Aunt Sweetheart

This year, Mike proposed to Mariesa.  Jeff and I are stoked.  And I think I can speak for most of the Cecchins when I say how excited we are to welcome Aunt Mariesa into the family. 

But there just may be one little broken heart in our midst, a young boy who once suggested on a hike, "Everyone choose a partner!  I'll take Mariesa.  Uncle Mike, you can have the dog." 

On the same trip, the little lovelorn clepto stole a drawer pull from her family's home.  He called it a treasure, but I think it was a little keepsake.

So, when I told Marco that Uncle Mike had proposed to Aunt Mariesa and now she was going to be his real aunt, my loquacious son was quiet.  "Well, what do you think about that?" 

"I just don't know what to think, Mom."

Here are a few pics from our Meet the Family party.  :)

Get your Kicks

Soccer season at Bladium - check.  20 hours until our next stop - t-ball! 



 I think we can agree that these pics are stellar.  :|



Skinny Bones

A Cecchin in skinny jeans... watch out world.

Comments from the peanut gallery:

Marco: They keep trying to come off my butt!
Uncle Tim: When did we stop calling them nutters?
Aunt Sara: Are you sure he's a Cecchin?
Uncle Tim: He's holding food, therefore, a Cecchin.
Uncle Mike:  Smart to take a picture, that ain't lasting long.

Hit the Links

Jeff took Marco for his first (9-hole) round of golf.  Taki and Niko completed the foursome.  Even though Jeff and Taki didn't actually get to take a swing, they had giant smiles from ear to ear.  I know they're excited at the prospect of their future golfing with the boys.

...and a relaxing lunch in the sun with corn dogs and beer surely helped.
