Family Photos

December 19, 2007

Dear Musers Who Matter,

I thought you would enjoy some family photos. The first is of my 85-year-old Mom. It was taken in Florida when my daughter Lia and I visited my Mom for several days. Notice the umbrella fountain at the right of the photo. It seems providential that it was there just as I placed an umbrella over my mother's head to protect her from the rain. Lia took this great photo. :)

Here's a photo of my precious daughters, Lia and Gina. Gina is the beauty on the left, and Lia, the beauty on the right. This photo was given to my husband and me as an anniversary gift.

This is a photo of my precious dh, Dom, and me taken this past October, our 38th anniversary month, at Cape May Point, where the Delaware River flows into the Atlantic Ocean.

We Diorios wish all of you a joyous and blessed Christmas. May 2008 be a year in which you grow ever closer to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.


Blessings,

MaryAnn

Hi MaryAnn....
Thanks for sharing photos of your beautiful family. Now we can picture each one as you include them in your messages.
I also want to thank you for everything that you continually do for all of us. This year has brought us all closer together. It is wonderful having Christian writing friends. I wish you, your family, and everyone on the blog an extra special Christmas and a spirit-filled 2008.
