Nathan StarStuck

You read that right, or did you? It's Star-Stuck, not StarStruck or StarBucks. They should add the word to Wikipedia. Brad and family will surely relate.

Nathan accompanied me as usual to the grocery store and there he found a bowl of Starburst at the Customer Service counter. It said "Help March of Dimes - 3 pieces for 25 cents". Of course Lil' Fof reached up and grabbed one without depositing a quarter and tried to unwrap it. He couldn't quite get it, and was ready to put it into his mouth half unwrapped, so I helped him. I was glad he'd found something that would keep him occupied for awhile, instead of his usual running around and throwing everything he can get his hands on into the cart and pulling the coupons from the automatic dispensers.

A few minutes later at the Deli department he tugged on my arm, and mumbled "Papai! Papai!" in a surprized and worried tone. He opened his mouth wide for me to see the problem. He had gotten himself into an unfamiliar predicament - the sticky candy was stuck all over his front lower teeth and he didn't know what to do!

I reassured him that it was "Okay", and slowly he figured it out...

So cute, so naïve. Learn something every day. Some things more important than others.

Christmas 1993

I edited this video a while back and don't think everyone has seen it so I thought I'd post it up here. Look how young everyone is!!

Three Pics Of Lil' FOF!

1. In the first photo, the Mini Fof (Dante) was only about a week old. He looks like Mr. Magoo. Look how happy his older brother (who looks like Gilligan) is to have him!

2. Times are tough. We put Nathan to work as a gardener to help out.

3. We went to Babies ‘R Us and Nathan picked up on a little Brazilian girl, and took her for a ride in his little orange car. Man they start young these days! (I was referring to driving of course).

Dante At 10 Weeks Old!

Hey Family!

Only Gramanita has met this little guy, so I thought I'd send a quick pic to
the rest of you. It was taken with Bianca's cell phone last week, so it's
not the best resolution, but oh so cute! He's a little over 2 months old in
the photo. He still has blue eyes, light peach-fuzz hair, sort of reddish,
and has got very chubby on mommy's milk (every two hours!).

Love,

Skip
