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.

C*I*T*A*D*E*L

We had fun at the Citadel Basketball banquet this year.
Matt Clark spoke on behalf of all the basketball players and
he paid tribute to Baba...Bulldog Barney and his red nose!!



Matt is a great player and a wonderful young
man. He and all the other teammates really love Baba.

We already miss the college basketball season...



Okay, maybe it is the guys I really miss!!

It's two Woody's....

Woody say hi to Woody!!



Woody has good taste...



Good taste in everything...



Looks like Woody still has a thing for Marilyn...
what can we say, it is in his genes!!

Strike a pose...

Woody is our very own Greek model.
Look at him pose...



More modeling from Woody...we could have a
career possibility here...Hello, Baby GAP!!



But Woody had to remind us that he has a very macho
side to him as well. Look at him flexing is muscles...

Seeing Double...

Isn't that cute, Woody and Uncle Barney dress alike!!



Wait for me, please!!



Hey, where did everyone go??



Okay, maybe Woody does look like his mother Chrissy...

March 25th...

HAPPY GREEK INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!!



To celebrate Baba brought home a cute
little cake with the Greek flag on it and
Mama sang the Greek National Anthem:
Hymn to Liberty
Imnos stin Eleftheria.



Long Live Greece!!!
