Doug and Zatha Say I Do | Personal

 

2012 is a good year for the Franks' family! Nick and I get married in August, Thad and Eliz's third child is due in November, and Aunt Zatha just married Dougy Doug! It was a great day! Friends and family gathered at Amy's house in Williamsburg where Doug and Zatha said their "I Do's". Zatha had asked if I would capture some pictures of the day, so of course I said yes! We're all excited for Zatha. This is a woman who has dealt with quite a few health blows in the past and recently, and since Doug has came into her life, she has been a new woman. One full of love and life and they have just been having the time of their lives! (The only downside, Doug has now converted her into a Yankees fan - BOO!)

Here are some pictures from their big day!

 

Emily's Bridal Shower | Personal

The other weekend we all gathered at Diann's home to shower Emily and baby Emma. Little Miss Emma will be the 5th kid in the Uhler family, but the FIRST girl! It's pretty exciting! Her shower was hosted by Diann and Nicolette, and was filled with fun, fellowships and of course, food, good food! I'm so excited for Emily and praying the rest of her pregnancy goes well and that Emma arrives safe and sound! 

Rebecca Carol Condon | Personal

The other day my cousin Kathy gave birth to the first little girl in our family in over eighteen years! Rebecca "Becca" Carol Condon was born on October 5th 2011 weighing 8 pounds exactly and was 20 inches long. 

It was a sad and joyous day for our family, mainly joyous! Becca would have been the light of my aunt Sue's life if she were still here with us. My aunt was a truly amazing woman and it's a shame her time with us was so short - but she made a lasting impression on us all! She showed her family love, kindness and so much more, and hopefully little Miss Rebecca who takes her late Grandmother's name (Carol) will be just like her! I think she already is the spitting image of her look wise, she was born during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and weighed and measured exactly was my Aunt Sue did with she was born sixty years ago. It's amazing the things God does that make you stop and remember those you loved and see that pieces of them are still with you!  

Grandmom Franks' 90th Birthday | Personal

Sunday we celebrated Grandmom Franks' 90th birthday party! Zatha and Ted set it up so the entire Franks family, near and far, as well as all of Grandmom's loved ones could be there to celebrate with her at the Riverwalk restaurant in Yorktown. The Franks' clan is beyond lucky to have such a wonderful woman in their lives, she truly loves her family and she was beyond excited to have everyone there to celebrate with her . . . and seeing them all in their derby hats!
