Aunt Doris flew into to Dulles airport and we picked her up and she stayed with us for two days...the boys were ecstatic to have a new playmate.

Here they are feeding her a very yummy meal

We then drove up to Lancaster to visit with my parents a little bit...I wasnt so good at documenting with the camera because I was a single parent and I was trying to not lose a child...

Here Rocco was enjoying a fluffer nutter (peanut butter and marshmallow fluff) It doesnt have to be that messy but with him it always is.

Aunt Doris and Roman got in lots of snuggles. He has started to call every "older" woman "Nanny" (translation-granny) and so was very confused with Aunt Doris and Gramma in the same house but he loved them both and wanted them all the time (since he knows he can get away with a lot more with them-so little but yet so smart)

The Wedding

Rocco and his cousin Daniel posing in their tuxes...dont they look handsome -- I realize that I am a little biased but any little boy looks cute in a tuxedo right?

Thank goodness for little Brooklyn..not sure if I spelled her name right but she kept those boys in order and looked absolutely stunning in the process...

The gorgeous bride and the gorgeous mom walking down the isle....no need to say anything else here....

and yes, Roman was at the wedding too and had a ball with his cousin Ruby..except when he hugged her so tight and then fell on top of her as they both crashed to the ground and Rubys head got knocked a good one..not my proudest moment as a mom but he was trying to be loving...so it was hard to reprimand him for excessive zeal and gusto in the hug giving..anyway I think Ruby's thick and gorgeous hair gave some protection and all survived the ordeal.

Here is the fam...with the picturesque lake in the background...it really was so fun and I am a little sad that it is over...its not every day I get my hair and nails done and get to wear a pretty dress..in fact its only when I am in weddings...

Milestones...part deux

Rocco started soccer this weekend...

He got the general idea and was practicing getting the ball in the goal

After about 30 minutes of practice games where the kids just sort of played around kicking there ball--organized chaos-- (it is the Under 5 group after all) they actually put these kids in a game situation...and here our son finally got the ball and was dribbling down the field to score...the pride on my face was overflowing...

uh oh...into each life some adversity arises...

and takes what you hold dear and runs away with it....you know it is an interesting conundrum because until this point we have taught him that sharing is good and taking things from someone else is bad...so we shouldnt be surprised when he yells in frustration "Hey! he took it from me!!" Guess we are going to have to start teaching the finer points of sportsmanship now...
