a little bit of this and that

We have had a lot going on lately, lots of fun stuff and in addition to everything, we're gearing up for our annual trip to the motherland. This is my mess that in the next two days I will fit into 1 suitcase and 3 carry-ons. Wish me luck.

Olivia went to a tea party birthday party and they made these adorable ladies' hat as a fun activity and favor.

Mario joined the girls in our nook via the highchair which he loves. He's not really eating food yet regularly but he loves sitting in there when we're all eating. Seems kind of cruel to eat in front of him, but we keep him occupied with toys. And he's always amused when the girls are in there with him.

Someone loves to be carried around on walks with daddy and the girls.

Waiting to pick up Sofia from school and these two sometimes share a nap. So sweet.
