Those pictures are beautiful and your mom is absolutely gorgeous! Very neat to have some culture to pass along to your child. With my Irish and Mark's German heritage, it's all we can do to keep our kids from becoming raging alcoholics.

Cuteness. Went and browsed the rest of em since I hadn't checked in a while.

And I would have to say success is in her future. She already gets to play with a pile on benjamins
