An aDORAble 4th Birthday for Blayne







We had a Dora Adventure Party at Blayne's chioce!

We got a laugh out of the fact that the marqui this year announced her size as opposed to her age. We just figured they were helping out anyone who was considering buying her something to wear ;-)

Madri Gras 2011

Mamou 2011













Rainy conditions were a little disappointing (as this is probably my favorite picture-taking-day of the year). Yes, 10 hours riding on the back of a trailer with 2 kids- one of which was sick- IN THE RAIN, is less than ideal. But, as usual, it was a blast!

"Sitting"- copyright 2011 MA Durka

We were lucky enough to have the almost-entire Miller/Turocy gang join us for Valentine's Day! We missed Aunt Haley and Uncle Dave -who was "studying" for the Bar exam. Which, was well worth the extra quiet time, as he PASSED! Congratulations Uncle Dave!!



Despite a few absent loved ones, we thought this would be an ideal opportunity for a professional photo shoot! Since when Mia and Bucca visit they usually do most of the photo taking, we arranged for someone to take some pics of them with all the grand kids.



All photos are copyright 2011 MA Durka. Thanks Mark!













This was a little more challenging than anticipated with 4 kids spanning from 6mos to almost 4, but thanks to Mama Quinn's ingenuity, we had lots of fun and got some great shots!
