Special Day

As many of you may know this is a special, although hard day for us. Today is the anniversary day that we briefly met our son Tony. Although he wasn't able to stay with us, I know, personally, I am very thankful I was able to hold him on this very special day. I hate that we had to say goodbye but he was my first blessing and I am now blessed with another beautiful child that I cherish every day.
I just wanted to put a post up saying I miss Tony terribly, but I am thankful for him every day. Someone I know, wrote this to me in honor of Tony and I wanted to share:

Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze?
A teardrop in the falling rain?
Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves?
Or been kissed by a lone snow flake?
Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place.
by: Carrie Latet

I think that is a beautiful poem.

Love everyone

Easter Weekend

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! I know we did. Anthony and Alyssa went to GA Thursday - Saturday to visit Tracy, Jeremy and Addy Belle. Nanny and Poppy went too. Anthony and Larry were lucky and got to go to the Masters on Friday. Alyssa had a ball staying with Nanny, Tracy and Addy Belle playing!!
They came home Saturday afternoon and we colored Easter Eggs - Grammy and Uncle Sean had to come help too :)
Sunday was a nice day......we went to church, out to lunch and then over to Nana's where we just relaxed out in the sun, ate a wonderful dinner (thanks Nana for preparing that for us!!), had an Easter Egg hunt for Alyssa and ate dessert. All in all, everyone had a great weekend. I have posted some pics I stole from Tracy of Alyssa's trip to GA (because I don't think Anthony took the camera). I have pics from yesterday on my camera that I will hopefully download today or tomorrow.
Love to all!

3 Year Check Up

Alyssa went for her 3 year check up yesterday (just a little late) :) She is a very happy healthy little girl!! She is 38 1/2 in tall and 35 lbs. She is in the 75th percentile for height and weight. She got to show off for the Dr. and count, draw a circle and do colors with him. She did great! :)
Tumblebeez was very good last night......Nanny, Poppy, Grammy and Nana came to watch. Alyssa was very happy to have so many people there. Thanks for coming!

Happy Birthday!

I would like to wish AJ a Happy 25th Birthday!!!! :)
