This is the photo blog of Guido Jack, Mariah and Peldi's life in Italia. We hope you will enjoy it.
| We had a fabulous visit with Will, Jo, baby Dylan, and Amy in Lecce at the beginning of August. What better activity for a nude beach bound Guido than frisbee with Zio Will? 1- Here it comes Will!!! 2- Hammer! 3- That cool cucumber is going to catch it! 4- Damn I'm good. Let's do it 400 more times. |
| 1- Great-grandfather Vittorio demonstrates his mad squid/fish cleaning techniques. 2- Guido eggs Nonno Bis on and enjoys the kitchen activity, though only as a spectator. |
| 1- Yes, that is Peldi on the Ice Cream box for those delicious looking BLOBs. 2- Yes, that is Guido Jack smiling underneath many layers of today's BLOB the Cornetto. |
| 1- After 2 months on a cargo ship, our boxes finally arrived in Bologna. 2- Guido thought the boxes were pretty fun to play in...and around. Once he discovered that his toys were inside he quickly took inventory. 3- Zia Alice brought her magic washable face crayons to La Sperduta. Soon Guido had numerous buttons drawn all over his arms- Buzz Lightyear style. 4- Do you remember your first Mocktail? |
| We spent a lot of time at Nonno Guido's house close to the Adriatic Sea during June and July. Granny Mary and Nonno Grandpa came for a nice long visit during this time. We miss them terribly already!1- Peldi and Guido at the beach in Porto Recanati. 2- Here again with the American Nonni in the water. 3- The view from the pool at La Sperduta. Wheat fields, sunflowers and medieval towers. Not too shabby. 4- In my anti-gravity suit, i swam in these beautiful clouds one night. |
| We took another mini-vacation to Uggiate in the middle of June to visit with more family.1- Grumpy Guido, photo courtesy of Cousin Laura, age 8. 2- Guido and his cousin Lily in the "Chocolate Lake". 3- Guido's first tennis racquet. He's hooked. 4- One of the walls of Jasmine. I'm a Carolina girl. The smell was overwhelmingly nostalgic. |
| We haven't spent very much time in Bologna so far, but come September it will be our hometown. 1- Guido and Peldi kickin' it on the stoop at our new apartment on Via San Donato. 2- Manuela & her BFF Stefania enjoying a peaceful moment before the Ladies only party. |
| We attended a beautiful wedding in France (congratulations again Julien & Kimberly!) at the end of May.1- Chenonceau in the Loire Valley. Guido was mostly excited about the stagnate moat. The mama... not so much. 2- We missed our flight from Paris back to Bologna and had to stay in a nearby airport hotel. It was at this point Peldi pointed out that we are no longer a 2 star family. The accommodations were bleak at best... but at least Guido was good natured about it! |
| We took a nice 5 day vacation to Uggiate to rest. It was such a nice treat to sit back and relax after our exhausting move. Here are some pics of Guido:1- checking out the "his size" house in the garden 2- looking like a pro with his GIANTS baseball bat 3- taking his first run around Lake Como |
