We attended many a street fairs this summer (pic of the famous West Side Market Street Fair)
We are looking forward to our trip to Sicily and Italy in November.
HAPPY FALL TO ALL!

Jess & Pete: WE'RE BACK IN SAN DIEGO... YES!!!! Pete and I moved back to SD mid-Oct. (Thank God, L.A. sucks!) It was a long, hard year and we are both so happy to be back. Pete bought a house about 2 years ago in San Diego and we kicked out our tenants and moved in! They didn't care good care of the place and we are having to remodel and repair a lot of things, it's been a learning experience to say the least, BUT we are so happy to be home owners in a city we love!
Pretty much Home Depot ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. Pete started a new job downtown, which he is loving! It's about 10 blocks from our house- he can bike to work if he wanted to, which is a nice change from his last commute from Santa Monica to the Valley. I took some time off work since we moved back, which has been REALLY nice! We are looking forward to the holidays, a house warming party and just getting use to a new lifestyle. Miss you all! Jess & Pete
The Reust's bought a house! We purchased a home in Brunswick, we are so excited to finally be a home owner. The house is still being built and our move in date will be in Novemeber, right before the holidays. We cant wait to start decorating and settling in! We have made a couple of trips back to Seattle for Vanessa's work and plan to go back once last time this year in December. Excited to see you all for the holidays.
Alisha: Hello family! Miss you all so much! Hope to see everyone at christmas time! I recently got a new job for ZARA! They are bringing their first store to the Ohio area at Beachwood mall and i will be there visual merchandiser! So yes i will be moving back to that area when my lease is up!!!! Yah! Closer to family! I have been training in Chicago for about a week now and i have two more weeks to go! The training is okay we will see how the position is when i get back to Ohio! Other then that nothing else is new i am still with josh and everything is still really good! You will all be meeting him at christmas! I don't really have any pictures to show but here is some recent pictures with the family! Love you all!!!
Tim and Janet have been spending days outdoors, enjoying the warm summer days, with our bikes of course. We took a trip to visit Steve and Nicole. Spent a wonderful week together, hiking, boating and "mommy/ daughter" shopping while Tim was busy painting. If you know Tim he would much rather paint than shop. We also visited Nicole's school/office where we were able to view a summary of her research.
Happy fall y'all
The Kuhn's are enjoying some cooler weather in Florida and anxiously awaiting the arrival of Brother bear Tony. Timmy is very excited to be a big brother!! We are also very excited to see family this Christmas in Ohio.
Miss and love everyone 💙💙

