mark this date down on the calendar...the d'angelo's stayed home today! we had a very productive day, raking out the flower beds, edging, mowing, cutting down some trees/bushes in the backyard we've hated since we moved in (almost 6 years ago). wow - it may not look like much, but for us, it was huge. we just need to mulch and move around some old bushes and plant some flowers (and john has to finish my flower boxes for the front porch) and we're ready to sit down and enjoy! wow...now that i actually write it all down, it's a lot more than i thought! whew!
we enjoyed a lot of family time (well, after t's 3 hour nap, when he finally joined us) and being outdoors. the weather was just beautiful...i would love it if the rest of hte summer was just like today. warm in the sun, cool in the shade with a constant breeze! perfect!
we got to take a break from working when the lutz's stopped by on their walk back home. they left their house and hiked about 5 miles (3 hours) to the top of reading (fire tower/pagoda) and then back to their house...another 5 miles and another 3 hours! they are heading to yosemite this summer and are preparing themselves for the (crazy!) hiking they'll do when they are out there...we would have loved to join them (when i say we, i mean, john...tony and i would have been at some cool spa!), but we just weren't able to fit it into our already packed summer schedule...and budget! have you checked the price of flights lately?
tony loved helping daddy with the bush/tree he cut down in the backyard and helped him load it into the back of his truck to take to the township recycling dump. he loves being a helper!
we hope everyone had a relaxing memorial day weekend and that the week ahead is enjoyable for you as well! we have a 3 day week this week too as we head out camping friday for the weekend! let's hope the weather holds out as nice next weekend as it was this weekend!

Looks like you had a great family day at home too! I am sure my husband would have rather stayed home and did housework but it was nice to get together with my family. :)
I LOVE the video you made...especially Tony singing his ABC's. I have to get Ryan on tape doing that...he is pretty much obsessed with singing them. If we don't clap after his "song" then he sings it even louder until we acknowledge him--such a dramatic boy! ha!
Hope to see you soon!!!
