To you and yours

This is the backyard. Or a Pottery Barn catalog. Really it's both, we should send in a submission or something.
Christmas day with the Ricco/Zampieri's! It was a b-e-a-utiful day so we were able to keep the party outside for the most of it. Pictured here (starting from furthest away moving counter clockwise): Marth, Eileen, Nora & Sebastian, Aldo, Maria, baby Aldo, Nicolas and Alex! Not pictured: big Alex, and Anthony (the Uncle not the brother.) So that's 2 Aldo's, 2 Alex's and 2 Anthony's. One would think we were vain or unoriginal or just ran out of names...
Eileen is also 8 mon. preggers so sometime soon will run into this naming situation again.


A beautiful sunset after a beautiful day. I ran around in shorts and a t-shirt the whole time, and while it was comfortable, I've realized what a sickly shade of pale I've become. A week in Miami hasn't even begun to fix this yet either...guess I'll get enough of that soon.
