Spring Break

Spring Break is here and no one is happier than Daddy!  This year is a bit different in two ways: 1. Mommy is home for the entire week to hang out and 2. It snowed almost 4 inches!!  Snow is still a bit foreign to Ysabella and Anthony which is why Ysabella has to practice her shoveling technique.


Next Ysabella prepares for a snowball fight.


Unfortunately, Ysabella's skills are no match for Daddy's years of experience in the snow.


 Gotcha!

 

Keep practicing and trying new things, Nicastros! One day Daddy might even let you beat him!!
 
 

Happy Spring!!

Early Spring?

March normally brings spring-like weather down here in VA, but this week it brought our first real snowfall of the year! Mommy and Daddy had the day off which is perfect for playing out in the snow... after the proper preparations, of course.


Daddy worked on shoveling the driveway while Ysabella and Anthony played amongst the powder.


Ysabella seemed to enjoy herself. But Anthony was less enthusiastic.
 
 

Luckily, all Anthony needed to lift his spirits was something to push or pull.  


Then it was time to enjoy the ride!

  


Unfortunately, this powder was much less light and fluffy than it was extremely heavy and very wet.  Before we knew it the whole family was inside getting warm and snuggling by the fire.


Spring's warmth is right around the corner, little Nicastros...
Keep enjoying life's, sometimes brief, but always memorable moments.

Makayla's Many Hats

Mommy took Ysabella and Anthony to visit our friends, the Cassella's.  We always enjoy seeing Makayla and we finally had a chance to get to know their newest addition, Vinny, a little bit better.  

 

One thing the kids look forward to is playing with some new toys.  Today it was playing dress up with hats!


"How do I look, Makayla?

Unfortunately for Ysabella, Makayla may have masked her true feelings.


Once Anthony wanted to get in on the action... the good stuff began to come out.


Ysabella even knew which team hat she was wearing (good work, Daddy)


All in all, it was a good morning. 

And pretty soon it won't take 50 shots to get a decent picture of them all together! Right?!
