I love getting all three of my babies together. It is a rare moment indeed when they are still enough for a quick photo. Silvio is getting so big and he is just full of smiles and laughter. He is a sweet, sweet baby and I am trying desperately to eat him up every chance I get. Sofia adores him and gives him kisses and snuggles constantly. Luca, on the other hand, doesn't seem to notice him most of the time. I think that may change soon enough. Brian and I love seeing all three of them together. We cannot believe that we created this family. We are so grateful even if it is overwhelming. Brian always remembers this moment in Italy that perfectly captures the essence of how we feel. We spent Christmas of 2000 with my family in Pontedera, Italy. At one point in the night, Mario, my grandfather's cousin, looked around the room that was full of children and grandchildren and said to Brian " Non ci posso credere che casino che abbiamo fatto. Che bello!" Translation: "I can't believe what chaos we created. How beautiful!" Of course it sounds better in Italian, but the feeling of it was so real. Although we did not have kids at the time and could not possibly comprehend the magnitude of such a feeling, Brian always remembered that moment. He now can fully understand what Mario meant and we both connect with that sentiment constantly. We look at our three children and think "Wow. We created this!" We created these little babies who bring lots of chaos but even more love into our lives.
