Hi, I'm Cheryl. An extended part of the family that just wanted to add a few mom pictures for everyone to enjoy.

Mom & me

Will get back later with more details but for now all I can say is that they eventually made a TV show about our romance- Beauty and the Geek,,,, Poppa V

Happy Birthday!

Okay, I know this is supposed to be a blog for Mom and Dad, but without them, we wouldn't have:

My little brother Michael, who celebrated his 23rd birthday yesterday! Twenty three!

I will be the first to say that I was not to thrilled to find out that a baby would be joining our family. It was fine the way it was; I was too old (13!) to become a big sister! LOL. But life has a way of knowing what you need to go through in order to get to where you need to be, and I think having had the opportunity to be a big sister at such an old age gave me great insight into being a parent. Michael added so much to our family--many laughs, good memories, exciting adventures, that I think my teen years would have been a lot more boring without him around to entertain my friends and I!

And because I don't have many digital photos of the birthday boy, I am adding these, from the 40th Anniversary party.

Does ANYONE have ANY photos where EVERYONE looks good all in the SAME photo?! Please let me know if you do! I don't have Photoshop, but I'd really like to switch some heads between photos, LOL. I'd like to make a gift, but I don't have ONE suitable photo! :(

And because it's "Eye Candy Friday" in blogland, I added a little eye candy, LOL.
