More from Costa Rica...

...plus Jonah's 5th birthday and Cape Cod.

Here are the last 2 sets of pictures from our family trip to Costa Rica.  These sets are from the last couple of days that we spent down around San Jose.  We visited La Paz Waterfall Gardens, took a ride on an aerial tram through the rainforest, and spent a day at InBioparque.

This is the link to the first set.

And this is the link to the second set.

We got home from Costa Rica just in time to celebrate Jonah's 5th birthday.  Can't believe he's 5!  Here are some pictures from his party.

And then, it was time to head to Cape Cod.

Two sets of photos...Number 1....and.....Number 2.

Enjoy!  More to come...

Costa Rica - Family Time (Part I)

OK, that last set was all about Daniela's research photos.  This time it's family pictures.  Most of the pics are from our days spend between the Laguna del Lagarto Lodge, where we were staying, and the Maquenque Eco Lodge, which had a pool.  Fun times.

Nothing fancy, just links to pictures....

Picture Set 1
Picture Set 2
Picture Set 3
Picture Set 4

Still have more pictures from our time in Costa Rica, but they'll have to wait for now.

Enjoy these in the meantime and more to come.

Research in Costa Rica!

There are no kid pictures associated with this post!  No kid pictures.  I repeat, no kid pictures.  But there are pictures from our trip to Costa Rica (except that only Daniela was there at first and so these are really only a sample of the hundreds of pictures she took before we all showed up)! 

Our big adventure this summer was going down to Costa Rica.  Daniela and two of her colleagues got an NSF grant to do research in NJ and Costa Rica on bugs and plants and microbes and other stuff that I should probably know much more about at this point.  Since I don't, please get in touch with Daniela and I'm sure she'd be more than happy to tell you all about the research.  Daniela and our cousin Shirel (and 2 other profs plus about 7 students) stayed at the beautiful Laguna del Lagarto Lodge during most of July doing research in the rain forest.  We (me, the boys, and Randi) went down for the last 12 days, but these two sets of pictures are from the time before we showed up.

Here's the first set of pictures.

And here's the second set of pictures.

Enjoy and more to come.

August 2010....

Sorry, but no Costa Rica or Cape Cod pics for now.  Patience.  The way I get these pictures posted it will likely be October before the Costa Rica pics (and other summer pics) are ready.  In the meantime, enjoy these pics from earlier this summer.

Is May summer?  If so, here is a set of pics from May.  Spending time with the family at Jones Beach.

Still from May...cupcakes and funny faces!

Moving on to June, Daniela and I got fancied up and headed to the annual Kean Gala.  Super fun.  This set has a few pictures from our evening at the Gala, plus pics of the best, most super adorable two little boys in the whole wide world.  I'm not biased at all!

Our Little Man also graduated from pre-k in June.  Yes, we make quite the production out of pre-k graduation here in Jersey.  Robes, ceremony, diplomas...the whole 9 yards!  This set of pics includes graduation pictures (which happened to be the same night as the Kean Gala), camping at a farm in Connecticut, and Daniela and Allison's day at the NYC Botanical Gardens.

And now a more recent picture:

The Roses stopped by for a visit on their way back to D.C.  Good to see the fam and spend a little time catching up.

Enjoy these pics for now and as usual, more to come soon...if soon means a couple of months from now!

I'm Sorry Momma...

No, not trying to quote Eminem.  Just trying to apologize to my Momma for having a slacker of a son.  She came out for a wonderful visit in April and I promised I would post pictures from her trip...and then weeks went by...and still no pictures....more weeks, still no pictures...and now here we are about 2 months later and I'm finally posting a link to the pictures from her trip out here.  So, I'm sorry Momma.

But before the pics...how about some butt boosting jeans?

Oh, here is the link to the pictures.

And, since it's been so long, here are a few recent pics of the boys...

Star Wars!!!!

OG the little ham.

 
Canoe time!!!

Enjoy!  More to come...

Almost the end of March...

...but need to catch up with photos from January through just last weekend.

Let's start with Oliver's birthday.  He turned 2 in January and this year (unlike last year) he stayed awake for his birthday celebration!

Also in January, we headed into NYC to the Natural History Museum for an afternoon of dinosaurs with Heather and Benjamin.

And after January, came February.  A couple of snow days, plus Boys Week 2010 (Daniela was back in Washington for a conference).

In early March, we took a family trip up to Nashua to visit the cousins.  Fun, fun, fun.  If you are offended by photos of babies taking a bath, DO NOT LOOK AT THIS SET OF PHOTOS!!!  You've been warned.  That said, if you're not a sick, twisted individual, then you'll love the super duper cute pics of Oliver and Nitzann.

And finally, just last weekend, we celebrated Grandpa Pat's 91st Birthday.  How about them genes?!

There you have it.  About 3 months worth of new pics.  Plus a new layout for the blog.  Enjoy and stay tuned for more to come.

Interim Post

OK, ok, have lots and lots of new pictures to share, but too tired at the moment.  Instead, here are a few treats to tide you over until I have some time for a proper post...

Check this out: http://flavors.me/SergioCapozzi

For those of you who haven't seen Daniela's poster for Kean, at long last, here it is:

And both the boys got haricuts this past weekend.  Short, short, short.  Short as it's even been, much to Daniela's dismay.

First Oliver...

Next Jonah...

That's all for now.  Stay tuned for more.

Missing Hanukkah Pictures

So, posted lots of pictures from Christmas in Toronto, but none from our family Hanukkah celebration.  Well, genius that am I, forgot to bring the camera to the celebration...which is too bad, because we rented an awesome cabin on Keuka Lake in NY.  Packed the whole family, including the Udells, into this place: http://www.corninglandingonkeuka.com/.

And while I forgot our camera, Jeff luckily brought his.  Follow this link to see his pictures (you'll need a Snapfish account to see the pics).  Dani and Elyse also had their video camera and managed to capture this wonderful moment for Adam.

Enjoy and more to come soon.

December 2009

Whoa.  Almost a month into 2010 and no pics from December 2009?!  What a complete slacker!  December was a fun month...Hanukkah, Christmas, birthdays...Jonah and Oliver pretty much woke up in the morning assuming they got gifts everyday!  We really know how to pack it all in at the end of the year.  Jonah is a bit jealous though and wants to move his birthday to be with the rest of us!

OK, picture time.  Let's start with a random set from December, including Hanukkah at our house.

We then headed to Canada to spend Christmas with the entire Capozzi Crew.

First, here are a few pictures of me, Alleg, and our cousins:

The Lovely Bunch!

And now the links.  I split all the pictures from Toronto in 2 sets.

Set 1 (aka Part I) is here!

Set 2 (aka Part II) is here!

Enjoy and Happy New Year!!!

Daniela's Video

Not sure if this will work or not, but here's the link to Daniela's video for Kean.  It's on Facebook if the link doesn't work.

Enjoy.
