Lucy is 3 – Plus 2 Carnivals and Soccer

So many photos. I’m sorry but I’m just going to dump them in a virtual pile.
There is no way to do captions like this, but if you have a question, ask it in the comment section and I’ll reply.

ps –
Oscar learned to play Happy Birthday on the piano. Here is an early recording:

One More Birthday Event For Oscar

28 Sep 2012

In Oscar’s class, they celebrate all the birthdays for the month on the last Friday.


I baked some XL chocolate chip cookies. Kiera hooked me up with the deluxe packaging (thanks!!). I used some old green paper that I had left over from Christmas cards three years ago. I thought it struck a nice balance between snazzy and homespun. Mark said: “Dude, they’re 2nd graders. They won’t care”


That’s Oscar’s teacher Prudence, and Natalie. Her birthday was Sept. 6th.
(I was kicking myself that I didn’t figure things out… I should have written Happy Birthday Oscar & Natalie! Oh well, mental note for next year.)


The class sings Happy Birthday 3 times.


The first one is in English, the second in Italian, the third is “silly”. You can click this to see it larger.


Oscar probably enjoyed passing out the cookies even more than eating them.


See all those girls on the left? I Love them. I should have tried for a better pic of them, but time was flying, and I’m lucky to have got what I got!


I’m so proud of my son! Seven!


I think he has great classmates.


It was a quick peek into the school day that I don’t often get to see. They’re all such great kids, I wish I had time to hangout with them more!

Oscar’s B-Day Grand Finale

06 Sep 2012

Here are the last photos from a Very. Happy. Birthday.

Click any pic to see it a bit larger.


This was at breakfast. Oscar got what he asked for: an iPhone.
I know, I know, hold your horses. First of all, it’s not actually functioning as a phone (no sim card), although it does have internet. And, we didn’t go out and get it. It’s a hand-me-down from Mark, from when he upgraded to the 4S. He uses it to play games, and he is newly on Instagram (more on that in a future post).
He has been using it already, but now it’s “his”, to keep with him, manage, and not share with Lucy.

Not a single pic during the day. :( Oscar went to school. He said it was good. I picked him up, with chocolate milk in hand. We drove across town to get Lucy, which is our new normal thing. Then we came home and started cooking dinner.


Dinner.
With family, Nanu & Chief, and Cole & Kiera. Alex and Madie were at a Giants game, celebrating Alex’s birthday (Also the 4th – HBD!).


This is the shot Kiera got with her phone, as seen above. (We’re all a little camera phone / Instagram addicted around here lately. I love it.) And, there’s no photo, (what was I thinking?!) but we also had a visit from Lucy’s Godfather, Carlo, and his soon-to-be wife Flor. They helped us sing happy birthday.


So many candles for my little guy! Seven! Crazy.

P.S. A song for Oscar
