July 2009

I'm trying to get everyone up-to-date here but July is going to take a while due to the crazy hectic month we had. First we had July 4th which is a very important holiday in my family due to it also being my great-grandmother's birthday! She turned 100 years old this year so we had a big bash for her down in the surrounding Birmingham area. The two days prior to her party we had all of our family up to celebrate the holiday in Huntsville. To say the very least it was a lovely and memorable weekend. Most importantly to me was seeing Dede, my great-grandmother, and our other relatives who live out of town meet Joe for the first time. Dede and Joe had some wonderful pictures made together and some also with her other great-grandbaby, Adalin, by one of our talented friends, Katie. We also had our famous 5 Generation picture with Dede, Grandmama, Mama, Adam and Adalin, and me and Joe. They were the sweetest pictures that I will hold dear my whole life. The entire weekend was just fabulous to say the least!
