Bella's New Game

So, Bella has discovered that whenever she wants to play and we don't, all she has to do is get a hold of something she isn't supposed to have (watches, socks, gloves, etc.) and we'll chase her! In this instance, she has her daddy's running watch. I apologize for my laughing in the background, but it's pretty funny when it's not happening to you!

We hope that everyone had a very merry Christmas and wish you all health and happiness in the new year!

By Request - More Bella!!!

We don't have that many pictures of our puppy yet, but we are hoping to take Bella on her first excursion to the dog park this weekend, so we'll be sure to update after that!

Bella discovered the toilet paper holders at my mom and dad's house. Apparently three bathrooms have been hit so far!

New Jersey!

This is a long overdue post, but at the end of October the family took off for New Jersey to surprise my Grandpa Joe for his 80th birthday! Nathan had the pleasure of coming along and meeting the family! It was an absolutely wonderful weekend and, of course, everyone fell in love with Nathan! It was so much fun to be able to show Nathan all of the fun places Tony and I went during our summers growing up. We even had the chance to hit two other states in the 3 days we were there! We went to Philly for dinner at this awesome diner our first night and drove through New York the last day, just to give Nathan a little taste of the big city we all love so much! I can't wait to go back and show him around one of the greatest cities on earth! So, without further ado, here are some pictures from the trip!

The Boardwalk on the Jersey shore. Tony and I visited here almost every summer growing up. It's where I honed my ridiculously amazing whack-a-frog skills!

With my dad's parents. That's my Grandpa Fred and my Grandma Rose! The men! This is my Uncle Sandy, my dad, Tony, the birthday boy (my Grandpa Joe), and Nathan. We're waiting to go into breakfast. This restaurant had like 200 omelettes on their menu (no joke!) If there's one thing the Ruggeri/Calatozzo clan knows how to do, it's eat!! The girls! Well, minus my mom. She somehow managed to stay out of every single picture. This is me with my Grandma Annette and my Aunt Diane. Can't beat fall in the northeast!
