(October 2008) We have moved
We are finally living in our new home. We closed October 17. We are currently the only people living on our block (many of the homes around us are still being built) but by the end of October, we should have two new neighbors. We love the new kitchen, having a fireplace, the pocket park, and being back in the neighborhood close to all our friends. Alex says he loves his new playroom and having his toys out of storage the most. He's also really enjoys seeing the houses around us being built. It certainly is fun to get to watch excavators and cement trucks from your bedroom window.
(July 2008) Sold!
Our first home has sold. We are sad to leave it. Since our new home won't be ready until October, we will be living with Sophia's parents until then. Wish us luck!
(June 2008) It's another girl!
So many of our friends and family have been having girls lately. Our neighbors and good friends Anna and Michael just welcomed Cameron Anson on June 2. She was 10 days early and weighed 6 lbs 14 oz. Anna's water broke after having brunch with us, so I'm certain after hearing cute little Ari, Cameron decided to come early to play with him! Look for pictures of her under Ari's Friends album. Congrats to the new parents!!!
(June 2008) We just returned from Greece
We must be crazy. With the dollar doing so poorly to the euro ($1.68/1 e) and with two young kids in tow, we braved 20+ hours of travel and took the boys to Greece to visit family and vacation. We spent half of the 2.5 week trip in Athens seeing Sophia's grandparents and great aunt (who is sick with cancer), and then the other half in a villa on the southwestern coast of Peloponnese. It was gorgeous and not very touristy at all. Look under the Trips album for tons of pictures.
(May 2008) Welcome Peyton!
Alex and Ari have a new cousin! Ashley and Paul had Peyton Faith on May 16. She is was 7 lbs 14 oz. Look for pictures of her in Ari's Friends album.
(April 2008) New house
After 4.5 years in our first home, we are moving. We have bought a new home set to be finished in October. It's in the same neighborhood we are in now and will be one block from the 80-acre Central Park. We are very excited! Our current home is now on the market.
(December 2007) She's back!
Christina has returned home safely from her around the world trip. She will be in Colorado for a few months, then will head to Australia for grad school.
(December 2007) Welcome Isabella and Olivia
Congrats to Vanessa and Matt on the birth of their first daughter Isabella Jean. She was born two weeks early on November 28 and weighed exactly 8 lbs. Also, Congrats to Sarah and Jeff on the birth of their daughter Olivia. She came on her due date, November 30, and weighed 7 lbs 12 oz.
(November 2007) Ari is born!
Arion Lazarou was born Tuesday, October 30 at 1:42am after 11 hours of labor. He looks like his Mom, but has big hands and feet and a cleft in his chin like his Dad and brother.
(July 2007) Lake Michigan trip
We just returned from a week long beach vacation on Lake Michigan. We stayed in Uncle Greg and Aunt Jo's beach house. We had a great time building sand castles, swimming in pools, going on the sailboat, picking blueberries, and eating lots of great Italian and Greek feasts! See the Trips album for tons of pictures.
