A visit from the Guamanians

Vince's dad (Jerry) and stepmom (Alicia) visited from Guam this last weekend. We really enjoyed spending time with them and it was fun to see Miles hanging out with his Guama and Guampa. Here are a couple pics of us at the park across the street.

Look out world...here comes trouble on three wheels!

After a very wet, cold spring, summer may finally be coming! We took advantage of our beautiful weather this weekend by getting outdoors.

The last couple days have been just about perfect in Miles’ eyes as he got to play with his buddy Nolan, pile rocks in his new sandbox, and cruise around the parking lot of Marcy’s school on his trike. He's not really into pedaling yet because he can get around much faster using this strange scooting method he’s mastered; it looks awfully uncomfortable to us but he seems happy, so who are we to argue.

Our little Picasso

Miles officially turned two and a half this week and is talking up a storm! He loves puzzles, "driving" the car, and anything to do with vehicles. He's also started singing for us...his ABCs, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Row Row Row Your Boat are staples of his act. The show stopper, however, is a song called, "I dig dirt."

Anyway, we realized that we hadn't posted anything on the blog in the last couple weeks, so here's a little glimpse at what we do around the Caruso house to amuse ourselves.

Enjoy.

1973 or 2008?

At 2 1/2 years of age, Miles is looking like a chip off the ol' block. A couple of Marcy's students even thought this pic of Vince was Miles. Silly children, Vince had way more hair than Miles does!

Che Caruso is off to Vegas!

So we're leaving in just a few minutes for Vegas. Miles is staying with Grandma and Grandpa Hewitt so that we can enjoy a few days of relaxation and a little bit of sunshine. He was very excited that he gets to go on a trip just like mommy and daddy.

Thought we'd share a funny picture with you....over the last couple years, Vince's students have made a tradtion of creating a new band t-shirt for any of the students who want to wear them. (This is how approximately 40 kids ended up wandering around Disneyland a few years ago with shirts that declared: Mr. Caruso is my hero.)

Below is the design that students created and voted on for this year's shirt. Ah, the creativity of our youth! Needless to say that the administration was not too keen on it (so it's back to the drawing board for a new design), but we still thought it was worth sharing. Hope you enjoy!
