Papaw and Bells

My father passed away Monday night. He loved this little one with all of his heart. They will always have a special bond. Rest in peace, Daddy. Tommy Joe Fontana July 27, 1950 - November 30, 2009.

This was taken when Bella was three days old. Even then, you couldn't kick him away from her!
They were lying in his hospital bed a few months before he passed.

Two peas in a pod.

She had just noticed his hair had started to grow back.

Bella's Latest Pageant

Miss Priss took first runner up in her last pageant! We are so proud of Baby Girl!!! She did great. I think she liked to throw the candy in the parade better than she did performing her little tricks on stage!!!

Here she is telling Pawpaw to look at her "coe-fee".
Baby Girl posing with her coe-fee.

Bells doing her thang on stage.

So beautiful.

Me and my girl.

You Should've Seen It In Color

I have not been able to post in a few months due to the fact that my father is very, very ill. Many prayers have been said and yet many more are needed. I did, however, take a few pictures of Bells in the tub last night. She is the center of my world. I love you, Baby Girl!!!!!
