When I was a teenager my younger half-sister and half-brother were adopted. I have waited a long time for the chance to see them again and get to know them. Luckily in the last few years this has happened. They are both wonderful people and I am so proud of them!

Anne Marie, the little sister I have always craved for.

Jeff, is Annes' and my brother. My middle son is named Jeff after him.

Have you ever seen a more beautiful bride!

Her dog, Chops. We have to ask Chops his friends name!
