Sara lost her first tooth today!

A little excited. :)

Moving???

If all goes well, then Giampiero will be returning from deployment in Septemberish. We are already starting the paperwork to get me and the kiddos there as soon as we can. That won't be until after he gets back. He needs to be in Germany to get the housing for us established first. I am excited, and nervous. If I seem a little emotional, I think you can understand.

The kids are in swim classes again. They are having so much fun! We are keeping super busy and trying to get things ready for the move.

I am done painting for awhile. I am back into charcoals and pastels. Now if only I can find the time before I am totally exausted to work on my art!

America is waving and saying BaBa for bye bye. She also starts waving when she sees pictures or videos of her daddy. She says PaPa when she sees him. It is nice that she now knows who he is.

Piero and Sara miss thier daddy a ton! Piero seems to be the one suffering the most. He talks about daddy all through the day. But he always says, "I'm so glad that Daddy was able to come home for a visit." Of course, I miss him too. The two weeks R&R was wonderful. I am so grateful for the time we had together. I think all relationships would improve if you act as if each moment together could be your last. You don't need to be a soldier to have your life cut short. Next time you start arguing over something silly, think about that.

Some random videos

I know I have been bad about updating the blog. I especially feel guilty because I have promised these videos to my honey for so long. I will make no promises, but try to do better.

The reason behind the madness

I know these are a bunch of videos and not all of them are GREAT or HILARIOUS, but I am posting them for Giampiero. He doesn't get to see the every day things that go on, so I am showing some of the things that I get to see everyday. Don't worry, I will not film the daiper changes. America is not 7 months old and sitting up on her own. She is really into solid foods and her brother and sister help feed her sometimes. Sara and Piero are now fixated on Scooby-Doo. At least they are both totally into it. Sara had already passed her facination with Peter Pan and Piero was still stuck on it, so we always had arguments about what to watch... not any more. Now it is unanimously shouted, "Scooby Dooby Doo"!
