Historic Charleston

What a nice family picture...



I just love this picture of Maria peaking over the
fence to take a look at the beautiful house and garden...



Yes, the first shots of the Civil War were shot right
here in Charleston.



This picture was take by my father thus why it is
a little cropped off but it was taken outside of our
Greek Orthodox church. The lamp posts have a
lot of meaning to our family. I spent many hours
standing at this lamp post playing with my cousins
and I still do. See...

Historic Moments

LONG LIVE GREECE!!!
Of course we always love to show some Greek pride...



I had so much fun spending time with
my beautiful, sweet cousins!



As most people know Charleston is one of the oldest cities in
America and it is filled with so much history.
Our cousins learned a lot of important facts
during their visit here, just take a look...



I miss you!!!

How time flies!!

I hope everyone is doing well. It has been
awhile since I last posted pictures on the blog.
I am so behind!! It was a very fun and busy summer.
We had our family from Greece come for visits and
my cousin Becca came to spend sometime with us
as well this summer. We had a wonderful time.
I will just start from the most recent visit and work
my way back. Here goes...

****
My cousin Victoria is starting her second year in the
doctorate program at the University of Maryland.
Her family came to see what life is like
for her here in America. While they were here
they came to Charleston for a visit.

Natalia had fun playing in the sand.
Long Live Greece!!



Kallirroi got to walk in the Atlantic Ocean.
It is not nearly as beautiful as the Mediterranean sea
but it is the best we have!



It didn't take long for Kallirroi to become
a 'Carolina Girl' with her palmetto shirt on...



I think that was a jump for joy!!

It's all Greek to me!!

We had a lot of catching up to do.



I had so much fun practicing my Greek while we talked.
They all speak English so well...I wish I could
speak better Greek to them but I am trying!!

Victoria looked so beautiful in her dress!



Kallirroi is truly a gorgeous Greek goddess!!

Greek time

It was so nice to see Michali again.



Brown eyed girls...

Soul Sisters!

I just love, love this picture with Natalia!!

We are family!!!

Three Beautiful Sisters...



Great food with even better company...FAMILY!!!



It was so nice being all together!!

I must say, Greek women are very beautiful...

Emma and Woody...

Both Emma and Woody came for a visit.
What a treat it was to have both of them.
Look at sweet Emma...



And the always modeling Woody...



Double Trouble!!



Okay, I know Emma looks a lot like her father
but I think if you look really hard you can see that
Emma and I have the same shaped eyes.
Can you see it?
Okay a girl can dream...can't I?!?!

Playtime!!

We had a lot of fun playing with the kids...



We played the going night-night game.
See how well Emma is putting me to bed.
I was as snug as a bug in a rug!!



Baba had fun playing with Emma as well!!



Okay, Emma was done playing now!!
I think it was time for her to go night-night.
