The Ark Preschool Spring Program

Scenes from Massimo's preschool Spring Program...they did "Bop Til You Drop", "Going on a Bear Hunt", and "The Penguin Dance". From last year to this year was a great improvement...Massimo seemed to follow along a little better and not run around the stage shaking his booty like last year! He really enjoyed "performing".
















Massimo with his wonderful teacher Ms. Lea. We will miss her as he will be going to a different preschool this year. We have loved her so much!

Mother's Day

This year we had a beautiful Mother's Day. My mom and I treated ourselves to a mani/pedi together and we celebrated at my sister's for dinner. The kids made me a beautiful frame of their handprints...and they show you here who's who!









The boys play with cars and Abi chases the boys on the scooters! Massimo loves to play with Damian and do
everything he does.






Our Trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay

Fun at the SF Aquarium by the Bay

We took a trip to the SF Aquarium by the Bay today to satisfy Massimo's constant wish to "see the ocean and fishies". At the end of the day we asked Massimo if he had fun (yes, of course he says) and his most favorite thing was the...scuba diver! Yes, that's all he talked about when we asked him what he saw. Of course when we jogged his memory and talked about the fish and what we did he enjoyed "finding Nemo" (one of his favorite movies - and where the fascination of scuba divers all started...don't be surprised if that's what he ends up being for Halloween!) and touching the Stingray and sharks...and outside of the aquarium he got to see trains (Bart), trolleys, buses, and of course the ocean! It was all very exciting for him to be in a big city like that with so much variety around him...so many things to see. The twins loved it, too. Abrianna got to interact a lot more since she is walking and more able, it was a little hard to let Dante crawl so he got to snack and check it all out from stroller view. He did get out at the end in the toddler area and got to touch the sea urchins and he loved that so much! He got really excited watching all the fish swim by. It was a fun day (and tiring chasing after at least 2 and sometimes 3).
