Pass the blog

Marco's been enjoying his summer. In fact, he has a whole life away from us! He regularly gets picked up from daycare by Grandma and Grandpa for day trips with the cousins, most recently Fairyland, Lake Temescal and Gilroy Gardens. And just last weekend, he spent two nights with Grammy at the cabin. What a lucky boy!

(Lucky parents too with two nights to ourselves in Sonoma!)

Alright... Go!

Please let me know if you think this video is HYSTERICAL. On a walk down for frozen yogurt with the neighbors, Marco and Avery came up with this game. We just watched in hysterics, tears streaming down our faces. Maybe it was the roadies...

Pizza ROI

We figure the breakeven on the oven is about 250 pizzas. We're fast approaching. We threw together a quick pizza dinner for Taki's birthday recently. 12 pizzas... four kids... 30 beers... just a regular Friday night at the Cecchins.

Marco has started calling his barbeque his "pizza oven." We have a real problem.

You can stretch your kids about an hour longer by popping in a movie. Heather, however, can not be stretched.

What happens at Grandma's...

Just got this message from Barbara, "Having a wonderful time. Better that you are not here."

Yard

The yard is looking amazing. Pictures don't do it justice. We're aaaaaalmost done. I highly recommend an ugly "before" and low expectations. I came home last week and literally screamed when I saw the lawn. Amazing.

Shoutout to Gina G. who took my frantic gardening call this week and immensely improved the yard. Thanks G!
