Springing forward

Happy Spring to you all! Happy birthdays to Danielle, Robert and to Nick, Thomas and Lindsay coming right up. All is well here with us. The spring season is underway and this seems to be our busiest time. It will be nice to get outside, won't it?

A little bit of news in your family history: I need to confirm this, but I think I have reached back another generation and have located the parents of your great-greatgrandmother Antonia Isoldi (Marguerite's grandmother). And--here's something special to note: Antonia's mother's name is SARAH!! Isn't that interesting? As I said, it still needs to be confirmed but it's always very exciting to find another generation. I just love the way names flow through the generations.

Easter Mystery

Can you believe it's almost Easter? It doesn't seem quite right, but here's a little mystery for you to ponder as you enjoy the Easter ham and jelly beans. Who ARE these people? Aunt Josie thought perhaps the older girl might be Madeline Manzelli and the boy her brother Joseph, but Madeline was about 6 years YOUNGER than Joseph so something isn't right. Any ideas?

And Happy Easter to you all!

Hello March, Hello spring (?)

I am always very grateful when February is done. For a short month, it usually feels like it drags on and on. I hope February break was great for anoyone lucky enough to get one! You may have heard that James and Ryan were able to visit Kathleen and Nick for a couple of days. Great hospitality on Aleta Drive!!

Lots of birthdays to celebrate this month! Pat, Jean, Amy, Danielle and Robert--happy birthday to you! James and I now have our first grand niece in the family--her name is Delany (niece Jessica and Sean's 3rd child) . She's a February baby, but her brother Aiden has a March birthday also. It's a busy month.
