Stop The Press!

Both Elizabeth and Justin had their pictures in the newspaper a couple of weeks ago. The newspaper (Corrire Canadese - A Italian newspaper For Italians living in Canada) featured a story about a recent get together of Southern Ontario Tuscan Canadians for the celebration of "La Befana"... La Befana is a character in Italian folklore the goes around giving good children gifts on Jan 6th. Legend has it that back in the days just before Christ's birth. Local astrologers came to her door asking for directions to where the Christ child was born. She was unsure.. They asked her to come along for the journey, she declined.. Days later she changed her mind and went looking for the Christ child but never found him... So every year around Christmas time she makes her way to the children of the world giving gifts hope to one day find the Christ child.

The newspaper had a picture of the Elizabeth drawing La Befana and a second picture of Luca's aunt Louise reading the children the story. Both Justin and Elizabeth were in the second picture.

Christmas 2006

Christmas has come and gone for another year... Of course Santa out did himself again this year (thanks to Tricia)... The kids had a great time.. Christmas eve with Oma & Opa and Christmas Day with Nunna and Nonno. Unfortunality it was a green Christmas here in Southern Ontario... Maybe next year..

Been A While

Yes its been forever since I updated my blog... Finding the time is becoming more and more difficult... We're in the process of finishing our basement so most of the computer is in boxes, so that doesn't help.

Anyhow here are some different pictures of recent events.. Starting from
Justin's second birthday to Halloween. Enjoy and I promise to update the
site more often (where have we heard that before?)

Justin Gets A Beener!!!!

Last Week Justin Finally Went In For His First Haircut.... Tricia Was Telling Me To Bring Him In And Was Giving Me Detailed Instructions As To How She Wanted His Hair Cut.. I Finally Said "Forget This, You Take Him".... Well She Did.. And When She Came Home Her First Statement Was "It's A Good Thing I Took Him Because If You Would Have Come Home With This Haircut I Would Have Killed You!"... Haha Justin Was Good During The Process, But He Looks Like A Completly Different Boy.. Hah.
