1 wonderful year

First of all, Merry Christmas!!

Another year went by and looking back on 2008 we really have a lot to be grateful for.
Life surprised us with challenges and wonderful things. There has been a lot of tears of joy and sadness, hugs and kisses. We had ups and some not so up moments. We played, worked, and love one another.

In January my mom and dad moved to the States from Italy. They made an enormous sacrifice to be closer to us and we will be forever grateful to them. They left there home, their friends, their jobs, and all they had to move here. They are happy though, really happy. They miss home daily, but they are enjoy a stress free life with their "kids", and grandkids. They warmed up to the grandparents life, and the challenge that comes from spoiling kids!:)

In April Neve turned 2. we had a little party with my best friend and her family. it was her sweet daughter Alice's 1st birthday too. They are 364 days apart. We couldn't have planned it better!
Also, we wished my in-laws good luck for there "first" mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of LDS. We are so proud of them and very grateful for the wonderful example they are in our life and their strong testimony on the Savior. They are exceptional people with a great heart. We love them dearly, and we are blessed to have them as parents.

In June our wonderful baby boy Giacomo came to us. It was an amazing experience. He came quickly, with no much pain. He was healthy and so cute. There is not better thing in the world than a new baby.

In October we celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. It was simple, but we had a great time. Nate has always was so sweet, romantic, and more handsome than ever.

In November we went back to Denver for Thanksgiving. We loved to be back there with Nate's family. We had a great time with everyone. We loved walking through downtown, enjoy the wonderful sunsets of Colorado, play in the snow, make a puzzle and just sit and talk. We got to see Sarah and Steve's wonderful home, and eat Debbie's amazing food. We miss you all.

In December, we had a very relaxing Christmas. We were amazed on how grateful our little girl was for everything she received, and see Giacomo play with the wrapping paper! We loved play Santa, and see the joy on their faces.

We are healthy, and work is going great. We love each other more than four years ago, and we can't no smile when we look back at what we have accomplished so far. We are proud parents of amazing kids. We loved them more than anything, and we are so lucky to have them in our home.

Giacomo is now a little over 6 months. He started crawling at his 6 months birthday. He is an amazing little boy with lots of energies. He loves to play with Neve and follow her around. Just in the last couple of days he started standing on everything.

Neve is so sweet. She is a great helper around the house and with her little brother. She is still taking gymnastic classes and loves them. She also loves to do little art project, from drawing to painting. She is really good at talking both in english and italian.

We are excited to start a New Year. It will be fun to see what the future as in sort for us! We wish all of you a wonderful coming year, and hope all of your wishes come true. We love you and think of you ALL ALWAYS!

Happy 2009
