Athina's 10th birthday party!

My daughter Athina turned ten this past Thursday, and we had her birthday party today at Adirondack Stables in West Chazy, NY. She had lots of friends and family there. All of the girls who came to her party got to groom and ride a horse. They also played games and had pizza and cake. I am attaching some pictures from the party.

Remembering Costa

Recently one of my favorite people in the world past away. Bella's uncle Costa. When I first began dating my wife Bella, her mom had some natural concerns regarding cultural differnces. Costa and his companion of many years Eileen were insturmental in encouraging Bella's mom to give me a shot. Costa displayed a lot of faith in me when he barely new me, and I always respected him for that. Several friends and family members recently gathered at a restaurant in Montreal to celebrate Costa's life. I am attaching a photo of everyone there. I will truly miss him at our family gatherings. I along with the many, many others who loved him will remember him always.
