[Games] Re: Congratulations!
Henry and I are glad to have children in the house again, and are delighted to have Dominic Octavio, Cecily Rose, and Aurora Bella. They were born in Sicily and spoke hardly any English when they came to live with us. Neither Henry nor I are Italian, however we grew up in a very Italian American neighborhood, and so we consequently had both taken Italian in both Jr. high and high school. We had some brushing up to do, but it made it much easier communicating during the first few months. Dominic is a very athletic and energetic boy. He loves to play soccer with my son Rob when Rob visits us from his college. His latest project is a tree house that he and Henry are building in the large oak tree in our backyard. Dominic is in second grade, and is slowly learning english.Cecily is adorable and I'll admit reminds me of myself when I was little. I went through a stage when I was about her age when I refused to wear pants. Luckily, Cecily doesn't mind pants as long as they're pink, however she does love playing dress up. She's built up quite the collection of tutus and is in love with the Disney Princesses (Her favorite is Belle), and when she grows up she wants to be a ballerina or a princess. Cecily has quickly picked up english in the way that only children can.Little Aurora, or "Rory" is sometimes forced by her sister to play dress up with her, however you can tell she'd rather play with Dominic. Rory loves to run around and play, with anyone who wants to play with her. If no ones availible, she'll just play with her imaginary friend Didi. She speaks hardly any Italian anymore, actually, and probably won't remember any in a few years.
