Four Generations. Me, my son David, his daughter Melissa and her daughter Ava June

My three sons, D'Angelo,my middle son, David, my oldest son and Tony, my youngest


Ooops! Cut the top of Davids' head off....gosh I am horrible at taking pictures!

D'Angelo and Tony

Tony my soon to be minster. He has a little over a year left before he graduates from seminary.

My beautiful daughter in law Lori. She is amazing and so beautiful inside and out!

Me with two of my beautiful daughter in laws

Lori and Mica

My granddaughter Abrianna. She is the daughter of Tony and Mica and she looks alot like me !!

Vince, my first born grandson and Abrianna's big brother. He is so talented!

He plays piano, guitar and sings and is a wiz on the computer...many times he has helped me out of a jam. I bonded with he and his sister last year. It was so fun hanging out with them.


Donovan, my grandson. His daddy is D'Angelo and his Mommy is Lori. He is so into the civil war it is amazing to watch him pretending to me a blue coat soldier!

This is Chase, my husbands daughter's son.

Hubby's granddaughters Riley and Alex

Hubby's daughter Cathy and Teri his daughter in law and mother of Riley and Alex

Donovan in is cute little hat. He is such a smart and grown up boy for 8 years old.

Okay okay, are you ready? Here she is....my first great grand daughter Ava June!




So there you go...my family.
I had a wonderful time with good food, lots of hugs and conversation. I bonded with Donovan as I have not done in the past. Heart to heart talks with my boys and my daughter in laws and lots of love with my grandchildren. I miss them already.
