Gia turns 1!
Back to my tales of visiting Ian, Andrea and Gia! It can be summed up easily enough by simply saying that Gia is growing up fast and is more adorable than ever, especially now that her personality is really shining through. She says “wow” all the time, loves to clap, initiates peek-a-boo, loves the song “itsy bitsy…

Crazy August
We’re closing in on the last few weeks of summer and we’re packing a ton of stuff into the last couple of weeks. I think we planned our summer this way anticipating that I’d be completely finished with my thesis by now…well, it was a nice dream. Actually I’m so close to finishing that I…
