Bianca’s Wedding Shower

Bianca is getting married and so that means wedding shower. A bunch of family and friends gathered at Markland Wood Golf Club to fetĂȘ Bianca and in addition to whatever games were played and food was eaten there were photographers present.
Roberto was the official photographer and posted his images to flickr (available only to family, [...]

my dad plays ball

Watch my dad play ball (the “cute” redhead with glasses) with his cousins outside his childhood home. Very cool video, converted into digital format by another (not-pictured) cousin.

But in all the hustle and bustle of [...]
