HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yeah, I know, I know! I have been terrible! No updates in like... forever. No excuses, besides just plain lazy. So, I'll just start with a few pictures from my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary, November 7, 2009. My brothers and I had an open house for them at their house. It was very nice to have all of us together (parents, three brothers, two sister-in-laws, hubby and son) for the first time since my wedding (minus the kid). Many of my parent's family, friends and neighbors stopped by to congratulate them on on such an awesome feat. Dad's aunt and cousin flew up from Mississippi, another aunt and uncle drove down from Michigan and his cousin and his wife came down from Toledo. And we had others from Louisville, Sidney, Kettering and Springboro bring their well wishes. Besides my parents, there were two other anniversaries celebrated that day. My brother Mike and his wife Kate celebrated 12 years. And friends from my dad's Yorktown, VA Navy days, the Sellati's celebrated 39 years. Congrats to all!
