First snowstorm of the year!

Spent with Dorian's new friend Sam, he lives in our building.

Giacomo's 2nd & 3rd attempts at writing, which he stuck with stickers to a big long block!

"If you have a message please bring it to me and I will write your name on it."

"Spongebob was going to the Crusty Crab and he was going to do his job making Crabby Patties" (?)(!)

Giacomo's FIRST attempt at writing!

"I gotten (?) a surprise for you, but I will not tell you what it is, but I will tell you when you come, ok?"

Sunrise Flash!

Dorian's friends party

OK, we have soooooo many birthday parties that we go to, that I cannot remember who's this was! JP took Dorian, usually I do, but this time he did. Anyhoo - Dorian was having a great time, jumping around for 2 hours.

Uncle Jonny & Aunt Amy

come to visit and we take them on a tour of Newport, and the new pedestrian walkway that connects Hoboken to Jersey City.

Giacomo's school

Giacomo's school recently moved to a beautiful space right on the Hudson River, with gorgeous views of the river and NYC. It was helping parent day, and here are some shots of the day. I especially love the attendance chart, when the child is in class, they must take their picture and turn it around, so their face is showing - otherwise the back of their head is showing. There is also a beautiful loft that the kids go up to when they have their class meeting, or when they want to read.

The Met

A nice visit to The Met one day. The top shot is interesting because the security guard told JP to hold Giacomo up so that he could see his reflection in the Knights face, as if he were the Knight!

The Berkshires for XMas

This Xmas we went to The Berkshires in Mass. Great Barrington, Stockbridge, North Adams. We went to many museums, Mass MOCA, The Norman Rockwell Museum, The Berkshire Museum. It was a great little vacay, hope to get back there again soon!

Our little Christmas

Here we are opening the presents at our little nuclear family Christmas celebration. Baby Jesus done good this year!!

Ice Skating

Here are the boys ice skating, or rather ice wobbling, at the rink in Newport, Jersey City. I remained on the sidelines, for fear of breakage or twistage! Jampi, of course, is a pro!
