With cousins Maura Kate, Olivia, Owen (squirming) and Daniel (holding Alex)

My adorable, loving, oafish nephew, Daniel. Who could not love that face?

Alex with the eldest of my sister�s kids, Olivia, who is 9. Such cute girls!

Beach Baby! Relaxing in her stroller among the dunes. The whole family would head down to frolic by and in the ocean in a big herd at about 4:00 pm every day, and Alex could not be left out!

Nana and Papa read the paper and drink coffee every morning on the sun porch� Alex liked to join them!

Wedding Trip to Boca Raton, Florida

Poolside at the hotel, in her new swimsuit with Daddy!

Playing with Kristin (the bride) and Mommy the night before the wedding. She stayed out with us at an outdoor cafe a couple hundred yards from an outdoor Kelly Clarkson concert until almost 10:30, but was asleep in her carseat under the table (with Katie Kitty, of course) by 8 pm. She�s a hoot, this kid.

With Kristin, the gorgeous bride, at the most phenomenal reception ever. What a great day it was!
