Life in the crazy lane!

Viva l'Italia. Giuro che qui, nel cuore dell'America, ci sono piu' bandiere americane che persone, cosi' noi per essere anticonformisti, abbiamo la bandiera italiana che sventola fuori!
Giulia con Mr. Kenny, notare il caschetto della bici, che lei religiosamente si mette per fare i suoi giri in moto.
Grandma Mary and Megan came to visit from Sacramento. We had a nice time and Megan really won the girls' hearts by giving them lots of playtime and manicures and pedicures... They loved every minute of it.
Job well done! I can't believe Megan is such a grown woman!
Isabel on Shar. Giulia is taking the real horseback riding lessons, but she always ends it a couple minute early, so Isabel can go for a spin. Giulia is very protective and loving towards her little sister most of the time, and it warms my heart.

Here are the ballerinas at the studio!! This is place is a girl's dream, all pink and with mirrors. They love it!
Trying to figure out what everyone else is doing...
Because Giulia is at school for most of the day, I have to keep Isabel entertained. She helps me with all my chores and we have fun, but I can't compete with Giulia, who gets all the attention when she comes home.

Chocolate amaretto cake, good to the last drop!

Giulia's first day of Preschool... What a milestone! After much thought, we decided to send her to Xavier Catholic school. She loves it. She comes home every day very excited and with something to share with her sister. Isabel is Giulia's biggest fan, here she's showing all her support!



Not the best picture of Giulia, but she was so proud of the little gap in her mouth, she's showing everybody!

Isabel was so into ballet that today we are starting ballet lessons. She feels like she's such a big girl and can hardly wait!
