Maria seems to have gotten used to her bed having no 4th wall.  It still startles me when she comes in my room at 6am.

lola

She’s still with us!  (Well, I can’t prove it’s her, but I’d like to assume it is.)  Lola still fascinates me as she’s spinning.

hibiscus
Until I moved to Florida, I had no idea that hibiscus grew in the ground.  My mom always had one in a pot in our house.

Maria was given some hairclips in a bag of hand-me-downs.  Naturally she insisted upon wearing them all at once.

And now here's my generation with our grandmother, minus a few.  JP, Jay, and most of all Greg - we missed you today.


[It's hard to see, but Carmine, the groom, is holding Greg's photo.  Thanks to my sister for letting me swipe her camera for this post, as I left mine at the party house!]

As an anniversary present to my husband, I will finally post this photo he sent me from his phone about a week and a half ago.  This is how Timon found Maria one afternoon, asleep on the couch sitting up with her dih-ders.
