Moving to Italy is expensive! Here's how we are going to save money: kids ride free in suitcases! :-)

Penguin alert!
James' parents came to town along with our nephew Jacob. We went to the Shedd Aquarium and had a GREAT time. It was virtually empty, and the kids were able to explore lots of new things, including these cool penguin suits!
Grandpa and Oma
Grandpa (looking so much smarter with these new glasses!) and Oma (looking smart AND beautiful) at the wedding.
+ ones
Here we are with our "+ ones." Unfortunately, Nick's wife, Sunny, was sick that day! And Marco didn't bring anyone. What a good-looking crew nonetheless!
5 kids
We recently went to Virginia to attend Chiara's cousin Tory's wedding to a beautiful girl named Tanya. It was a great time, but quite the whirlwind! The family band left Chicago EARLY on Friday morning, and went home on Sunday! Lots of driving, but the kids were superstars.
Anyway, all four of Chiara's siblings were also at the wedding! Photo op!!! We even did it without our mother yelling at us to do so!
Walk-a-thon
Norah's school held a fundraising "walk-a-thon" where the kids had to walk around the track (the older ones do 5 miles!) and they have tons of fun activities, a picnic, etc. Here is Norah with some of her school friends.
4 Months Old!
Name: Susannah
Age: 4 months
Weight: 17 lbs!!!!
I like: sitting in the Bumbo seat, swatting at things, sucking on my hands, and watching Norah and Luca, and being tickled
I can: Stand up on Mommy and Daddy's laps, reach for toys and put them in my mouth, and sometimes replace my nuk!
