Happy 11th Birthday Little Friend......

We shall call this post: Portrait of the Perfect Pup

As you may know, our little Fonz has had some health issues recently.




In the face of his somewhat-fragile health, I only needed to remind myself that "Love is a Verb." I love him every day and he loves me right back.




We have our little chats in the morning along with his belly rub. (This is when he reminds me that Life is Good : )



We have fun playing the "Ring the bell to go outside only to want to instantly come back inside Game." (Here is where he helps me understand the true virtue of patience.)




He is also known as "Velvet Ears." Here he reminds me that all of the Earth's creatures are truly magnificent in their own way.



And here is, quite possibly, my favorite part of his fabulous self....his Frito Feet. With his dainty (maybe stinky?) feet, he reminds me to keep moving- to keep on keeping on! To get out and about and have fun!



Happy Birthday Little Man, may you have many more. We love you through and through.....except maybe the Z-Lady, but she does seem to tolerate you better these days....that's progress. Just stick around a few more years so you can reel her in! : )

Have a Very Merry Un-birthday to you, to you....

The tallest of the small is 6.5 years old. We had the usual half-birthday fun. At school, on her half-birthday, one of her friends told her that half birthdays aren't real. She mentioned this to me when she got off the bus. Then she asked me if half birthdays are "real." Hmmmmm. "What do you think?" I asked her (love that parenting technique). Well, she explained that lots of people don't celebrate their half birthdays, most people probably. But since we do, they are real for us. Sounds good to me : ) You get to celebrate their lives twice as many times- how can I resist, besides, it involves CAKE people! Happy half-birthday!

One afternoon, we decided to go into Pordenone to walk around and check out the city, perhaps to have a tasty cappuccino. Sounds fairly simple....we set off in the morning and all went well until we got into the city. Driving here is like playing a video game, only if you hit a pedestrian, you are going to Italian jail for life. There are people walking, people riding bicycles, dogs running, cars, motor scooters, taxis, and buses with which to contend, not to mention one-way streets and the penchant for Italians to post 10 signs when we Yanks would only post one- maybe two if it were a really scary situation. No small task- also, there are usually two small folks in the seat behind me saying, "mama?" over and over again. Now you would think that Juney and I would have our Navigator/Co-pilot roles fairly well ironed out by now. That is also not quite the case- shall we say we need more practice with our roles? I think that would be fair, Nanny, no? I think this might be the on...
