The Cipollas come to visit

Mama C, Papa C, Grandpa, Angelina, Amy, Amelia, and Anya came to see us in the hospital when Jubilee was born. It was so wonderful having family come, and since it was Angelina's birthday, they also had a little party for Ang in the courtyard outside our room.

This picture of Grandpa holding Jubilee is one of my favorites. He said he had never held a baby so new before. When all 6 of his sons were born, they wouldn't let him see them for like a week until they were ready to leave the hospital! I couldn't believe it. He said that even Grandma Cipolla didn't see them since she was knocked out to have them and then they went straight to the nursery! I'm glad times have changed.

Here's our mother's day present to Mama C- the "whatever" clock. If you went to Costa Rica to visit Jonathan when he lived there, you understand the joke.
