Hammin for the Camera

My favorite trick is called "Strong Man".
Who made that farting noise?
You know..... .....sometimes I really crack myself up!

Dinner is Served

By the time we got to Chelan, I was getting pretty good at feeding myself finger foods.....
.....and also good at letting everyone know when I'm finished.

Partner in Crime

I spent a lot of time with my cousin, Ashton, during our week in Chelan. He nicknamed me "Baby Gus" and helped me with food, retrieving my pacifier and keeping me away from all of my lead-based toys. (that's a joke)

Where do we begin?

Mama and I left Italy at the end of June and headed for "home" to see my grandparents and meet the rest of my family including lots of cousins. After a couple of days, Mama and I headed to Lake Chelan with the Bosone clan.

(Papa joined us a couple of days later.)

Here I am hanging out in Grandma's and Grandpa's condo.

Show of Hands

Who thinks that new blog picks are long overdue?

We certainly have some catching up to do.....

Love, Gus and her slacker assistant, Mama

Final Goodbyes

Before we left, the Squadron had a great Farewell Party for Papa and his friends Pedro, Banzai and Pinball.
I had a great time and I remembered to wear Buzzard purple.
I asked Eri if he would like to join me for a picnic.
He gladly accepted the invitation.
And then for old times' sake, I stole his hat one last time. I miss you Eri...and Kian....and Emma...and Logan...and Dominic.....and Lucas....and...................

Just Hanging....

....out in the Base Hotel, after we moved out of my first home.

How Ironic

After Papa's flight, we hung out in the Squadron for a little while.

A little catch-up first....

A few days before we left Italy, Papa had his final flight with the Buzzards.
Mama, myself and a number of friends went to watch him land.
Papa's friends hosed him down and sprayed champagne on him which upset me a great deal until Mama explained that they were just playing and Papa wasn't hurt.
Plus, a kiss from Papa sealed the deal. I'm not too sure about the smell of champagne though...
We will definitely miss our Buzzard friends. See you again soon and until then....Buzzards Rule!

Arrivederci and Hello!

Well, we did it. The move from Italy to the US was successful. The trip was crazy - think lost stroller, bags routed to the other side of the country, Mama in a loud argument at a ticket counter, hours of delay, and no air-conditioning in the Chicago airport - and you will get the picture. But, we made it, and we have been busy having fun in Seattle. Mama and I are going to do our best to get the blog up-to-date in the next couple of days, so be on the lookout.....
