Halloween 2015

As mentioned previously, the family was dressed up as the characters from Wreck-It Ralph this year for Halloween. Zoe was Venelope Von Schweets, Cheryl was King Candy and I was Wreck-It Ralph. Before we went to the West Philly parade, we took some pictures on the stoop. Here are a few.



Apart from the scoreboard, which Zoe liked, she was also really into the necklace I made. She kept insisting that she made it because in the movie her character made it for my character. It was super cute. On the way to the parade I made sure Zoe was safe and held my hand. She didn't have much trouble grabbing onto my over-sized mitts.



While we were there we ran into a group of her friends dressed up as the Three Amigas. They all looked really good.



There were lots of treats at the conclusion of the parade. Zoe made sure to bring me some so I could share with her.



We parked the car near the end of the parade route because we were heading out to a Halloween wedding. Once we were outside the venue, on the wrong block, Zoe was happy to pose with me one more time for a couple of photos before heading in.



Zoe was pretty good during the ceremony. Of course, she doesn't like having her picture taken when binky is in.



Towards the end of the night there was some dancing going on. Zoe was pretty in to all of the music and doing a really good job of shaking her booty. Later in the evening she got hold of a cat o' nine tails and was having a great time whipping booty.



A good time was had by all, even if some folks had trouble sitting down the next day.

Italy - Day 8 - Florence

We only had one full day in Florence, so we wanted to make the most of it. Getting up at a reasonable hour, we made our way down to the market for some breakfast. There were lots of baked goods, a truffle omelette sandwich, and plenty of fruit for Zoe, all of it fresh and delicious. Fueled up and good to go, we made our way to the first stop on our list, Giotto's Bell Tower. On the way we saw some street art, bought Zoe a new hat, and Zoe mailed out one of her first postcards. Arriving in the square, there were hundreds of people packed around the bell tower. No matter how far away I stood, I couldn't get the entire structure in frame, but it was awesome to see up close. We continued our trek south past the carousel towards the bronze boar. People were lined up to take pictures, rub it's snout and drop some money into the fountain for luck. Once our pictures were taken and our luck secured, we made our way through the leather vendors to check out some more bui

A Couple Of Visits

This past weekend the Carusos flew home on Friday. John and Annabelle took a later flight and actually spent Friday evening with us here at casa de Shelreno. It wasn't a long stay, but it is always nice to see my goddaughter. Her and Zoe had fun playing with the grill and then enjoyed a lovely breakfast together the following morning. You can tell they're good friends by the goofy faces they make together. On Sunday, I packed Zoe up in the car to take a trip up to Langhorne to visit with Mimi and Joe Pop. We went with Mimi to a nearby park. Apart from smacking her head right into the side of a picnic table, she learned to drive some cars. She already seems to have a little road rage. After that we went back to the house to ice her head... er... I mean, so she could take a nap. She was super tired, but when she woke up she was full of energy. Joe Pop was home and he showed her around the animals in his room, including the dogs. I think she was a little excited to see

Italy - Day 6 - Rome

Since this was our last full day in Rome, we decided to head towards Vatican City. After crossing a bridge, we made our way down the steps to follow the Tiber because Zoe wanted to explore closer to the water. Approaching the Vatican, we stopped just out of smoting range, for Cheryl's protection, before deciding that the view from the gates would suffice. From there we decided we would head out to try some very highly recommended pizza from Bonci. Zoe had to make a stop along the way for some gelato and a bathroom break, which was great because it took an hour to get our food. That being said, it was totally worth the wait! The pizza was amazing and the deep fried pasta balls were bizarre and delicious. While Cheryl was waiting, Zoe and I bought from fresh fruit and vegetables so that she would have something to eat. After a late lunch, we decided to make our way home. As we were about to cross the river, we passed Castle San Angelo and decided to make a stop. Thi
