Madison's Birthday

Theo spent some time with his big cousin on her 14th birthday--there was green cake and delicious soup made by Auntie Jen. Papa made friends with little Daisy too! Happy Birthday
Madison--we love you!

Hanging with his Nonna

Theo loves his Nonna because she understands him and has really cool stuff at her house for him whenever we go over...

Whine with everything

But check out his duds--how stylin'!

Theo's Italian Heritage Shines Through

mmmmmmmm pasta!

Seattle Weekend

We went to Seattle in November to see Rik Allen's exhibit at the Museum of Science Fiction.
Theo slept through most of the opening in the Ergo carrier and did great on the flights to &
from Seattle. We got a chance to spend time with Rik and his wife Shelley and have them see
Theo. Seattle, while always beautiful, was bitterly cold & damp--reminding us as ever, that
the Bay Area is the place to be.

Spending Time in Sausalito

Theo went to the Bay Area Discovery Museum for the first time
as a toddler. He loved playing in the stream with the fishies and
really enjoyed the Clifford the Big Red Dog exhibit.

we just returned from our annual and perhaps final visit to see Michael in Naples. Where he will relocate is still uncertain-but now that he & Theo have met and become instant buds, we will follow him wherever he may go.
Theo was a great little traveler and charmed the Italians with his red hair and sweet smile--"Bello Bambino"! they all exclaimed-or "Chuchinno" which I still don't know what it means but he was called this often.
Traveling always makes home seems so welcoming and right after being away. San Francisco for all its quirks is a lovely little city--
Now if we can just figure out what time it is and stop waking up at 2 am!
