Dan's 32nd Birthday

I have to post pictures of Dan's 32nd birthday before March arrives. We had two wonderful dinners at Olive Garden with family and old friends Rudi and Anne to celebrate his birthday. Olive Garden is his favorite restaurant! Happy Birthday Dan!

Brunch at Gaby's House

Gaby invited the German girls for  brunch at her house! It was a special occasion. Gaby's grandson was born two weeks ago, and we were  eager to meet  Christian! He is soo cute, but we all were surprised how little he was. He weight 7 pounds and 5 ounces at birth which is a wonderful birth weight. BUT, we all had forgotten how little babies are. . Cruz, his wonderful Mom, let us hold him one at a time. He never cried or even opened his eyes.

Happy 80th Birthday Mom

My Mom had a big birthday on January 20th, she turned 80 years old. I would have loved to be there but it just wasn't possible.

She had a great birthday dinner with family and friends. Her back seems to be ok after her two surgeries last year.

Baby Shower for Fran

We didn't have any Winter weather until the Sunday we had the Baby Shower. Freezing Rain! Anybody can drive in snow, but ice is a different matter. We moved the shower from noon to 11 am, were done at 1:30 pm, and everybody arrived back home safely! Denise of Porters Pub did a wonderful job, and a great time was had by everybody.

Fran, 5 more weeks to go!
