What a joyous moment in 2003 to be blessed with this little
beauty ... Tatiana Isabelle. She is wearing my Grandmother Maggie Carty Neu's baptismal gown that she hand created ... this gown has
been worn by my Mother & her siblings, my children & now my
wee kid-lings. It has 3 gowns beneath the original over gown. One is a half gown for changing the baby on, the next is a flannel type
gown for warmth, & then there is the petti-gown. The intricate
handsewn stitching is awesome. It has been retired after Tatiana's baptism because of the delicate fabric state.

***(Thank you, Mini and Everyone!
Love, Tatiana
P.S. Your post, it's pictures, and everyone's comments were wonderful. She really enjoyed it. Emery (her dad)***
Tatiana was having a grand time at her first birthday
party. Look at those delicious chocolate brown eyes.
Do they get any cuter ...
In 2007 Tatiana became a ballerina & tap dancer ...
she is as elegant as a swan gliding across the floor ...
don't we all wish we had those long slim legs? You should see her tom-girl self outside of dancing ... she loves her sports.
and, today Tatiana is 7 ... art is her passion & she is really quite good.HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sweet precious angel girl. Poppy & Mimi/Mini (she's decided I am Mini now) love you with all our hearts. You are our pride & joy.
We hope that every day of your life is full, rich, warm & wonderful ... full of surprises & joys ... may God bless & keep you close as you continue in life.
Forever our love, Mimi/Mini & Poppy
