Yes, I am so bad. It has been one month since my last post. But listen-I have a good reason...I had a baby!! The last month has breezed by full of wonderful memories and yes, we have been getting some sleep. It seems that my little boy has been just what we hoped for-the perfect new member of our family. Frannie has been enjoying being the big sis and we are all adjusting to the new normal (i.e. no time for blogging). It seems that the changes in our lives this summer have been something that we will always remember. No time to catch-up, but here are a few highlights of the past month:
7/11/2011- Gabriele Luciano Volpe is born 9 lb 2 oz. Mom and Dad had an adventure in getting him here and were pleased with how perfect and healthy he is-Welcome to the Family Little Man!

Frannie continues to monitor her peas and other goodies growing this summer and enjoys taking care of her chicken. Murf is hanging in there too now that he is really the low man on the totem pole.

Frannie is thrilled to be at the Fair and Rodeo this year although we did skip the rodeo due to the new baby. She didnt mind b/c she got to see all the animals and hang out with them for a few days.

Gabe and Frannie share his first bath in the big tub. Frannie could'nt be happier to have a little brother to help take care of and share her life with.
Baby grows and grows. Gabe is learning how to stretch his legs and hold his head up like a champ. Here are a few pictures of the bear cub this last week.

I hope to keep posting more regularly now that life is sorting it self out for our family. Enjoy the summer and keep in touch
