Julian Rybarczyk Bozzolo

Nan and Dawn are busy hanging out in their hospital room, so I've been given permission to present to the family (and all of cyberspace) the first Bozzolo of the new generation:

Julian!

He was born June 19 (Happy Birthday, Diego!) at around 4 a.m. with Nan's lips and sideburns and, I think, Dawn's nose. I've only heard the stories, but it sounds like Nan and Dawn handled things gracefully, given the fact that Julian came earlier than expected, and everything went perfectly. And now we have a Julian! I'll spare you all my commentary and just show the pictures...

24 years


All,

At just about this time, 24 years ago, we were landing in Iowa, with 11 bags, 8000 bucks, an Atari box, my pillow, and three toys we bought in Miami the day before. The real anniversary was yesterday, when Nan, JB, and Nati first stared at a box of Chicken McNuggets and said 'nomegusta! and then stared at a TVset and were severely disappointed because everything was in english, and we realized that for a few more months, life was going to be tough for all...
At that time, Alex and Dawn were probably deeply concerned about something related to their toys and what was for dinner that night, Guillaume was learning to walk, and Carla and Russell were tiny amounts of DNA.Major players in our family (Evita, Danger!, Bailey) were still in the drawing board. Not to mention Mr. Bozzolo, which will be around next year to celebrate the 1st quarter century of the bouzzoulous.
I was grieving the breakup of the Beatles and, like many eternal things, still am.
We should make this a Bozzolo Holiday from now on. We should also buy a condo at the beach in Delaware to celebrate this for decades to come.
Love
DAD
