Happy Happy Asher

Overheard at the Costanzo House…

Overheard this past week at our house: “I want Honey Bunches of Goats for my breakfast too!” “No mommy! It’s ‘The Polish man built his house upon the sand!’” “I want a white bunny on top of my birthday cake, just like on the box.” (Referring to the Pillsbury Doughboy pictured on the box of cakemix.) (All quotes courtesy of our 2-year-old.) Just to further brighten your day, here are a few fun pics from … Continue Reading →

Announcing the arrival of Asher Lee Costanzo!

Please join us in thanking God for the safe arrival of our third son, Asher Lee Costanzo! He was was born at 9:21pm, is 8 lbs 11 oz, and both he and Jen are doing just fine.

Kids Are Awesome (Fun-Size Photo Gallery)

Let’s face it—kids are awesome! Jen and I have gotten a lot of parenting advice over the years (both solicited and unsolicited), and inexplicably, much of it has been along the lines of, “You think it’s bad now? Just wait until [child's next major developmental milestone]. Oh man! You’ll be sorry then!” Hardly anybody ever says, “You think it’s good now? Just wait until [child's next major developmental milestone]. It is priceless! You will love it!” So … Continue Reading →

Well, before we give it away, we want to test your baby-gender-guessing abilities by the following quiz: What gender do you think Baby #3 is? … Continue Reading →

Priceless Parenting Moment: A Million Leaves, A Spot of Sunshine, And Two Happy Kids

We just got back from a glorious weekend in the woods that was spent basking in the primitive serenity of being totally off the grid for a while (no TV, no phone service, and no Internet). Needless to say, we loved it, and so did our boys; we were free to just hang out with them and do whatever. For the most part the weather was slightly overcast, but when the sun finally decided to … Continue Reading →

Yes, it is a glorious day in which all us geeky Star Wars fans greet each other with cheerful grins, secret handshakes, and debilitating Jedi mind tricks. And for this year’s Jedi mind trick, I wanted to share a video made by none other … Continue Reading →

More Cuteness from Casa Costanzo

A few weeks ago when it was still a bit unseasonably cool, Jen took Tyler outside to experience the rapturous joy and transcendental magic of…you guessed it… soap bubbles! It was really windy, so the actual bubble output was a bit disappointing – mostly “clusterbubbles” that were too heavy to float for long and quickly settled down to rest in the grass. But Tyler had a great time stomping them out of existence nonetheless: But … Continue Reading →
