Jacob's First Communion

/>

Jacob received his first Holy Communion today! He was excited and everything went great. After church, we came back to the house and had a little celebration with our family. Isn't he handsome?! He is holding the same missalette that his Dad held at his First Communion. We gave him a cross tie pin for his special day.

Congratulations, Jacob!

Baby Anthony!

I'm finally an aunt! It's true! My beautiful nephew, Anthony Robert Alejandro, was born today at 12:12 pm weighing 7 lbs. 14 oz. and measuring 19 3/4 inches. Congratulations Melissa and Rick! I am so excited!

Proud daddy and new mommy.

I love this photo. Melissa framed it and gave it to me as a gift. I am so blessed to have been a part of this day and so grateful that I was there to support my sister. She is going to be a wonderful mother.

I'm your Aunty!!

Grandpa and Grandma Pagonis. Great Yia Yia Pagonis. We love you, baby!

Jacob wove this special little blanket for Anthony. He worked really hard trying to get it done in time for his birth. Blue and orange for U of I, of course!
