Surprise!



This is what a mother looks like when she finds out her daughter is having twins! We were in Three Oaks, Michigan this weekend celebrating my sister-in-law's birthday. Little did her mom know she was also celebrating a set of twins! This picture was taken as the news hit my mother-in-law.

Here's to Rick and Dina, my fantastic in-laws, who were able to really make our Hawaii trip "special!"

Couldn't be happier for all parties involved!

Now I call that "shock and awe." Congratulations to Rick and Dina, and Diane, you are going to be one busy grandmother! What fun. Are there twins somewhere in the family?

How wonderful for all of you - when are the babies due?

Congrats! That's awesome. Conceived in Hawaii?

Thanks. Now Jack can look forward to driving around in the yard on the tractor with two little ones in the wagon.
Also, we will have a good reason to go and see "Toy Story" and "Spririt of the Cimorron".

We are ecstatic!

Great photojournalism. Although Jack looks like he might've stroked out just as the picture was taken. I've seen him look better.

:-)

Congrats to the Rizzi posse.

you photos never cease to amaze me! i can only imagine the photos you'll take of the tikes when they come.

the bundles are due may 31st, but i'm sure they'll be here sooner.

hawaii is what did it, despite the "eye trauma". no, we're not naming them hawaiian names...well, maybe puka dog, and nihi kai. maybe we can name one larry, after the doctor that saved ricks eye, and our vacation.
thank you all for your wishes!! prayers are good too!!!

I know....tee heee.

There is no better Rizzi-name than Rick Rizzi. I say you go the George Foreman route and name 'em both after the dad.

he won't do it. he does not want a junior. i thought it would be easier that way, since i don't like any boys names, but he no like.

I think one should be Louie (but pronouced "lihooey") - like the town in Hawaii.

and then Tattoo should be other, honoring our visit to the Fantasy Island falls.

LiHooey, and Tattoo Rizzi.

they come out yelling, "de plen! de plen!"

rick then greets them to the world with, "smiles, everyone! smiles! welcome to seefood island!

What if they are girls? How about Rita and Rhonda? Just as long as no one starts getting called "Dizzy Rizzi" or worse yet, "Busy Rizzi".

The whole name situation can be solved very easily. If they are boys name them Jack and if they are girls name them jacklene. Great Name-Brilliant idea!!! What more could any kid want. Thank Scott for noticing that I appeared to be stroking out. I just had to go to the bathroom rather badly. That impulse can have terrible effects on a man my age.

Hey casey, have a great trip. Your trip means that I don't have to look over my shoulder for the next ten days or so watching out for that sick guy who always has a camera in his hands.
