Friday was Gio's final day of school (he will be back again with Mr. Mark next year so it was not too sad for him).
 |
| Safety First! Gio is often sitting at circle time wearing his beloved helmet. I am not sure if he just does not notice he is still wearing it or if he is eager to get back outside to his scooter.... |
 |
| There was an end-of-the-year party complete with snacks, games and water guns. |
 |
| We got home to discover an exciting package had arrived in the mail. New Big Toms....though these are over twice the size of his original ones so he immediately dubbed them "Enormous Toms" and instantly fell in love. |
 |
| Saturday Paolo returned from his week away (Berlin & Odessa). We spent the day packing for Italy and setting up the nursery so it is ready for our return sometime in August/September (this depends entirely on our how quickly the Italians can produce a passport for Baby Belli during their annual August shutdown!) |
 |
| Done. It sure helped that the movers cleared out this room this week to make room for all of Gio's old baby things! |
 |
| We began our drive on Sunday morning. First rest stop at our favorite spot just before Lviv. Frog hunting ensued. |
 |
| Enzo was hot hot hot. Poor fellow. He finally found some shade and only emerged to help us finish our lunch. |
 |
| Post lunch everyone under the age of 5 took a nap. Enzo chose his napping spot in direct line with our strongest A/C vents. |
 |
| Our hotel in the Carpathian mountains (just before the Ukraine-Hungary border crossing) is set right on a river. Enzo and Gio did some nude bathing. |
 |
| Day 2 was spent crossing the border and driving through the boring landscape of Hungary. Gio spent much of the day asleep- he is a terrific road tripper! |
 |
| After a very pleasant night spent in Slovenia, we arrived at our house in the early afternoon on Tuesday. After enduring 3 days in the car with an over-ripe dog we quickly gave him a bath. He was less than thrilled. |
