nana and her crew!

See the little lady in the red jacket on the right?!?  We call her Nana.  This is most of her crew...  another little boy was born right after this and two older boys could not be there for the photo.  She had 7 children and now many grandchildren...speaking for a child-in-law, I can tell you that we are treated just like those blood children!  She volunteers at the hospital, and at Ladies of Charity, travels to Haiti to do mission work, sings in the choir, and other "busy" things and still finds the time to make it to many basketball, volleyball, baseball, soccer games, track meets and dance recitals in every weekend (that's right many more than one each weekend!)  She thoughtfully picks out christmas gifts for each person and this picture was given to each family at this christmas...it was taken about a year ago for this past years calendar for the hospital about her being a open heart survivor and for all the volunteer work that she does...the picture that was chosen for the calendar actually had Nora in it with her.  Just thought I would do a post tribute to her because she is so special to me!  I am one of those lucky people that really does get along with my mother in law!
