The Denver Angelinis were in Pittsburgh visiting Anthony's family from 4/17-4/24. What a great time! Nicholas got to spend lots of time with MahMaw and PopPop. He loved them! He wasn't even afraid when we got there. He walked in the house like he owned the joint. Walked past MahMaw and said "Oh, PopPop!" then "coat, OFF!" and "shoes OFF!" He then proceeded to walk around and then danced some with MahMaw. He loved waking up every morning and bursting into their room. "Up!" then "Elmo!" where Nick, PopPop and MahMaw watched Sesame Street in bed until 7am. It was nice for me to get to sleep in knowing Nick didn't miss me one bit and was in the very capable hands of his grandparents.
Anthony and I went to Brian and Shannon's wedding and had a great time seeing Anthony's old friends. They had to practically kick us out of the Golf Club when it was over. So much fun to have a night out and not worry about getting home to relieve the babysitter!
Nick also went to the Pittsburgh Children's Museum and loved the water play there. He also spent time with Aunt Maria, "DOT!", Mamie, Sister Louise, Faye, Uncle George, Anthony's cousin, Nick who our Nick was named after, Aunt Honey, cousins Cathie, Glen, Dana, Kevin, Lesley and cousins Jim and Maria, Susie and Gayle, Mike and his favorite Pittsburgh cousins Aaron and Nick 1. He got to play ping pong, golf, foos ball, the organ and the piano. Anthony's friends, Mr. Astorino and Mr. Cavanaugh also stopped by. Nick knew he was the center of attention and would get angry and frustrated when I ran out of animals to ask him to sound out and sign. He also quickly figured out everyone got a real big kick out Nick saying, "AMEN!" after the mealtime blessing.
Nick also met Mr. and Mrs. Hanna and their adorable boys Jimmy and Freddie. Of course Nick's way of showing his friendship was to frequently hit both of them. This was a lot of fun for me and Anthony.
We were very sad to say goodbye to Pittsburgh as we had so much fun and were surrounded by friends and family we don't get to spend time with often enough. But we're grateful we did have the time and look forward to our next Pittsburgh adventure.
