A Time of Celebration

Happy birthday America! This past weekend was a time to celebrate our freedom. GOD bless the United States…for it is HE who has his hand on this country and our people.

Our family is also celebrating the recovery of Dominic’s Dad. Last week, he had a stroke and is now slowly recovering. We are so happy that he is doing well. You’ll see him in the pictures below and you certainly would’t know that he is struggling to regain his health. We are excited to see a full recovery from him soon!

The weekend was filled with lots of fun activities including a parade, swimming, cooking out, a trip to the driving range and alcohol. (Is alcohol considered an activity?) I really wanted to take Giana to see the fireworks but she just didn't make it. They started at 10:00pm and she was in bed by 8:00. Oh well...there's always next year!

WOW...look a picture of me! Giana is way more into that water bottle then taking a picture but this is the only family photo I have of the three of us from the parade.

Waiting patiently for the parade to begin.

G waving during the parade...she was so happy that they were waving back to her! She doesn't like rude people and seems to call them out daily as we pass by. I wonder who she gets that from?
Dominic's sister and the rest of our family at the parade...that's Dominic on the back right...typical Dominic...the quiet loner but I suppose that what's makes him special!

My Mom and Giana waiting for the parade to start.
