The Molinari family visits

Sophia and William's Nonno and Nonna visited for the week of William's bris. Sophia was so excited to see them and had a great time getting lots of attention. She would make them push her on her swing set for hours! Of course Nonna and Nonno happily obliged!


Nonna and Nonno with their  FAVORITE grandkids:) Sophia was squirming to get out, but Nonna's iron grip was able to keep her at least for the duration of the picture.




Nonno and William. Nonno made his usual funny faces, oddly William appeared unamused.
It appears Nonno was trying to camouflage into the sofa.  















Nonna and William. William actually seemed to be looking at and paying attention to Nonna!














All the male descendants of G. Molinari, all in 1 place. A pretty rare occurrence!















Sophia loved playing with her cousin Luca in her house on the porch.














Sophia and cousin Max loving on cousin/brother Luca.














Sophia would swing all afternoon if someone stayed to push her. Nonno lasted longer than most at her favorite activity!













Sliding might be her 2nd favorite activity. I think at this point Nonno was worn out from pushing her on the swing.













We're so glad Nonna and Nonno made the long trip from Italy ! We can't wait for them to come visit again soon; Sophia wouldn't stop asking where they were the day after they left.

William's bris

We had William's bris at our house when he was 8 days old. We had our families over for a short ceremony, and lunch afterwards. William was a trooper, and didn't even cry! We gave him the hebrew name Yaacov Avishai after his great grandfathers, William Pearlman and William Toran, and great grandmother Agnese Molinari.

First days home

When we got home from the hospital, we had a stork waiting for us in the yard.




The next day, we had a birthday party for William. We had a cake and sang happy birthday to him, and Sophia blew out the candles.


Then we opened presents. William gave Sophia a big sister gift. And Sophia picked out a birthday gift to give to William.




Sophia loves to help out, and when William gets a bottle, she likes to help hold it.

Zia Micol's Visit

Last month, Zia Micol came to Atlanta to visit for a few days. We had a wonderful time with her, and Sophia knew exactly who she was even though it had been a year since she had seen her last, thanks to Skype. Sophia had a blast playing with her, and was so sad to see her go!
