Happy Birthday Lori!
When I think about my childhood, I am happy because you were there with me. You were there and you helped me more than you know. One of many ways was… I remember it like a vague but pleasant dream, I would ask you to tell me bedtime stories to help me sleep and [...]
Baby Vincent photos
This was our first trip to see my three and a half month old baby nephew, Vincent, and his exhausted but completely adoring parents. Nou looked terrific for just having a baby so I give her a truck load of credit but I was told it was because Ray was the one who had all [...]
