It has been a busy time for our family this month! We've had two happy occasions over the past two weekends. One was in Colorado, where my youngest grandson turned one year old! He had a joyful barnyard themed birthday party with many family and friends. There were lots of delicious foods to snack on, music and singing time led by a local talented musician, and delicious cupcakes which we all thoroughly enjoyed! A few days afterward this Nonna and Nonno flew back home to New York City, just in time to get ready for another very happy occasion.......
Our daughter's bridal shower! Family and friends again shared in our happiness and generously showered our daughter with beautiful gifts galore! It was a very exciting, loved filled day and one we will always cherish and remember.
With all these special occasions I have been so busy that I have not had much time to catch up, both with reading your blogs and answering comments on mine. I promise to get back on schedule this week. Meanwhile, I am taking time to be thankful for all my blessings and savor them a little longer. Be back very soon!
I'm linking up a little late with Mary at the Little Red House for her wonderful Mosaic Monday event. Thanks, Mary!

You have had a busy month, Pat... Can't believe that your new grandson is already ONE... Mercy--how time is flying. He's a cutie --and so is his older brother...
And your daughter's shower looked wonderful also. Those are great pictures of her--and I like the one of the groom-to-be also.
Congrats!!!

Reading your blog reminds me of how fast time does fly:)
It's great to be able to celebrate such happy family occasions! Our month was a busy one as we had a daughter marry on March 17!
I love to see your pictures of New York City. This is a place I have never visited, and the likelihood of that happening is very slim, so it's nice to see the city through your eyes.
I like the idea of cupcakes for the birthday party. Watching a baby destroy a full size cake has always bugged me but the cupcakes are just the perfect size.
Wow. The cake for the shower looks bigger than many wedding cakes. Really pretty.
Funny how I am focusing on the cakes...I think I have a craving.
Good times! The shower looks lovely! Enjoy your family time!
The babies are adorable!
Love love love all those happy smiles! I've been so busy too--hardly had time to visit anyone's blog so I have A LOT of catching up to do. Happy Springtime!

Pat enjoy these wonderful times with the family. We all understand. Just have a good time.
Looks like you did a great job. yvonne
I was wondering when that little guy had was turning one! How exciting. And congrats to your daughter. Isn't that exciting...I am just coming on board with wedding planning at this end. Exciting.
Oh, Pat. Just look at the sweet faces on those two little fellows. They are adorable. And, I know you can't get enough of them.
Your daughter is beautiful. She definitely favors you. The shower must have been so much fun. The big day is approaching soon.
Hi dear Pat,
I loved seeing your joyful occasion.
Re: your words on my posting. I too have LOTS and lots of containers filled with perennials, annuals, veggies, flowers, and 15 dwarf fruit trees. I still garden in the ground, but some of my plants have traveled with me for the past few decades, from apartments to condo, condo to cabin, cabin to cottage, and now they're here in our little city of SLO.
Sending love across the miles,
Sharon
Hi Pat! I wanted to come by and say hi! I love your beautiful photos integrating each beautiful celebration! What fun! I hope the COlorado family is well. This darn fire is really awful and I pray for all the families who have lost so much.
I hope you have a beautiful weekend, you are amazing.
Hugs Anne
Happy times indeed! Such fun to see your joyful family photos.
Already 1 year? God time really pass fast! I'm sure Nonno & Nonna enjoyed their time with the little ones.....and they dreamed about another one as soon as their daughter ties the knot.....
My mantra is "celebrate everything" and you do so with such glee!
