The weather was so nice outside, today, that we went to a schoolyard to shot some hoops.

While shopping at Jewel today they announced over the loudspeaker that you could get your flu shot there. I had been contemplating if I should get one and I felt like that was my answer. So, I went over to the pharmacy and got one. Since we had never gotten a prescription there they gave me a $25 gift card...it was a win/win. Then Eric played a little guitar for us after he got home from his lesson.

This is a new table from my parents. Gianni insists that mommy and daddy eat at
the big table and he and Gabriele eat at the kid table...

I was trying to get a photo of Cole making pumpkin muffins for a school project...when he got photo-bombed.

Annie slept on the couch last night & Marzipan, the cat, in a case of middle-of-the-night cat insanity, jumped on her face while she was sleeping. We told her that, if anyone asked her at school what had happened, she should tell them she got in a knife fight on New Year's Eve.

Back to school - Gianni is very excited. This is his new teacher
(paraprofessional). He responds to him so well - maybe because he is a boy and
he is the son of Gianni's teacher.

Being goofy...this usually happens every time they see me pointing a camera at them.

After the game was over. They lost their game, but it was just awesome to watch the girls play on a high school basketball court.

I hadn't taken a picture today...so, here is a photo of the recipe that Dylan and Cole made for dinner tonight.

During the first day of tournament play for Annie's team. They came into the tournament seeded in the second place position but lost both games today, so will play in a consolation game tomorrow.

Happy Birthday my sweet boy

Vaughn helped Dylan today by looking over his grad school applications for him. And, then we headed off to Gabe's 2nd birthday party.

Our whole family thoroughly enjoys the time we get to spend with Tabitha and Wyatt in the afternoons when Nathan leaves for work before Andrea gets home from work.  Annie & I went there after her basketball practice tonight, after Jim & Shel had already been there for a while. They were watching an episode of Mickey Mouse Club where there's a pajama party that is interrupted by a scary sound outside. Annie, Shel, Jim and Tabitha were having fun overreacting to the scary noise every time it happened.

Gianni loves this shark towel - even wears it to bed! : ) It was a Christmas
present ... from Maureen??

Marla-January 4, 2013

We went out to dinner at Pal Joey's in Batavia. First picture is of a table magician doing sleight of hand card tricks for us. And, then Cole and Vaughn both got free desserts because while we were waiting for a table they saw a sign that said that if they joined the text message club they would get a free dessert...so, they both did it.

Gabriele loves to brush his teeth

I took a drive to Montgomery to take Cole/Vaughn's broken violin bow in to get repaired.
