Grandma M...

This past June Michele's grandmother passed away. Michele and Sammy flew back to New York state for the funeral (we had family in town at the time so Paul could not go). It was sad to see Grandma go, but comforting to know she is now with Grandpa.

Sometimes getting a group to cooperate in a group photo is a herculean task...

Sammy's godfather...Uncle Andy with Aunt Diane...

Sammy with his cousins Noah and Ana in the pool...

Sammy is a big Yankee's fan...
...and he certainly enjoyed being in New York state...

After posting this on the blog...
...we doubt Michele's sister Sharon will pose like this again for our camera...

Michele resists Justin's peer pressure...
