Okay, it's been way too long since I've given an update on my adorable nieces and nephews! Hold on, it's kind of a long post, but I couldn't narrow down which pictures to share!
In March, I headed to Cleveland for Scarlet's first birthday. It was a real treat because my sisters came in from out of town too. It is rare that we are all in the same place at the same time, so it was a special couple of days.
Isn't Scarlet the cutest!? I just adore these pictures of her with the gerber daisy.
Here she is with my Grampa, who turned 97 a few weeks prior. They are both doing Grampa's signature "thumbs up" pose!
Eating her birthday cake with Grampa (my dad). Grancy made Scarlet her very own little cake.
I think I've been a neglectful aunt and have failed to introduce my newest nephew Patrick to my dear blog readers until now. This is Justine's sweet baby brother... now 8 months old and just making his first appearance on the blog. He is the sweetest little boy! I'm headed out to visit Patrick, Justine and my sister and brother-in-law for the 4th of July and can't wait to see them again!
Just look at that smile and those great eyes! He's going to be a heartbreaker for sure.
Tate is so fun and full of joy! I love playing hide-n-go-seek with him!
Pretty Justine...
When Scarlet met Patrick...
I love how she tried to share her ball with him. 
How sad is this? Here's the best picture of the 4 of them together that I got. And only Patrick is looking at the camera. The kids just want Auntie to play! Justine is always making me put my camera away! But I love it - because it captures the chaos of the day. And it makes me laugh!
I do love this picture of Justine. I think it really captures her spirit. She was so excited to play with a "real" microphone.
Just hanging out, sitting on Grampa's knee.
I love this sweet picture of Scarlet sleeping in her Gramma's arms (my mom).

Linda and J.J. :: Married :: Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church, Potomac, Maryland
Last Saturday, J.J. and Linda were wed in a beautiful ceremony at Our Lady of Mercy in Potomac, Maryland. They both have such lovely families and it was a real treat to get to meet them all.
I love this photo of J.J. and Linda's moms walking up to the altar for the candle lighting.
Linda described this moment as full of joy. As she stood there, her father holding her arm, the doors to the church opened and everyone she loved was on the other side, looking back at her. I think it shows on her face!
I love this picture, where Linda sneaks a little peak at her new wedding ring.
Check out more of my favorites in the SLIDESHOW!
Hope you are enjoying the "Beach! Beach! Beach!", J.J. and Linda!
