MORE FAMILY

Just when we thought it was safe to put away the baby clothes and toys, Bunny added another baby to the clan. Bryan Val Lopshire was born on August 3, 1997. And, Nonny & Pa were once again doing what they do best, spoiling the grandkids.
On October 11, 2000, the first great-grandchild joined the Tortorello family. Grandson John who was now legally a Tortorello, and his wife Carol, were blessed with Marcus Adam Tortorello. Marcus is the first grandchild of Betty.
Bunny decided that Bryan needed a baby sister so on January 31, 2001, Emily (guess who she is named after) Kay Lopshire became the 7th grandchild.. These 3 little ones have a good ol' time when the families get together. As Johnny recently commented to Bunny "who would have thought that our kids would be running around together?"

And, another happy note, a second great-grandchild recently became the latest Tort. Angela's firstborn and Joey's first grandchild, Gabriel Shem Tortorello, joined the ranks on January 3, 2003. And it won't be long before little Gabriel is running around with the other little ones.

Misty Ann, a little shit-tzu, is the first grand-dog. Nonny & Pa treated Misty to her very first ice-cream cone and ever since then, she has been in love with them.

Tort Gang April 2002

Last April, all the grandkids got together for a family picture as an anniversary gift for Nonny & Pa. We had quite a time, as you can tell by the picture.
