The Roggia's

Yet again, a month behind. Oh well. Things are good with this Roggia Family. Adam finished out his semester with STRAIGHT A's and is now interning at a hospital in Fairfax... which he enjoys (minus the horrible commute). Ellie is growing up sooo fast, learning all her letters, speaking so well, and as always, cracking us up all the time. Seth is in a crazy phase of "hold me... no, put me down". We are hoping he won't wait too long to walk as we think that will make him a much happier baby again. He's lucky he's so dang cute. I am of course working hard to keep up with life and have some fun this summer. Also, just ran a PR at a small 5k on Saturday, in 23:28! Now, on to the goofiness:

 Ellie+Pudding=Chocolate Monster

 Fell off the trampoline... an ice pack and a nap took care of it though.

 Laundry basket races... good thing Pa and "Hey You" are in such good shape!

 We took an overnight trip to Waynesboro for Adam to run in the half marathon there. We had fun and he ran great!

 Ellie was a fan of the trip... especially since there were playgrounds everywhere we went.

 Congratulating Daddy on his finish.

 The men resting... waiting for the awards,

 Ellie is always very distracted by dandelions. 

But she still helped Dad accept his award... second in his age group! 

A pretty look out point on the road home from the race.

Adam and I demonstrating our awesomeness with a single look. 

Ready to run some errands... purse and all. 

 The crazies.

Such a funny little man. 

For some reason, he was super excited about this spool of ribbon he destroyed. 

Daddy-Daughter time... with the mandatory snacks. 

Ellie decided on this occasion that a garnish was absolutely necessary with her juice. Too much Food Network and Cooking Channel?

 The kids and I also got to take a trip to Savannah with Grandma to visit cousin Izzie's family before they leave the East Coast.

We spent lots of time at the park. Ellie climbed a wall twice the size of her one at home.  

 The cousins had lots of fun with Grandma. Wish we could have visited longer. Ellie did not want to leave.

 Who doesn't love Cool Ranch chips?

Seth LOVES to swing. 

And of course, a small puddle of water provided at least 30 extra minutes of entertainment. 

Ellie got to play some T-Ball for the first time... took to it well. She loves sports. 

Cute little cousin Lidia.  

Then some pool time at home.

 And despite his love of water, even a pool will not keep little Seth contained. He is a major busy body.

 We recently found a Pick Your Own Strawberries farm and took a little drive there. Ellie loved finding the pretty red ones to pick.

She was a good helper. They were delicious and have provided us with some delicious jam. 

The boys hanging out at the farm. 

Ellie distracted by dandelions... again. 

The kids were more than happy to sample the fruits of their labors on the way home. 

Yummo! 

She is a ball of pure crazy. 

The man chillin and watchin the tube. 

Bananas and a Movie... Life is good.
