Trip to Denver

We started out our trip to Denver at the Peoria Airport,

where Taz loved crawling all over the small empty airport.

This is particularly exciting to us since he just

recently started getting good at crawling.

After a long day of travel with an hour and a half layover

in the Chicago airport we spent New Years Eve with all of our extended

family at my grandpa Franks's house. We enjoyed bagna caulda.

Taz was fully adopted into the Francone family as he took his first bite

of bagna caulda and thought it was the best thing ever!!

We all enjoyed hearing the famous singing quartet :

Frank, Frank, Doug and Stuart. And Deanna, Mom and I joined in at the end.

Down in the basement all the kids were gathered playing

games and running all around the room.

On Sunday our second day there Deanna had several people over to

practice a musical number for church. Most of us were at the kitchen

table eating. All of a sudden Dan comes in and asks if Aaron was downstairs in

the basement. He had been down there pretty recently so I thought he

might still be. After a couple minutes I realized that Dan still hadn't found Aaron.

We all started searching for him all over the house. Fe finally found

him curled up on the floor of a small closet hiding from all the commotion.

Later when I tried to take his picture he ran and hid under a bed.

Deanna got out an old baby toy - a bouncer. Her kids just loved

playing with the bouncer and kept Taz entertained for hours...

Tax spent some nice time with his Great Grandpa Frank.

Taz sure enjoyed "Pony Boy" a lot.

And Taz met his Great Grandma Penny for the first time!!
