Talking Luca turns 1!

So after waiting for almost a year we had 2 big parties for Luca. 1st his baptism and this past weekend his 1st birthday. Now you would think the gods would shine down on us, but no the clouds thickend and it seemed more like the rath of gods. tornado warnings, flood warnings and all that other funky stuff. But we made due. We were in the basement and enjoyed this very special day. Luca is one and we will never forget this day. Trust me!
