The gifted and talented Misiak-Kacsh children




The VonTrapps have nothing on us. Jeanna seems to be growing by leaps and bounds and the boys are letting out their creative spirits.

Jeanna meets her aunties Kelly & Cara




On Thursday evening, I visited Kelly & Tom at their home in Bexely. Cara was there and we ate a fabulous meal prepared by Kelly of Chicken, spinach and procciuto (spell) rolls, brussel sprouts and pasta. I had a great time. Thanks Kelly.
