We"ll hold your hand from heaven Grandpa

We said "I love you " to Grandpa for the last time on May 25th 2007. Grandpa gave both Christopher and Leah beautiful memories and love unconditionally. Leah may never understand how much he loved her the moment she entered his life, but I am sure her heart was nurtured by his love for the 7 short months she was his grandaughter.
Christopher will miss Grandpa immensly. The memories he has will carry him into adulthood. Grandpa was always patient and kind not only to Christopher but to all he met. The love of a Grandfather is priceless. This Grandfather truly was a Gentleman who lived life to the fullest. At 93 and up until his death he lived life with a purpose. He went to 7th grade baseball games,family baptism's, parties and vacations to the beach. We were all blessed to be a part of his life. As the patriarch of his family grandpa was the rolemodel for what it is to be a real "man".

Its hard to believe!!!!!

Leah is home seven months now and continues to amaze us every day. She is able to put a smile on the face of everyone she meets. Here she is in Boston at Old South Church for the baptism of her twin cousins.


I loved this outfit. The dress was given to Leah from Dominic and his wife and the jacket was a gift from the twins parents. I couldnt resist the boots and tights and Leah looked absolutely adorable.......

When Love Takes You In

I found the video on the previous post tonight ,and remembered the last 18 months and our journey to our daughter. Leah and our love for her has taken us all in. She is, without a doubt a very special little girl who has a zest for life and a gift of putting smiles on the faces of everyone she meets. Here are a few faces of Leah.....
