What I did on my summer vacation

We had a fantastic week in Palm Desert soaking up the sun, playing in the pool, and being together as a family. This is what we did on our summer vacation:

...hung out on our patio at the Marriott Desert Springs Villas.

...lounged around after a morning at the pool.

...tried to out-mess my own living room with toys galore.
...showered like a big boy with dad,

and got my first kitchen sink bath.

...tested out a few new fashion ensembles and realized this one made by thighs look too chunky.

...went for the wind-blown look,

and realized that it felt kinda spikey.

...chased mom through the sprinklers,

...and then chased the ducks into the pond.

...hung out with Grandbob during an impromtu Fathers' Day visit en route to Vegas.

...climbed trees.

...chilled in the shade looking like a sweetie.

...bundled up indoors (mom and dad cranked the a/c) with my ballet slippers jammies.

...became a pro at the twisty slide,

until my cheeks turned pink from the heat.

...took my first dip in a swimming pool.

...tickled and wrestled,

and napped a lot in luxurious beds. Best vacation ever!!

Fathers' Day


Gianna is wild about daddy,

and Enzo thinks that Dad is rad.

The best present Dad opened was a story book called "My SuperDad" all about Jeff!!

Here, SuperDad is sliding down a rainbow. Heh.

Three generations of Lunas.

Hanging out... and dancing


I looked in the backseat to find this hilarious scene.




Post baths. And Enzo sporting a new do that he styled himself.


Dada wants some screen-time.


Gianna starts to "talk."




Enzo was entranced by the auditions for So You Think You Can Dance. So was I.


Notice the big finish.


Testing out the sommersault.


Evening tickles.

Carney circuit

My mom and Josie and I made plans to see the Pointer Sisters in concert at the St. Angela Merici church carnival (yeah, you read that right!). As I thought about going to a church carnival without my kids or husband, I felt a little guilty. So off we all went -- and the plan was for the adult girls to stay out late doing the neutron dance to jams like "Jump for my Love" and "He's So Shy."


My mom introduced Enzo to Dots ice cream. And he likey.


I had no idea how excited Jeff gets for cake walks. This shot was taken during round 3, I think. No cakes.


Despite the screaming bloody murder episode wanting to ride the bumper cars, Enzo was not a fan of the merry-go-round. He had to settle on the Tiny Tots Monster Truck ride.


"Truh. Truh. Tow Truh. Dum Truh."




Oh, and the Pointer Sisters, who were scheduled to perform at 7 pm, still hadn't taken the stage at 9:15 pm. We all split and went home. And I was pissed.

The very next weekend, we pointed ourselves to Covina for the St. Louise Carnival. I had organized a little 20 year reunion for my 8th grade class, and had about 12-15 of my childhood friends gather to reminisce using sub-par yearbooks and yellowing photographs.
One of my favorite cheers was "S. SLS. Yes, yes. SLS. (clap)." Genius.

Class of '90. Yep. Yep.

Gianna's 2 month check-up


"What?!?!? I weigh 12 lbs. 4 oz.? ...and I've been working out!" Gianna is in the 80th percentile for weight. She measured 22 3/4 inches, which is the 70th percentile, and her head is 38 centimeters. As a comparison, she weighed 7 lbs. 10 oz., measured 20 3/4 inches, and her head circumference was 35 cm just six weeks ago.


She was feeling peaceful and proud...


until her first vaccinations. All in all, she was a champ. She got to play at the park when we were all done.
