Trunk or Treat

Here I am at my first Trunk or Treat! Oops ... where am I?
Here I am! I am the one in the shark costume.
Did you wonder if Trunk or Treat was a typo? I know Mom has many typos but this isn't one of them. Here in Italy there is no trick or treating. It would be a sad Halloween with no trick or treating so all the nice people on base make a steet of cars, decorate the trunk and fill it with candy. We walk up and down the street and trunk or treat! How neat. Ok, I am rhyming so I better go to bed. See ya later!
Dad dressed up as Tigger. He thought I would be scared of him in his costume but it only made me smile. My buddy Kian was a lion and Mom says we were the cutest little dudes out there. Unfortunately, Mom's camera had a major malfunction so only a few photos turned out. You will have to go to Kian's blog, linked off of my blog, to see more. Well, that is if he posts some. I am sure Mom will see if she can't aquire a few more photos of my first trunk or treat. I hope you all have a spooktacular Halloween!


Coat Shopping

This is just a random tourist picture. Normally it wouldn't have made the blog as the top of the Church is cut off and almost my head, but it's the only photo we took while we were in Sacile shopping for my winter coat today.

My New Car Seat!

Here I am in my new car seat! Mom adjusted it for me and it is ready to go. I really like this plush material and of course the color is fab. See ya on the road.

BIG Back Pack

Here I am enjoying one of my new rides! I am not sure I like this better than the bjorn but it is ok. I do like that I can chew on it while I ride.
This is our weekend morning walk into town for cappucino or latte machiato. Yep, this is one of our tourist photos. We will be taking a lot more of these since we are going to have to move soon. We hope you will enjoy some of the gorgeous scenery before it turns to pasture.


First Flowers

I brought these gorgeous flowers home for Mom, just because.

Costume Party!

I suddenly have this strange thing on me! This is a Halloween pre-party or should I say dry run? Mom decided to put me in my costume a few days early to see how I would react and take photos of course!
Chomp Chomp Chomp sharks like to gnaw on things!
Something new to chew on!
It's not a party without all your friends. Here comes Eri the turtle.
Don't worry Aiden the bear I am a friendly shark.
Lion, turtle and bear .. oh my!




Farewell Dinner


Here we are at Auntie RaRa's farewell dinner. I got to sit with Dad so Mom could visit with RaRa and it sure was my lucky night.

Do you see both the dessert and the polenta sitting there? Boy I liked them both and boy Mom did not like that Dad was feeding me just about everything he ate. I am only 8 mos old and I am not supposed to eat a bunch of sugar or dairy. Mom caught dad on camera and here she comes ...
In a way this is a farwell dinner for my friend Eri and his parents. They leave Italy in a couple of days and I don't want them to go. Luckily, we will get to visit them in Texas!


Play Play Play

Hello, here I am playing on a typical day.
After I finish pulling out a few toys and tasting each one, I often decide it is time to tug on my blanket.
I know it might look bad to you that I am kicking Moxie, especially considering she just had surgery, but this is my way of saying hello to her. To me, it is just a typical day after all. Moxie really likes it when I share my blanket with her but she really is a blanket hog.
Ok after all that I think I will chew my shoe! Just a typical day ...


Train 2

Mom and Auntie RaRa decided they just didn't get enough of Venice. This marks my second train ride! Well, make that my third train ride but my second trip to Venice!

Ra Ra Ra Rain!

Dad came home just in time to see Ra Ra and the rain!

Today is a Sad Day

WARNING: VIEW THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK




Today Mom and Auntie Ra are sad. My dog had to have surgery and she doesn't quite look right. Sorry for the photo but I wanted you all to know. I don't totally understand because I am a baby, but Mom says Moxie has a bad ouchie but will be all better soon. Please keep her in your thoughts, I hope to roll all over her some day.




Our Trip To Slovenia

We took a quick trip to Lake Bled in Slovenia. The Fuhrman's invited us to stay with them at the cabin. I will try and post a gew more pictures soon. This one doesn't quite capture the scary road we had to go up to get there. It was cool, I got to ride in Kian's posh car seat!Uh oh caught on camera! Here I am in tights! Yep, that is right, tights! They were great under my clothes. They kept me snuggly warm. Dad would be so proud. Of course, you know he wasn't there....
I had a great time bunking with Kian. When he woke up in the morning we chatted. He was upstairs and I was downstairs but we completely understood each other. It is so much fun hanging out with people my size! Mom had fun too. I am posting a lot of photos with Mom because Auntie Ra is here to take some. Yahoo!
We went for a great walk along the lake. The scenery was gorgeous. You can't beat all the fall colors. It turned out to be a beautiful day.

This is part of the path we walked along. It goes all around the lake but we couldn't make it that far before my nap.
This Church sits on the island in the middle of Lake Bled. It looks to us like the boats take people out to the Church. What a Sunday that would be. I wonder if the Italian's know. I am so glad auntie Ra came to meet me.
Snuggle time with Auntie Ra!Yep, more stroller pics...
Well when you are this cute who wouldn't want to take several photo's? I have been in my stroller so long now I have begun to rest my head on the tray.

Momma and Me
Here is the view from our walk. Not too shabby!

More photos along our walk.

We stopped in Tarvisio on the way home to stretch our legs. Mom and Auntie Ra were hoping to stretch their wallets at the leather market but it was closed. We got to stretch our legs though and get out of the car. The town looked very cute.

Along For The Ride

Here is my thought on site seeing, "in the stoller again?!"


Only in Italia!

Since we found out we will be moving sooner than originally planned Mom started taking a lot of tourist pictures. Here is one of them! We were driving home and came across the goats on the hill beside the road. Sorry, it looks much cooler in person.

Riding in the car

Mom took this picture of me in my car seat because I am starting to outgrow it. The new one is on its way! Mom says it is going to be a blue to match my eyes and the car!




Buon Appetito

We stopped for a quick bit to eat inbetween my naps. The highlight for me was the breadsticks!



My First Trip to Venice!

This marks my first trip to Venice!
Here I am at the Sacile train station with Auntie RaRa. This is my frist train ride and what an absolutely gorgeous day!
It was a prefectly clear day in Venice which made for fantastic photos. Here we are near San Marco's square.

Here is some of the neat Venetian scenery.

Mom ordered me this new buggy for traveling. I enjoyed my new ride. It doesnt have a tray or much leg support which was cool. It enabled me to ennjoy kicking my feet all day. We took the Vaporetto (water taxi) over to San Marco's square to save time. It was nice, I enjoyed a little latte on the boat.
Here I am telling Auntie Ra how I will take her on Gondola ride for graduation. Auntie Ra is counting the days.


Pizza in Venezia! The day was winding down as we stopped for some pizza. It was getting chilly out and was time for a rest. I enjoyed a short nap inside this quaint pizzaria.


I was a trooper. It was such a long day but I was happy even on the ride home! Here I am on my second train ride having a blast.
