Indy trip - August 2009

George Colombo 1959-2009

George was as much family as he was a friend. I have known George since I was 12. I lived with him for a year and a half in my early 20's and had a great time and many fond memories of that time. It was when I met Seth, who George allowed to come over to visit against his rule of no boys allowed! I was 23! That was George, always overly protective of those he loved. Seth and George bonded immediately and had a special and dear friendship from then on out. George will be missed for so many things, most of all his HUGE heart and generousity, his one of a kind since of humor and his way with people. George never met a stranger.

I am so glad we took these pictures and got to see him in August.

We love you George and have you in our hearts always.

My Mom came up from Florida at the same time and had a brunch with her close family and friends to celebrate her first grandbaby! From Left to right: One of my best friends Jacquie, Mary, Linda, my Mom, Cathy and Peggy.





This little bikini is the cutest thing I have ever seen!!! I couldn't believe how little the top was! When I showed it to Seth he asked who bought it for us and then said "I need to watch out for that woman!". Get ready daddy, this is nothing! Wait till she's a teenager and who knows what she'll be wearing!!



Seth and I went out to my grandpa Pappy's house and visited with my family. He lives outside of Indy, out in the country. We don't get to go there very often, so it was nice to sit outside with the family and enjoy nature. A big change from LA! From left to right, my unlce Jullian, Aunt Tonja, my Dad and Pappy.

The baby shower!!
Seth's sisters and my best friend Jacquie threw this for me!



This was a hand made cake by our sister in law, Jacqui. She should go into the cake biz!!! It was delicious and so cute!!

These were made by my dear friend Jacquie. This was the party favor for all the guests to take.

The shower was at Seth's parents house. They really outdid themselves with all of the decorations. It was so cute and festive!!

Presents! This is a crystal bank, in the shape of a teddy bear, given to us by Rosalee, a dear Goldstein family friend. Such a sweet gift.

My friend Shelley got me a "hooter hider" for breast feeding. I love it!

From left to right: My great aunt Irene, great aunt Shirley and my aunt Tonja.

It was great to see them!!

One of my bestest friends, Jacquie. We've known each other for almost 10 years. She's the one who first took me to the dance club where we became regulars during the summer of 2000 and where I met my future husband and baby daddy! I'll always be grateful!

Seth's sisters from Left to right: Tiffany, Elise, Joscelyn and Jacqui. I love them all and was so appreciative of the wonderful shower they threw!

BTW...between these girls, there are 9 grand children already!! That makes #10 for our little babe on the way!

The mom's and proud grandma's:

Seth's mom, Cassie, on the left and my mom, Janice, on the right.

My dear friend Shelley. We have known each other the longest...since 1st grade. This was the first time we have seen each other in 7 years!! She recently moved back home to Indiana, so when I go home from now on I will get to see her which is wonderful!! She is a mom to 2 sweet and adorable boys who I got to meet for the first time.

Another dear friend, April and her daugter Alli. We also haven't seen each other in several years, so it was wonderful to see her!! I have known her since I was 12 as well, when she became my "big sister" and guided me through my teenage years. Whew...that must have been tough!! :-) She was a huge influence on my life growing up and I love her dearly.
