Wedding Song

Mom & Dad have been married for 55 years. WOW...
     Tonight Rachel & i joined them at the Italian American Club, where they shared their special night with us and many of their friends. We had a really good time... especially Rachel, because she was the "Belle of the Ball"... the club president asked her to help him pick the winning ticket for the 50/50 drawing... and then he proceeded to guilt the winner into giving her a "tip" for picking his ticket! (I couldn't believe the guy didn't think of it himself, really!).  Then one of Nana's friends rewarded her for her outstanding dancing! LOL... She was SO excited to be out with the grown ups on such a special occasion!

 Took this shot before we left the house...

It was a really nice cake...

From the left, My Dad, Rachel, Me, Uncle Babe & Mom... the rest of the table decided to sit out the picture ;-)

In The Summertime

Just some random shots of some random cuteness... and beauty around the house...

 She felt like posing again
 Do I look cute?
 This beauty found it's way onto our lanai... It took me a couple of hours to try to coax it back out to the yard...

So beautiful..

Our Story

My photo
We are the proud parents of a beautiful little girl. I have not stopped smiling since the moment they placed her in my arms. We adopted her Sept 2008 and it's been nothing but wonderful! She is the best reason to open my eyes every day! Currently living in SW Florida. I've also become a MAJOR Twilight junkie, so now I'm told I'm a TWI-MOM & I LOVE it!
