Look Who's Driving

Tony's new evening ritual is to let Luca "drive" around the block with him when he gets home from work.  This kid is obsessed with cars!

Friday Fun at Kidspace

Finally got to visit with my Amat friend Cathie and her 16 month old daughter Molly when they invited us to Kidspace in Pasadena.  What a place!  The only time I "remember" going was when I was not much older than Luca, so I certainly don't remember much.  Needless to say, we will be back often with Luca!

Luca at the Car Museum = Kid in a Candy Store

Knowing how much Luca LOVES all things having to do with Cars, Tony came up with the great idea to take him to the Petersen Automotive Museum.  We had to drag him away from the giftshop!
HERE are all the pics.

Go, Go, Go Joseph!

Gregory reprises his role as "Joseph" in Top Billing Entertainment's production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolr Dreamcoat.  And this time?  His coat glows in the dark!

Del Mar 2012

Del Mar Opening Day and our FIRST overnight away from Luca!  Nonna assures us that he didn't ask about us once...
We had so much fun at the annual Del Mar Eve party and then I got to hang out with Monika at the races!

HERE are all the pics from Del Mar this summer.

Weekend in Pittsburgh

Sister Louise invited the whole family to a picnic at her convent this summer, so Mom, Dad,  Cat, and I decided to represent the West Coast Angelini's!  Luca was a travel champ, but Cat got MVP of the weekend for agreeing to travel with us!  We met mom and dad on Saturday morning, stopping first at Primanti's, of course, then on to Joey's for a backyard party with the Ferraros.  Here is Joey putting Luca down for a nap...in the pool...!  

The picnic was so much fun and so wonderful to have sooo many Angelinis together in one place!  HERE are more pics and below are Luca and Stephano playing some ball...

Turned Around at 30 Pounds

Now that Luca has finally tipped the scales at 30 pounds, he gets to sit facing FORWARD in the car!  It's like a whole new world for the little guy!
