Camp fire fun

We headed to the local library last night for some camp fire fun. We listened to live music by a camp fire while eating popcorn and drinking apple cider. Then the group split up to either the quiet nocturnal night hike, or the rambunctious play. I am sure you are all wondering which group Dario picked, I know it was a tough choice, ha! Well they got glow sticks and played zombie games, tag, and a few other games. Then it was time for s'mores by the camp fire. It was a fun night!

Hiking in Ohio

The weather is getting cooler so it was time to check out a trail that is by us. The boys and I went in a nice hike and took a lollipop break in the middle! 

Love of Pancakes

Danilo is a huge fan of pancakes. He is a picky eater but will always chow down on pancakes. 

And.....he's off

Dario and I have been heading to the bike path each weekend together. It is a great to spend one on one time with him, while he gets his energy out. He has been working on riding his bike further and further. This weekend he was able to ride 1.5 miles, and we were both thrilled!

Dario's first Soccer Game

Dario played his first soccer game and it was exciting. He was thrilled to find out the teams shirt was orange and his name   and the nunber 5 was on the back. He had great team work, loved running back and forth, and enjoyed the game. When they took a break Dario said, "Come on, let's play so we can win!" Dario scored his first goal, and got many cheers and was so proud of himself. We are looking forward to our weekly games. 

Birthday Party Time

My college roommate was having a birthday party for her daughter, Avery. We were excited we lived close enough to celebrate this day. Dario and I headed to Pump it Up and then ran a bunch of errors, and even got to see Dario's cousin, Sophia who is going to be a big sister Monday. We had a great day!

Pizza time

Enjoying eating a pizza!

Beautiful day for a bike ride

Now that we live close to the bike path that is over 20 miles long and is paved and flat we decided it was a great place to bike ride. All the boys hopped on their bikes while I ran along side helping little ones out. Danilo is so happy his strider is blue and just loves it! Dario has been doing great building his confidence with a big boy bike with no training wheels. Everyone had so much fun. 

Kindergarten

Dario's first full day with all his classmates went great! He loved school and said it was fun. He went to the school library and checked out a book and was excited to bring it home. So, happy everything went well. Tonight he said," I am so excited to go to school tomorrow!"

Off to a great start!

Danilo started a new daycare and to our surprise is loving it! When he goes to bed at night he ask if he is going to school and he has a huge smile when we say yes. 

Dario is transitioning into Kindergarten. Here he is going in for a full day with half of his classmates. He of course had a Darth Vadar backpack and t-shirt. He was so excited to start school and had a wonderful day. He thought eating in the cafeteria was so cool! Dario will start his first real day tomorrow. 

Hanging Out

Happy Danilo

Ice cream fun

Dario tried superman ice cream and was in love and Danilo had his first cone! 

Being funny

County Fair

We headed to the Athens county fair where we rode lots of rides, saw many animals, watched some races, and of course enjoyed cotton candy. Danilo rode his first ride alone, and ate cotton candy for the first time. 

Hey, you!

It was a nice cool morning on the front porch. Dario was being funny and cute!
