Hellooooooo there! Is this thing even on? Tap tap. Hi! Greetings. If there is anyone out there who still occasionally stops by this li'l blog of mine, Happy 4th of July to you! Well, I have found that it is really hard for me to blog about Italy and Italian things when I am so far away from it. And we have been busy, really busy.
So just a quick review: On May 29th I entered Portland Or. with a mountain of luggage, one very agitated dog (who I suspect was grateful to be alive after the flight), two boys and a baby whose first tooth popped through his gums while we were flying over Greenland. I know, that will be a strange one to write in his baby book!
Since we have been here enjoying the fresh air and sunny skies of Central Oregon, we have been having loads of fun. There have been rodeos,
beautiful sunsets to watch,
beautiful sunsets to watch,
the smelling of flowers,
making new friends,
and catching up with old ones. These two had lots of fun copying the baby. One, two, three! Toes in the mouth!
As well as climbing tall mountains,
the baby decided to help his grandpaw drive the ol' Ford truck down a dusty road.
He has also enjoyed many kitchen sink baths,
afternoon naps cradled in the arms of his big brother,
and lots of fun romping with his big brothers on the lawn in the early evenings.
I have a feeling that the fun is just beginning!
For now Ciao! and Happy Fourth of July!
Oh, so good to see you back posting. I (and I'm sure many others) stop by on occasion waiting for the next snippet. Sounds (and looks) like you are all having a great time. Strange to think that you are now only one state away. Beautiful photos, beautiful family. Glad you posted.
