Weekend In the 'Burgh

Last weekend, the three of us flew to Pittsburgh to see our friends Keith and Danielle tie the knot. While we were there, we visited with our friends and family and had a great time. Foti flew back on Sunday since Yia Yia was at our house, but the boy and I stayed a few more days. It was a busy trip as usual but we really enjoyed ourselves.





Pap Pap Petie took Matt for a swim in the backyard since the weather was still warm. I'm not sure who had more fun!

We visited with Great Grand Pap Paul at his home, where we did the 'kid exchange." Foti and I dropped off Matt and my Mom took him back to her home for the night so we could go to the wedding.

Pappy Bruce found his sister Janet's tricycle in the garage, so he cleaned it up and Matt had so much fun even though his feet didn't quite reach the pedals.

Someones still a sleepy head on Steeler Sunday- better wake up for the game!! Did I mention the Steelers kicked some Cleveland Boo-tay??

Our friend Danielle on her big day being escorted by her Dad. She looked absolutely gorgeous!

Foti and I with the newlyweds Keith and Danielle. They had one of the nicest weddings we've been to (no, I 'm not just saying that 'cause they read my blog!) The wedding and reception took place in a beautiful old German Catholic Church which had been renovated into a grand hall. We were so glad to be there on such a special day for them. We wish them many years of happiness together!

"Hey, Pap- where did you get all that thick black hair?"

"Hey Baby, how you doin'?"

On Monday, my Dad, LouAnn, Matt and I went to the Pittsburgh Zoo. I think we enjoyed it just as much as the little guy did!

Even though these creatures are one of the reasons I avoid swimming in the ocean, I thought it was a great photo.

Matt and his adorable cousin Katie! She stayed over one night and was like a little mom to Matt. He loves playing with her!



Matt got to experience a little more of his momma's home town- watching the Steeler game, eating "Jim's Hot Dogs", hanging out at his grandparent's house and being surrounded by his big crazy family! His Slovak Great Grandma Gerbo taught him how to say "Opa!" and someone taught him how to say, "Oh, shit", although he left off the 't'. Hmmm... It was really nice to be home with everyone. We miss you guys!!
