FFF For Crying Out Loud!

This week's Favorite Foto Friday is crying photos, well I don't usually save those but have a few where Isabella had just cried, or was going to cry.
Here is a photo at Isabella's school, and we were so trying to get a nice photo, but she was crying, had been crying, not my favorite photos


Here, Isabella was hysterical, because she was just dumped in the water in a Conversion Ceremony, MY POOR BABY! it was also cold and rainy, We were at Palm Beach past march 08


Isabella one day old

We went to the doctors in Guatemala City, and there was lots of waiting, and strange things doctors do to babys

Letting out a wail, again in Antigua, when grandma came to visit we were hanging out on grandma's bed

FFF BLOWING KISSES

Hi everybody,
seems like I am short of pictures for blowing kisses, it is usually me with the camera, so I am lacking pictures of Isabella and me kissing, usually it is too spontaneous.
I managed to come up with a few kissing pictures, to stay a little with the theme of blowing kisses.
Isabella after her conversion, i was giving her a comforting kiss, then her uncle Fernando











Kisses with

and

swimming Kisses

BARACK OBAMA WINS

I saw this on our Gafi Forum, and it really summed up an era, that we had lived through

An opinion fron the N.Y.Times

And it was. An era of unbridled deregulation, wealth-enhancing perks for the already well-off, and miserly indifference to the poor and middle class; of the recasting of greed as goodness, the equation of bellicose provincialism with patriotism, the reframing of bigotry as small-town decency.

FFF Favorite Family Foto

I have a small family and we live far away and visit very little.
but there are a few
i have a bunch of pictures that were not digital and i just recently had them scanned
Here is a picture of my father Burt, who has passed on, with my brother in law Bill, my sister Debbie, and my niece Nina.
Nina is twice the age now, but these are really my photos for the week that are special to me.
