Housewarming/Puppy Party!!!

Thank you to all who came to our Housewarming/Puppy Party!!! It was such a success, and we are so blessed to have friends who support us (and our obsession with our dog=).

Titan had a blast as our yard turned into a dog park. Pictured below (Jodi Walle and Lucy, Louise Briggs and Annie, Mark and Kelly Skiles and Titan's Girlfriend, Chili, and Sonny Kerrigan)
We loved seeing everyone use our WHOLE house for their enjoyment- that's our dream! Below (watching High School Musical 2, I might add): Anna's Uncle Roger, Kara (Anna's cousin's daughter), Ben's Dad Tom, Ben's sister Lauren and her boyfriend Nick Renegade (just kidding, his last name is Rebel. So cool.)Titan was pooped, and this was only an hour into the party! He plopped down on the Dorothy door, but kept sliding as it's on an angle. It was pretty cute.
We are creating a band with the Novelli boys and Jack Sundstedt. Angelo Novelli is an amazing drummer (and we fully support him and his budding career), so Ben brought down one of his real drums and cymbals for Angelo to play on. Notice he is also using "Big Boy" sticks.
The band thus far: Enzo on guitar, Carter on keys and Angelo on drums (Mr. Manager Titan looks on):
*My cousin's son Nathan joined the group for their rehearsal session at the party.

Working hard on their first album, release date TBA:
I wish I'd caught more shots of everyone around the house, but I was just so busy mingling and being a hostess. =)

Thank you again for making our party so fun! (And those of you who couldn't make it, we missed you!)

Congratulations Brett and Liz!!!

Happy Birthday Titan!

What a sweet little man! He was so good wearing his hat for a picture...We decided for a special birthday treat, he would get a McDonald's cheeseburger; someone suggested a Big Mac but I couldn't bring myself to do that to one so small. =)

As soon as he realized a cheeseburger was involved, he totally forgot about the dumb hat!!!

He took such proper bites, it was so funny!!!

He'd put his whole mouth around it but then only take a little bit out at a time.

(So unlike his late Uncle Skooge who would have devoured the entire burger in one bite.)

And to think just one year ago (well, 10 months ago as we got him @ 8 weeks old) he was such a little guy...
Who could resist a face like that???

We love our little Titan Spartacus!!!
