Zac giggling

This is our 1st attempt to upload a video...hopefully it's viewable for everyone.
Zac is just starting to giggle and enjoys silly things such as blowing bubbles/raspberries on his belly which is evident from this video. I couldn't resist sharing this with our friends/family!

october...

my 1st Halloween! i am pretty sweet...

It's been a long time since our last post and we've been busy! Where did October go?!?! Granmare and Poppy left to head back to the Virgin Islands mid-month and we had a nice opportunity to visit with them while they stayed close by - we can't wait to visit them in December. Zac is already excited to go swimming with his Daddy in the warm waters (under a wide brimmed hat of course!)
We've ventured on all sorts of mini roadtrips and Zac seems to be enjoying them all. We've made it to CT a few times for short visits to see some of our friends and family. We had a nice visit with Zac's Gram and Grandpa a few weekends ago. Last weekend we ventured to Boston for the day to spend some time with Aunt Theresa. What a great day and an easy adventure - the train is only 2 blocks from us - so convenient!
Zac was a sweetpea for halloween and didn't mind being in the unbreathable costume for the afternoon. We went to a parade with some friends that we have met and Zac actually slept through a fair amount of it as did many of the newborns that were in attendance. Then we brought treats to Daddy's studio and visited his colleagues - we kidnapped Daddy and went to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants...Zac was a hit in his costume!
We are starting to meet more and more people and enjoying both play time and adult time. Daddy is so busy with school that it's hard for him to enjoy many of the activities, but we're looking forward to having him around for Christmas...under a palm tree!

baby varriale...

Congratulations to Keith and Angela on the arrival of your new baby boy!
After much anticipation and a ton of patience, Angela gave birth to Ben Hartle Varriale on Thursday, November 1st.
Ben was 9lbs. 1oz. - now that's a big boy!
Everyone is doing great and from the sound of Keith's voice just an hour or so after delivery - the three of them are on a cloud together. I'm sure there's room on that cloud for Lucy!
Can't wait to meet you, Ben!!!
