Ladybean

Sharon's mom Claudia hooked me up with the this 'ladybean' costume for Gioia! I think she is the most delightful bug on the block.  Once in full costume we took to the complex parking lot to test the wings.  She flew up and down, then lay flat on her tummy and did her version of the breast stroke, apparently ladybirds like to swim aswell as fly. 

Here is little Wian's birth notice. 

Gioia's first second cousin, Megan, was born yesterday afternoon late.  Congratulations to Lolly and new Nana Karin. We cant wait to meet her. It would seem she migh too be a thumb sucker like our little Bean.
