t-ball.

Tonight was the very first night of Enzo's first ever - tball season. He LOVED it. He threw. He caught. He ran. He batted. Both ways, already a switch hitter (daddy was quite proud). His team is co-ed; which includes two of his favorite girls, Heidi & Pearson. They all did very well for the first practice. We (you know what I mean) have practice on Wednesdays and games on Saturdays. Busy for the Lombardo household (remember, we have karate on Tuesdays). Daddy said tonight, "this has just begun..." he is eluding to the sports schedule, and we only have one currently in sports. Uh oh...

Here are some pictures of tonight's practice, wish I got more...Will definitely try again. All of it was too, too cute.

playing tourist.

We decided to "play tourist" to our city this past weekend. We loaded up and jumped in the car, and headed to downtown Seattle, more specifically, Pike Place Market. We had a great time, I love making memories with our two little boys. Joe is the one that spear headed this one, like most of our outings, or shall I say impromptu ones. We had just woke up, still laying in bed, he said, "Wanna go to pike place today, like leave soon, in less than an hour?" Okay, this type of thing, spur of the moment types of things aren't really my style. I am a planner (most of you know this). But this is one of my most favorite things about my husband. He has great ideas, that are always fun. I am so glad that I said yes, let's go! We had a blast. Here are some pictures that tell our "tourist" morning at Pike Place.

Easter 2012



Living, He loved me.

Dying, He saved me.

Buried, He carried my sins far away.

Rising, He justified, freely, forever.

One day He’s coming!

Oh glorious day, oh glorious day!

Thank you Lord, for what you have done for all of mankind. You reign forevermore.

Amos 9:13

Today was one of those days. One of those good days with God where I took the time and listened. Just listened as He talked. Where I kept my mouth shut and received. A true time of communion. I was thankful for it. And I journaled His promises and my goals and dreams for 2012. Along side of my quiet time came a time of prayer for a several things that are going on in my life and some specifics for a few of my close friends. You know who you are, and I am standing and believing with you in this season of your life.

Amos 9:13 in the Message Bible says this, "Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing on the heels of the other. You won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once, and everywhere you look blessings - blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and the hills!"

I receive it. Do you? Go ahead take this verse that I shared... and run with it. What is God going to reveal to you through His Word?

Love,
T

the condensed version: cabo with the crowells

We had a wonderful family vacation, with our buddies the Crowells. Jay, Jen & Kingston invited us to go to their "home away from home" ... Cabo! We all enjoyed this first of many vacations together. Our big boys love chillin' together and our little boys, well the same. I love it that at this point in time, we have boys! And then of course, Jen and I - we just can't get enough of each other. Our week long vacation consisted of: tortillas (TONS), our own baby schedules, and both mamas' stuck to our routines religiously, reading, swimming, long morning walks, feeding the fish (everyday, this was by far Enzo's favorite part), ceviche, swinging on the swings, sunshine, hand & foot, movies, drinking lava flows (virgin style, yes we are STILL breastfeeding!), laying out, and ventured off the resort once as a group to Mi Casa, a yummy restaurant. Oh, and I can't forget the ear infection. Enzo came down with a sinus thing just two days before we were to leave for home. He rarely gets sick, but this was the real deal, I haven't seen him feel this bad in a long time. We actually had to have a doctor come to us, check him out, and then have a pharmacy drop off some antibiotics, I was not thrilled about this. I was hesitant to say the very least. I called my doctor back at home, and $40 later in roaming fees, for a 8 minute phone conversation, I was put to ease, they said not to be worried, that the antibiotics in Mexico are very similar, if not the exact same to the ones at home. So, I prayed. And prayed. And all was well, he was much better 24 hours later, thank God. Once, again this was the condensed version! We love you J&J&K. We are blessed to be besties. Our life is just plain more fun with you!!!

Love,
T

ps. this is long overdue.
pps. pictures to follow.

Pinterest. I really like you.

Just wanted to say how fond I am of the ever popular site, Pinterest. I have gotten so many ideas, and have found myself even more crafty then I ever thought. For those of you who don't know, its a virtual pinboard, where you "pin" all the ideas you see that you would want to do in the future, whether it be for kids, food, parties, crafts, the home, etc...here are a few names of my "pin boards," foodie, hostess with the "mostess," the boys, one of these days...(referring to having a little girl, someday, maybe...), and many more. Go check it out, I dare ya! You too, Chelsea Bell!
