Pittsburgh: The Inaugural Visit

Luke's Grammy & Grandpap Rosella recently moved (back) to Pittsburgh. Well...to Washington, PA, but same same. Luke wanted to be sure to be the first to visit their brand spanking new house, and arrived before all of the boxes were unpacked. He made himself right at home, though, as you'll see below...

It's a long drive from Hoboken, but Luke dressed for the ride

Luke got right to work, helping Grammy to keep her new floors dust and bunny free with persistent work with his "bibi" (synonymous for broom, mop, and Swiffer

But he tried to keep a low profile...
He even got his cousins, Simon and Chloe, to help with his housekeeping
But it was not all work and no fun for the cousins; Grammy allowed them a break on the sofa

Luke also earned his keep by working Grammy & Grandpap's call center, talking on the "mos" (or "phones")With two phones going at once, even...

We were also lucky to visit with old friends, The Kurtz Family. (Paul and Becks went to college together). Emma and Henry were so nice to Luke, teaching him the shotgun formation (seriously, they were really working this play!)
...and Evan took some time to show City Baby Luke what gardens, bugs, and grass look like

As with past visits, though Luke spent lots of time charming Grammy, he and Grandpap continued to specialize in Kodak moments together. It's only fair; it WAS Grandpap's birthday, after all...

They played with Legos
And Luke was apparently ready for a snack

Grandpap supervised bath time (aka "Bubbles!") - check out the Rosella Smirk!

Luke introduced Grammy and Grandpap to Ikea, and shared some water (going "glug glug") with Grandpap

Oh, Grandpap, do go on....
He tried using Jedi mind tricks to release the liquid...
He worked the cap on his own after some coaching...
Glug glug!

Luke went for a walk with Grandpap. Oh, and with Mom, too, (whatever)

They found a caterpillar...

I am crushing your head. Crush Crush

And Luke generally followed Grandpap where ever he went.


Happy housewarming!
