I am very thankful I got to spend time with these two ...precious, sweet time!

I also got to see all my siblings.  This is my brother Bob with my dad.

This is my niece Sirena.  She is just as lovely on the inside as she is beautiful on the outside.  On a side note, her sister Madison (and yes just as beautiful) just turned 14!!!!  High School next year!!!  NO way!! 

Me & Mom

Now that is is nice out, the kids are eating breakfast out on the balcony.

Added a home-y touch to the balcony.  Some flowers (fiori) and herbs (erbi)


I've got basil, oregano, sage, mint, unidentified pepper plants, and cilantro

Noah graduated from kindergarten!!  Next year he is an elementary kid -Yikes!
