VBS 2012

We did it!  This week we had VBS at church.  My friend Angela & I taught together and neither of us had ever done it before.  None of our kids were old enough to go, but since we taught they have a special curriculum for the teachers' kids.  We were both a little overwhelmed before it all started, but thank God we did it and without any major disasters.  We had to be there every morning w/ all our kids at 8:30.  It kind of made me laugh as I wonder what the parents thought when they came to drop off their kids in our room and saw all our kids, babies & double strollers.  I felt like between the 2 of us we had our own VBS class!  One of Annalisa's favorite parts was when the 4 big girls got to hold hands and walk to class every morning.  I can't believe I'm calling my little Daniela a big girl :(

She's here...baby sister Gemma Perut! It's only 4 months later, but that's ok. She went to the Dr. yesterday for her 4m check up and she's pretty big...15 lbs and I forgot how many ounces. She's not doing much but EATING (can you tell) and she rolled over for the first time a couple weeks ago.

"family picture"

Annalisa called me and said, "Mommy can you come take a picture of us. This is our family picture". She is the mommy, Daniela is the nonna (although they often fight about these titles), and these are their daughters (from L to R):
Andrea, Libby, Ella, Flowery, Drowsy, Alice, & Elena (not pictured are Belle, Sydney, & Antonella).
