Oh Giacomo (gee-aw-ka-mo, said quickly in an Italian accent) Giacomo, where for art thou? Lucia brought home her first boyfriend and wouldn't you know he came all the way from Bologna, Italy! His mom, Samantha, and her sons, Tomas-age 13, Matteo-age 3, and Giacomo-age 1, made the trip from Italy for the PKS Conference and then we were sooo happy to have them visit in Denver for a few days. Samantha and I have been in touch for almost a whole year, learning of our newborn's common bond of PKS. She has made me feel so blessed to have her as a friend, although all the way in Italy, she has seemed close by. Giacomo has been courting Lucia from afar with personalized facebook messages, piano playing skills, and all the while looking very dapper, not to mention he is very strong and smart! Time for me to brag about my son-in-law...:) At just a year old Giacomo is able to sit for a bit unassisted, he has great vision reacting to faces and toys, he can play the toy piano, he can hold his own bottle, make consonant sounds, and overall he's doing really well. Samantha too can sit and see :) and she's funny, sweet, smart, beautiful with words, a beautiful person inside and out. She and I have been planning the engagement of our children and after Lucia's and Giacomo's time together, I think its very obvious that they are a perfect match. As Samantha said about the above swinging picture, "Love Is" and that could not be better put.
Thank you Mario and Linda for hosting a beautiful, Italian style, dinner. Thank you mom and dad for opening up your home for their stay. Thank you soooooooo much Samantha, Tomas-such a good guy you are Tomas! , Matteo and Giacomo for this visit..i wish it didn't have to end. Samantha, thank you for your emails and intuition of the relationship...it proved to be a grand idea! Thank you for being a new and old friend that we WILL also visit at your home someday. You are a FOREVER friend...it's pretty incredible how God works!

My friend, my sister.
We will always keep these special moments close to our hearts! You and all of your family have been more than special for us!
My sweet Lu, you are the daughter I've never had. I'so proud of you! You came in our life and you will always be a part of it. You know you have a boyfriend and two brothers who love you so much!
Your italian family!
Sweet Dawkins family,
The 3 of you have been in my thoughts so much as of late. As Shane and I navigate thru my pregnancy and trying to figure out how to be the best parents we can to our little angel, I think of you. We would be so very lucky to be just 1/2 the parents you have been to Little Lu. You are such an inspiration to so many parents out there and should be so very proud of yourselves for how you continue to be truly the poster child of graceful parents. Lots of love to you all!
