Hasn't Portland changed him!

This is the pinata that Sandra's aiming for. What a target!

Sandra's shower

Isn't she gorgeous? I'm so thrilled to see the lovely roundness of that baby--and the sleek beauty of the mama. Kieran looks good too--if endangered.

More Proof That Grandma Didn't Lose the Camera After Paul and Teddy

So, we've all been wondering -- is it really true that going on a cruise is just like being in jail, except that you can drown?

Vivian cookie pants

... and in the name of equality, here you have Vivian after being picked up at school recently. What reality show can you picture her on... Italian Idol?!

Memorial Day

Last week we had great weather for the holiday weekend. Here's the pictures - it gets a little redundant with all the jumping action shots, but if you're bored this Monday you might like it. (also there's a slideshow option on the top right for those new to Flickr).

Watch me crawl and generally be cute

sorry about my background voice, being a parent sometimes makes you ... um, annoying.

Anthony's going to be 1 on June 26! Love & hugs to all...

Whew! I think I'm on. Now I'll have to take a photo or two to post. Brian, can you post the ones I sent of Max?

Family Tree

From Francy:

These are several pages that Johnny Tabert sent. They are a list made up by Bunny of her mother and father's family--Frank Nallin and Sarah Flaherty. A line or two got cut off when he photocopied them and some may be lost in scanning. Bunny says that Sade's mother was named Sarah Murphy but I have Sade's death certificate which says her name was Frances. These documents are made up by whoever happens to be filling them in so who knows what the names really are.

I ran some names through google and got some interesting results. More next week.

Happy Independence Day

Mimi sent me some photos to post while until she sorts out her technical difficulties connecting to the blog.

"Here are a few pictures of Max in a suit in Norway last week. He went to Stavanger, the home town of his girlfriend, Vicki, for the wild festivities they hold every year on Independence Day (independence from Sweden and Denmark, I think). All the Norwegians wear a "bunad", the national dress Vicki is wearing. Sh is half Norwegian and half Native American (her mother). Max will be coming home to Rome in a couple of weeks, at least for a short while, after he finishes his first year at the University of Brighton."

And Marta has a site for her travels.

Guess who just got his first TOOF!

Yes, Paul's finally got his first tooth at seven and a half months -- more than two months later than any of his siblings. He sends his apologies to anyone who has spent time with him in the last week.
