Pretty nice little Saturday...

Saturday, we headed down to Gilroy for Marco to meet Jeff's family. It was a very overwhelming day since he got to meet his Great Grandma, cousins, aunts and uncles, but of course, he was fabulous. Here he is charming his Nonna in the four generations photo. Everyone is smiling, so he must've been saying something really sweet. Or maybe telling a joke.

The Gilroy Crew gave Marco a couple pairs of John Deere socks, so he would remember his farming roots. Hee!

Marco got a lesson from his older cousins in bullying. Tommy is shaping up to be quite the playground bully, taking every opportunity to put the smack down on poor Marco. I didn't post the entire portfolio of photos here, but here are just two of the incriminating ones.
Trying to eat Marco. Et tu Clara?
He slept on the drive home and continued to sleep in the bucket. It was such a nice day, Jeff and I decided to make a fabulous dinner. So, he made homemade fettucine pasta and I made an amatriciana sauce and a salad. We got everything prepared waiting for Marco to wake up, so that dinner would be a cinch to put together.

Here's Jeff's fab pasta. Yes, Linda, he used the superfino zero zero flour.




Here's my prep work, which was a well-executed plan.Marco awoke and was very cooperative, sitting quietly in his bouncy chair through dinner. We continue to be very lucky with our little prince!

I'm terribly sorry we weren't present to discipline our little assailant. He's supposed to be Jeff in the lineup... not Mike. We apologize for our son. I'm guessing Marco's going to be a lot taller than Tommy down the line so I'm sure he'll get even.

Looks like I won't be called upon to do much babysitting for Marco in the future...

Disclaimer: No grandsons were hurt in the making of this picture.

(It certainly looks terrible though!)

And Tommy is a sweetie pie...definitely not the bully portrayed in this photo.

We should have known that Tommy didn't want to share the spotlight. He's such a diva.

Mike said...

Don't forget...Tommy is Irish.

Now that I've seen Marco's Oak-town shots (above)... I've reconsidered.... maybe Tommy was just "jumping" Marco into the gang! Now he's one of them!

Hopefully Joseph Ignatius and 'santa' Clara can still be saved.
