Luca Narrates

This post is in pictures. Pictures narrated by Luca himself.
Summer is coming to a close, which is obviously bitter sweet, but it also means we can actually start a countdown to when Marco comes!
Summer has been treating us as summer should, and we are so grateful to have been able to savour all that it has given us. Mealtimes out on the deck, sandbox pitstops all day long, water water water, in any way shape or form. Picnics at parks, concerts at parks, playing in parks, running in parks. Catching fireflies, releasing fireflies, listening to cicadas and grasshoppers "growling". Ice-cream devouring, and best of all running around naked outside and inside 99 % of the day. (Luca, not me, even though I was temped many times)
I also had a huge milestone and went away for the first time by myself since Luca was born.
And I seriously could not have dreamt it going better on both our ends. I had a fabulous weekend in NYC with my dear friend celebrating her becoming a bride,  and Luca had a blast back in Baltimore with Gam, Pops, Zia and it happened to be the same weekend that my brother was in town, so three cheers for Zio too!
Marco comes on the 30th, then Luca Marco and I fly out to Albuquerque 3 days later and we have a mini South West road trip, ending for my friends wedding  in Santa Fe.
Then back in Baltimore for a few days, and goodbye America.
I hope Summer has treated everyone as sweet as it could.
Now lets welcome the crisp cooler, and cozy fall!
