Arbëreshë Picnic
Bubbles were blown! Babies were bounced! Nonna made an incredible array of delicious foods and we all chowed down! At one point I passed Sol to somebody friendly-looking and didn’t get him back for two hours, which is the hallmark of a well-functioning extended family gathering if you ask me.
Bonus pictures: vampire baby! You can see his first teeth coming in.
And here he is just making a funny baby face:

I really like the cart (?) in the first picture. Your boys are all so adorable. Sol is a hoot with his funny face and his vampire teeth. He also looks very healthy. Love to all there.

What does “Arbëreshë” mean?

Sam’s family are Arbëreshë, it’s an ethnic group made up of Albanians who emigrated to Italy. So, Albanian-Italian. But they have their own language and some unique cultural markers.