Nicole and Steve: Since our last blog update, my dad and mom visited us in WA! Steve and I showed them all of our favorite restaurants, hiking trails, and PNW coffee shops. They were hard at work during their trip, my dad painted our front stairs and installed a sprinkler system and my mom altered my bridesmaid dresses and restored my health! We spent our evenings playing bananagrams (highly recommended game):)
This fall, Steve has had a successful trout fishing season. My school year just started. Last month one of my research articles was reported on in the Washington Post by Tim Gunn.
Steve and I are looking forward to coming home for Christmas and can't wait to spend time with Timmy and Tony!
Joe & Corrine: Absolutely nothing going on in the desert. The weather is the same every day. No pics to share. Just waiting for the world series with the DODGERS against the Indians to start.
The Bohlens: Bobby climbed Mt. Rainer (elevation 14,409') with friends at the end of August, but there are NO PICTURES at the top since it was too cold for the cameras to work and there were clouds everywhere, so we'll just have to take his word for it. While he did that, Jacque spent some time in Cleveland catching up with family. Olly's chewed off part of the fur and skin on his bottom, but he keeps on smiling. We later had to upgrade to the "comfy cone" because it's hard for him to sleep in the plastic. Bobby sends a huge thank you to everyone for all his AMAZING Americana Birthday swag. Much love to everyone!
Fall has been busy for Mario & Jane with a week at our condo that included part work and play, some babysitting of our Kentucky grandkids, watching Braden play flag football, apple-picking, a golf trip to our condo for Mario and a Washington DC trip with 8th graders for Jane. We're now getting ready for our trip to Italy including seeing Mario's place of birth. Can't wait to share pics of our trip in the next blog.
Most of the Harrisons are back in school. Braden's in 2nd grade and planning to make his first communion in May. Luke is doing another year of preschool. Harper is happy as can be to see her friends again at the babysitter's. We are also keeping busy with fall activities. Braden's playing flag football. Luke joined a Ninja Training class where he trains to be the next America Ninja Warrior, and Harper is enjoying a Mommy and Me Gymnastics class. The big debate at our house these days is who is being what for Halloween. Braden wants to be Fransico Lindor. Luke has settled on the Golden Ninja, and Aunt Janet is making his costume. Harper is going to be Minnie Mouse because I found a costume that is just her size in aisle one at Marc's. Halloween pics will have to wait until the next blog, but enjoy these late summer pictures.
The Kentucky Pavia's enjoyed a wonderful end to summer and beginning of fall. Mike went on a guys golf trip to the casino over Labor Day.....he had a blast but didn't win us a million dollars. His job has kept him very busy but all is paying off as his team is having a great year. Mario started preschool and is LOVING it. He goes twice a week for four hours a day and participates in science, art, music and of course free play. Davis is growing like crazy! He is almost as big as Mario, talks in small sentences and is so full of life. The kid is fearless and a true joy! Christie is busy keeping up with the kids, selling a few houses, working on Roos Property projects and also starting a wreath making business. Her and her mother have entered into two craft shows this winter selling holiday wreaths so fingers crossed they sell them!
We are excited to see everyone at Christmas. We don't have firm plans yet but intend to stay for a while so looking forward to catching up. Love you
The Young Pavias: We are truly keeping it young this past few months! August and September were busy months for me training for my half-marathon. I finished my race with a chip time of 2 hrs and 6 minutes (4 minutes faster than my previous record)! I have also raised a total of $2,980. My family and I appreciate all your donation, love and support. Without you, this fundraiser and race wouldn't be possible. Thank a lot as well to those who were present at the after race brunch at Rocky River Park. I appreciate all the things that you have prepared and done.
A week after the race, Matt and I went to Chicago so I can get a new passport with my married name on it. We were also able to walk around the beautiful city, and enjoyed the last few days of summer. Chicago was really lovely and we were glad to see it's summer beauty.
A month after our Chicago trip, we flew to Las Vegas! It was my first time to see this city and boy was I mesmerized and overwhelmed. On our firt day, we walked on the strip and later that night saw The Beatles Love Cirque Du Soleil show. The show was Uh. Ma. Zing. I couldn't describe it in words and if you haven't seen it and you're a Beatles fan like us, you have to see it for yourself. On our second day, we went to the Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area and hiked a little bit. The desert was gorgeous and made us feel so small. That night, we went to Downtown Vegas and it was an entirely different story; the lights, the people performing, the tourist who are composed of newlyweds, drunks, families, the food and drinks, the merchandise and a lot more! We didnt gamble and drink at all but still had tremendous amount of fun!
In between these months, we were also able to see a Cavs Preseason Game, an Indians game before the playoffs and the first UFC pay per view here in CLE. We went apple picking with the whole family and to my very first Clam Bake. I am also in a new classroom and now teaching preschoolers. And I have gotten my drivers license and been driving everyday to and from work.

Hey family:
I'm late again for my blog post..but I'm getting better at it!
It's been a busy month down here. my gf Evelyn and i were able to sneak away for labor day week on a no plan plan trip to visit our family roots over in Italy! We ate, we drank, we explored. It was awesome And one week wasn't enough time! We somehow got to Amsterdam for the last two days for our flight home, which is probably one of the coolest cities I've ever been able to visit. I also got promoted at work when I got back, so September and October have been really good to me. Love you all and can't wait to see the Indians beat up on the stinking cubs!
