Full Circle

Right before I left for Italy, i donated hair to Locks of Love, so when i returned to the states, I decided to chop it all off and donate again. I'm sure that hair will look much better on someone else!

Fun times at Grammy's

Auntie Kieran came to visit---yippee! She wanted to take Jude home with her.
Kian helps Grampy in his garden...

and manages to sport a beer (more like a milk) belly at the age of 23 months.

While Mommy and Daddy are away...

The week after we arrived in Atlanta, Mom, Dad, and Jude left for Ohio, and I got to stay behind with Grammy and Grampy. Let's just say, I didn't seem to miss them one bit.
Kian enjoys his pool side Cabana. Looks like he is munching on some melon in this pic.
Um, this might be a first---and i think the picture speaks for itself.

Lovin' the slide and the swings...mom and dad should go away more often!

The Greats...


Great Aunt Joan and Great Granny
Maxi decides to rest a bit with Jude.

Trip to Huntsville

Kian tries to impress his Great grandmother with his one pack abs.
Jude and Nanna.
Jude poses with the ladies--Mary Wittie and Annie.
Uncle Scott tries to keep Kian still---not exactly an easy task.

Brothers...doing the Fuhrman stare...

Grammy and Grampy have a HUGE TV---and it is virtually impossible for us to look away, even for a moment.


We have discovered that we LOVE Public Television. Sesame Street, Curious George, and Super Why are a few of our favorites. Mom promises to donate money during the next public tv fundraising event---she had no idea what she was missing for the last four years!

Grampy's little buddy





Cool Grampy! Do you think you can teach me how to comb my hair like that---superman/Clark Kent style??

The only pictures taken in billeting...


Yes, these are the only pictures from our stay in billeting...perhaps because we would really love to forget the first 4 days when the elevator was broken, and we (more specifically Dad) had to carry all of our bags up 4 flights of stairs. In this pic, Kian is watching the f-16s fly over Aviano for one last time...something both he and his daddy will miss a lot.

Our last day of play




These photos were taken on our last day of play together. I really miss all of my friends, but I love to look at their pictures on the computer.

My pals...

One day, i want to ride a moped like Egidio.



Nonna e Nonno Italiano

I really miss Pina...When i saw my Grammy for the first time, i called her Pina. Ciao Pina!

I also miss Egidio---and you too Andrea!
Egidio sleeps---but the play continues...

The Good Life

Oh how I miss Giusippina's pasta! I was so lucky to eat it everyday while i lived in Italy. She is the best cook ever!
Our Street

The Good life!

Kian and Henry sure do miss eating with all the neighbors.
