It hardly seems possible ... that our new grandson has reached the grand old age of one year. Was it not yesterday that we visited Dani in Albany Medical Center to greet our brand new grandson as he made is way into the world?

Here's the brand new baby just one year ago.

But last October turned into the new year and then that year went through its winter, spring and summer and now fall is here once again, albeit a very warm one. The younger Lundbergs came down to Brooklyn from Connecticut (last year this time they were living up near Albany) and we had a great little birthday party at our neighborhood pizzeria, Amorina. The party was held down here so family and friends could join in. And Mary and Brian, Eric's parents (a.k.a. the elder Lundbergs), drove up from Maryland to celebrate.

Here's the birthday boy, with tie no less, with the other grandparents, Mary and Brian.

We took over Amorina on a beautiful fall day (the restaurant opens at 5pm so we were given two hours on our own from two to four. Pizza, ziti, lasagna, eggplant parmigiana, salad, beer and wine - and, to top it all off, Stacey's famous chocolate cake, decorated and customized just for Ethan!

Is this cute, or what?

Mommy loves Ethan.

Grandma, what's that?

Grandma, that was silly.

Ethan has learned to point. So has the family.

Doreen obviously finds guys with pointy hats very boring.

Here's Amorina on Vanderbilt Avenue near Prospect Place in Brooklyn's Prospect Heights - a great neighborhood place for delicious pizza, salads and molto autentico Italian dishes.
