In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit. -Marge Kennedy

I like the above quote, because it sums up my thoughts of my family!! Created by the memories we share, the commitment of time and the caring and love we show to one another. I am truly blessed with the mom’s I now have, through birth and marriage. Anthony and I are spoiled, loved and cherished by our mothers–we know they speak highly of us and boast about us by the stories they share to their friends and co-workers. But this is all due to THEM… to our Mother’s yelling, scolding, loving, correcting, listening, feeding, laughing and so much more. Anthony and I are thankful that we are the people we are today, because of YOU (and dad’s help too). Thank you for being wonderful mothers, selfless, patient and pretty. Words can’t express what our hearts feel. Hugs and kisses from your kids.

Here are a few pictures… which makes me think, WOW we need to take more pictures of each other. These were the only ones I could find of the two of us! Shame on me.

We LOVE you Roz and Pat–the best Momma’s around!!

Love AP & Danielle
