Happy Fourth of July!

We had a great holiday weekend! Uncle Nick had his 2nd annual Lastrina-Palooza party at the in-laws and it was the first time that all the Lastrinas had been together since Christmas 2008! Crazy! It was really nice! The kids had a ton of fun and got lots of swimming in. Isabella remembered how to swim from last year and has gotten so comfortable in the water. She has learnt some new strokes, how to do handstands and Grammie Reli is teaching her how to dive! Vinny is so independent- he runs right into the water and doesn't want anyone to hold onto him! It will be very tricky keeping on eye on him the next few summers! : )

Some big news! Mike will be taking a job transfer to the Minneapolis office so we will be moving to Minnesota sometime late-Spring 2011! We have very mixed feelings on this but ultimately think that it will be a good step for Mike's career and a great "adventure" for the family. The logistics have yet to be decided but it should only be for three years. At that point, we are planning on relocating to southern MA and staying put! : )

It has been soooo hot here the past few days so we have decided to get some sort of a pool for the kids for the days/nights that we are just not up for the drive to P'boro. Pics to follow for sure!
