It's A Girl!

There is a brand new addition to our family, not in my house, but it is my first Great Niece from my side of the family. Gianna Rose was born on April 9, (her fathers birthday) everyone is doing fine and are very happy. There is a part that is bittersweet though, as I talked about in the previous post, my sister (the baby's grandmother) could not be here to see and hold her new granddaughter. But we know she is watching and loving just as if she were still with us. Please keep good thoughts for us because even though it is a very happy time, there is such a big part that is sad because my sister is not here to share it with us, and you can't believe how that hurts.

Take care, and Happy Easter.

Great Uncle!!!

There is something happening within my family that is very exciting right now. My oldest niece is going to be a mom, very soon we will have a number of greats in my family. Great grandparents, great aunts and uncles, and new grandparents, she is due April 13th. Dana is my first of niece and nephews, I think back when she was born and it caught me off guard how I would be hooked. I was 19 years old then and I thought nothing of calling off my plans with friends and going out if I found out Dana was coming to visit. She is the daughter of my only sister, who passed away in February 2008, it was a very hard time for our family and we are sad that her mom will not be here to see her new grandchild. At the same time we are very happy with this little one just around the bend, I put a few pics in this post that Dana asked me to shoot. I also photographed her wedding in July of 2007, her mom was still with us then and we are thankful for that, we know that she is watching and loving all of us and soon will have a new family member to love.

Thanks for stopping by,
Dino
