Hi Everyone! I wanted to let everyone know that Lisa & I will be walking in the Relay for Life walk on June 5th & 6th. Romito's is selling moons & suns for $1. They are posted all over the walls and it is so exciting to see it! This Fri & Sat (May 22 & 23) Romito's is also donating $1 from every Large pizza we sell to the American Cancer Society. Spread the word and stop in. Everyone knows how important this cause is to us and we are really excited to help! If anyone is interested in making a donation please let me know!!!! See you soon!

Changes

Hi Everyone! Major changes are going on in our lives right now. Over the past few weeks, Johnny has decided to become the sole owner of Romito's. We have decided to buy Robyn out and make a go of it on our own. This is very exciting as well as scary for our family. Between the two of us we will be working a ton of hours. One of us plans to be there most of the time. But in the end this will be a great thing for our family. We have a ton of ideas to boost our business and look forward to future success. So beginning next Monday, April 27th when you stop into Romito's chances are you will see one of us!

Spring is finally here!

Can you believe it...?Spring has finally arrived. The girls and I are enjoying all of these beautiful days we are having out in the backyard. We have already been to the zoo this year and the girls loved it! Reagan kept say "amnals! Amnals!" And Kennedy was so inquisitive about all the names of the animals. We are looking forward to going to the water park this summer. It opens May 23rd and we cant wait. We are members of Wildwater Kingdom (Old Geauga Lake) and the girls have so much fun there.
So next week is Reagan's Birthday. I cannot believe that my baby will be 2 already. We are getting ready for her party on the 11th. Johnny and I bought her a bike and he put it together last night. I am so anxious to give it to her. Right after her birthday we are on to Easter!
Johnny and Kennedy began soccer this week. Her team named themselves the Lions. Funny! It is really getting close to her recital for dance too. She got her costumes last week and they are SOOOO adorable. I will be getting her pictures taken soon so I will be sure to post some. Her Preschool days are coming to an end which is so hard for me to believe. We went to her elementary school 2 weeks ago and she met her teachers, saw her class, and even rode a school bus!!! She cant wait!
We are also looking forward to our family vacation this summer. We are going to the OBX with my mom and sister. My mom is turning 50 in June so we decided to take her on a trip. We will spend 7 days in a beatiful beach house relaxing and swimming. Our niece Casse is also coming with us on the trip. The girls are excited shes coming along.
Hope everyone is enjoing the semi warm weather and i'll check in again soon!

We are still here...

It seems like it's been awhile since I have posted. Not a whole lot is going on in our lives right now. Kennedy is doing very well in PreK this year. She is signed up for Kindergarten in the Fall and we cannot believe how fast the past 4 1/2 years really have gone by. Reagan is growing every day. She is talking more and more and wanting to be independent and do everything by herself. Kennedy is working very hard on learning her dance routines for her recital in June. She will doing tap and ballet performances. She will also be starting her 3rd season of soccer in a few months. As for me, I am staying very busy with my Presidency at Lollipop. The year is quickly coming to an end and there is so much for me to do. Of course the girls are also keeping me on my toes. Johnny is really trying to put some time in at Romito's. With the economy weakening he has to be very mindful to the business. The two of us are also having a lot of fun together lately. We see so many of our friends having difficulties in their marriages and it reminds us that we really need to work to keep ours strong. Now that the girls are getting older it is nice to be able to have our niece, Casse, come over and babysit so we can have time together that isnt always focused around work. As you all know, our family had a difficult 2008 so we are working very hard to to make 2009 one of the best yet!!

Abbey

I was just sitting here reading Abbey's blog (a link from our page). If anyone has not looked at her blog from our page, please take a moment and check it out. She is a 3 year old little girl going thru so much. It makes me think of how lucky I am that we have healthy little girls. Times get tough, but I can't imagine if something happened to my kids. Shelley (Abbey's mom) is so strong and full of faith, it renews mine every time I read. Please pray for the Colbert Family.

Thank You

A huge thank you to everyone who has helped out out during this difficult time. On behalf of the entire Syllaba Family I send a huge thank you. It was so nice tos ee everyone that made it to the funeral services as well as all the flowers and cards we received. Thanks again!!!

Update

For those of you that have not heard, Jack has taken a turn for the worse. Johnny is headed back to Florida this week to see him. He was admitted Friday into the Hospice facility. After a long, hard fight it looks as though Cancer may win this battle. Please keep him and the rest of our family in your thoughts and prayers through this very difficult time.
