Big Brother

Angelo has been an only child in our home for some time.  Getting used to the idea that another kid will be joining in his space may be gradual.  Angelo's transition to Colorado has been super smooth.  He worked so hard this summer helping to move in to our new home.  He has loved the fact that we live a few blocks down from a cool skate shop and has enjoyed the many skate parks that Denver has to offer.  In the summer, Angelo went to The Edge summer camp in Tennessee with our church from Georgia.  He also went to a skateboard camp here in Denver.  He enjoyed getting to know his cousins in Denver, camping out in the tree house in Pueblo, and spending time with Grandpa & Grandma Montoya while they were here.  His favorite restaurant is Waffle Brothers and he has joined a new youth group.  He also has been pretty busy since school started.  We found a great school that has the small feel of a private school but thankfully, it's a public school.  As an 8th grader, he was the only new kid to join the group.  The school has aprox. 50 8th graders divided into two classes.  The school has high parent involvement so Jason & I will be busy with him too this year.  He made the Slavens Soccer Team and has played in two games so far.  The thing that he is most looking forward to this year is Sea Camp.  The 8th graders will be going on a field trip to San Diego for one week to study Marine Biology.  They will be dissecting squids and snorkeling in the ocean. 
So, there are lots of new things going on the the Vitello household.  Angelo has been such a great help to us and we know that he will do the same once the baby arrives.  Angelo said that he wants to be the one to teach the baby music.  Angelo is going to be a great big brother.  We have much to look forward to.
