Sandra's Quinceanera

I have known Sandra for only a few years, but she has grown into such a lovely young lady. She was a lot of fun and willing to try most of the poses I suggested. Congratulations on your special day!!!! Below is a preview of a few pictures.

Introducing Gabriel Ignatius

Gabriel is such an angel. Maddie couldn't get enough of him and just wanted to hold him.

Peter is a very proud and happy Big Brother!

It's a Boy!

Becky and Phil welcomed a little boy to their beautiful family on Monday, March 24th a little after 5pm. His name is Gabriel Ignatius! Gabriel and Mommy are doing great!

Maddie and I cannot wait to hold Gabriel! I will post pictures as soon as I can. I bet Peter, the big brother, is thrilled to have a future "partner-in-crime." :-)

Congratulations Phil & Becky!!!!!

Easter

We had a full day of fun and good times with family and friends! We are very blessed.

Cordelia's Birthday Celebration

Maddie had a blast dancing and watching her Aunt Cordelia perform. What a great way to celebrate a birthday!

All together now, "the bear went over the mountain . . ."

Maddie took her job, to present the flowers, very seriously.

San Dimas Family Festival

We had a blast at the Easter festival. It was definitely eventful. We stopped to look at the animals at the Animal Rescue table/booth, which included a hawk, turtle, snake, spiders, etc. Next thing we know, the hawk attempts to fly toward us. Needless to say, I screamed and grabbed Maddie to move away from it. A guy a few feet away from us said to me, I don't blame ya cuz I was scared from over here. Too close for comfort.

Maddie is on the hunt!

Maddie loves her sprinkles!

Maddie is a budding photographer! She took this pic of her Dad.

Nice composition Maddie!

GardenFest

Maddie attended the GardenFest at Hillcrest (Assisted Living Community for Seniors) in La Verne on Saturday, March 1st. She got to do arts and crafts, the bunny hop with a couple of the Easter Bunny's assistants, plant a marigold, take a tour of their vegetable/fruit garden and almost eat dirt pudding with a gummy worm, but decided against it . . . so Mom ate it! Can't let good dirt go to waste! :-)
Gotta love the bunny hop.

A budding artist. :-)

Got worms????

She had to have one on her forehead!
