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 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...

SouthDakota2008: Sammy Goes Wild in the West

We just recently finished a large family trip to western South Dakota. Paul's parents, sisters, Grant, and cousins Liz & Doug went with us. We'll be adding some entries to the blog over the next week or two (or three) with our recollections.

In some ways the vacation was bittersweet as Michele's maternal grandmother had died--so she and Sammy flew back east for the funeral and joined us a few days into the vacation.

Sammy's 2nd Year Birthday Tour: Celebration

While Sammy was back in New York for his birthday, his great Aunts and Uncles came to visit him and celebrate Great Grandma's, Poppa's (Grandpa R), and Sammy's birthdays. Here are a few photos...
