New Favorite Shirt

I have a hunch we'll be seeing this garment a great deal going forward.

October/November

Getting ready for Sandy.

Halloween at School.

Pittsburgh

Marlowe visited Pittsburgh over the weekend.

Enjoying gelato at Mercurio's, near dad's friend Peter's home.

Paying his respects to Pittsburgh's famous Primanti Brothers, where he ate delicious toasted bread.

Posing in front of Pirates' icon Roberto Clemente's statue outside of PNC Park, the finest ballpark in America as far as Marlowe is concerned.

Standing before a statue of another Pirate great, Willie Stargell...

whose commemorative U.S. Postal Service stamp happened to have been unveiled on the night Marlowe visited PNC Park.

Utah/July 4 Half-Birthday

Marlowe spent the past week in Park City, Utah. During his visit, he celebrated his half-birthday on the 4th of July.

Representing the USA on Independence Day/his half-birthday.

More of the same.

#plankaday (around 30 seconds)

Marlowe delighted in seeing his friendly neighborhood muskrat swimming in the pond near Grandma Sherry's Utah home. Here's a picture of the muskrat taking a break from swimming.

A chance moose sighting during a walk in Grandma Sherry's neighborhood on Sunday proved the highlight of this Utah trip.

Return to Waikiki

Marlowe departed Lanai to return to Waikiki for dad's conference. Before leaving, Marlowe visited his new friend Leila, daughter of dad's friend Joe from college.

Leila's home featured a number of delights, including back yard reptiles.

Dog the Bounty Hunter resides near Leila's home. Here is a shot of his gate.

Lanai

Marlowe enjoyed Lanai a great deal.

He frolicked on the grounds...

enjoyed the beach...

worked on his tennis...

enjoyed some QT with mom...

dug in the sand...

fed the Koi...

and made wonderful messes with ice cream and rainbow sprinkles.

Lanai Calling

After a couple of nights in Waikiki, Marlowe headed to Lanai.

Mom's hand-written boarding pass for the flight to Lanai.

Marlowe's first experience heading up a ramp for a flight.

Our arrival in Lanai.

Marlowe was pleasantly surprised by the hotel arrival kit, which included a stuffed animal named Douglas, sponge letters spelling his name, and a Marlowe-sized robe and slippers.

Hawaii

Marlowe spent the first week of June in Hawaii. He started off in Waikiki (part of Honolulu), then proceeded to Lanai (where his parents honeymooned), then returned to Waikiki for his dad's conference.
