I will miss the good times that we had
but they are all written in my heart and my mind.
My very beautiful sister and myself on the morning that she and her family left to go back to Virginia. We may be geographically apart but I found out that we are as close as sisters should be in heart and mind. I love you Suzanne.
My neice Cati packing up to leave for home.
My crazy, quirky, loving nephew Nicholas. What an incredible guy he is.
Amanda, the latest addition to the family, holding Isaac another new addition to the family on the night that she and Josh announced that there would be yet another new member to the family in July. Amanda, you couldn’t fit better if you were custom made.
My grand-nephew Isaac.
Josh, Dad and Adam around the table talking about “guy stuff.” It did my heart good to listen to them together.
Another grand-nephew Lane. What’s up tough guy?
Family gathered around the table, eating pizza and talking about anything and everything.
Little Princess DT. Have you ever seen a more beautiful little girl, neither have I.
My nephew Colin’s wife Sarah. An incredible woman and the best of mother’s. I love you Sarah and I am proud to call you neice.
My youngest brother Matthew in a pose that I have held in my mind for many a year. The men-folk of this family make some damn fine jazz.
Uncle Steve, my oldest brother and organizer of the whole event.
Emily making music for her beloved grandpa. A sweeter girl you will not find anywhere.
“Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sister.” Abby and Sarah precious neices that I have had the honor and pleasure of getting better acquainted with on my trips south. Thanks Abby for the green peanut MnM’s!
A rare shot of my nephew Andrew. He is actually sitting still.
Massimo doing what Massimo does best, entertaining the ladies.
My grand-neice Taylor. I could just drown in those eyes.
I think that the looks on their faces says it all. My nephew Greg, brother Chris, his wife Sharon, (Greg’s mom) and my mother.
My dad, the reason for all of us being together and getting together for this big shindig.
Uncle John, possibly the goofiest man that God ever put on this planet. One of the most loving too.
Abby and Princess DT and cousin Claire in the background.
My neice Kati and my sister holding her grandson Ethan.
Sarah.
Megan.
My sister-in-law Sharon holding her granddaughter Taylor. Sharon, if you had been born my sister I couldn’t love you more.
This is just a small sampling of the pictures taken and of all the people that were there. My parents have 54 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren with two on the way along with their own 8 children plus 6 daughters in-law and 2 sons in-law. That is one big family and growing each year.

Wow! What a huge and loving family. And you give such heart-felt compliments. Your words really show the love between you all.
Very nice.
How wonderful! It reminds me of my dad’s family’s reunion a few years ago. We took over a little town in Southern Illinois. Such wonderful memories
Sweet, sweet family…Yes, the faces say it all. Your father is so handsome and in such a sweet way. The emotions in these pictures are so very evident… (((super tight hugs)))
WOW great family pictures. Glad you all were able to be together.
