Pictures

...because I'm too busy watching the World Cup to write....

This was a gift (the shirt, not the baby) from a good friend of the family (not like in a mafia sense - an actual friend of our actual family). I figure the message is pretty clear....


Isa reading a book to her "cousin" Greta. Ummm, actually she isn't reading it, but she has it memorized so it's as if she reads it. I'm hoping she always can remember everything in her books so that she gets straight A's and gets a full-ride to William & Mary. Just like her Dad. Sort of. Only without the whole "remembering everything in all of his books and getting straight A's and a full-ride." And Ana probably wouldn't mind if she didn't go to William & Mary. But other than that, it's EXACTLY THE SAME!


Isa adores Sof. Sof adores Isa. I adore both of them. Ana adores the three of us. The three of us adore Ana. It's really a state of adoration. Don't you adore it?

By the way, what's up with Dad taking pictures of his kids wearing shirts saying how great Dad is?


Isa playing dress up with her cousin Lucci. Apparently in Ana's family the kids are adorable - I guess it's a genetic thing. Not sure why she married into my cesspool of genes....


Isa enjoying yet another meal of fresh pasta. In case you didn't know it, in addition to all the dulce de lecce, sweets, meat and wine, Argentina is also the land of excellent fresh pasta. Please note the t-shirt (thanks to her great Uncle Pete) - while in California this shirt may not be accurate, I'm comfortable that it's true with any kid she runs into in Argentina!


Sofia practicing rolling over. This photo was taken before she had become adept at it. By the way, this is her plan pen in which she spends all her time trying to crawl and get away from me while I blog away... Oh shit - where'd she go????

Sofia just chillin' like a villain, listening to Bob Dylan. She's good at this. This photo was taken when we got settled in - so she's grown a little since then (it's been a month). Now she has a ponytail, and prefers to rock out to Santana or tango to Carlos Gardel.



Isa eating Argentine cookies. Apparently her abuela built up this idea in Isa's head that Argentina was the land of treats. Well, she wasn't exactly wrong....

Sunset view from our apartment. Isa wants to paint a picture of it because she is very inspired by Georgia O'Keefe (thanks to her teachers at Franklin Montessori in DC). This is the only actual picture of Buenos Aires - that we have taken so far....
