 months old.



Playing in Central Park.



We've also been having fun with our PEPS friends. Nico is still on the sidelines for the most part, but he is getting more interested in everyone.



Lot's of fun water play.






Luca has started soccer practice at both school and on the weekends.



Daddy gets a work out too...



Here is the entire Toddler class at pre-school making a mad dash down the hill.







Showing some good form on dribbling skills.



Taking a well deserved break.



Uniforms and everything...





Water activities have also been a big part of ther. After spending much of June in the 60's and 70's, summer finally arrived and it was hot enough to venture out to water parks.











And the beach.
