Pictures from the 2005 Cruise

[WayneNYC]

Greetings to all of you from the Steinman-Iacullo's: Wayne, Sal and Hope.

I'm thrilled to joined the R Family Forums. We had the honor to be invited on both cruises. Our experiences were phenomenal. It made us R Family groupies. You guys rock! :D

I wanted to share our photos from the 2005 cruise (be forewarned, there are a lot). You can access them through the following link: http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=gt6w37.b01j4c2j&x=0&y=-9vv28e

We are so grateful to Kelli and Gregg and Rosie for creating such an awesome extended family.

Hello Wayne and Sal and Hope,
Heidi and I are wondering how you are coping with Hope away at school. We are guessing it's harder for you than for her! We are returning on next year's cruise with Emily, and possibly with Ariel if her schedule allows it.
Hope all is well,
Meg

Hey Meg!

You are right that Hope is coping being away from home far better than her dads. While some of the peace and quiet we are experiencing in the "empty nest" can be enjoyable, our main concer we don't know what she's doing most of the time. She joined many campus groups and clubs, and she also has a very active social life. She even makes time to do school work. ;) But we miss the contact.

Happily, she's been home a few times this semester, and she just returned to school after 5 days of Thanksgiving break. The semester ends just before Christmas, and she'll be home for a full month. So, all in all, it's been a pretty good transition for the dads.

Our best to the family!
Wayne

Thanks for sharing all those photos! We 'met' while walking up the hill path to the Citadel while in Halifax. We also enjoyed hearing your daughter Hope at the teen panel.

....off to figure out how to post my own BUNCH of pictures!

Hey Sal and Wayne,

Your pictures were great! I am so excited for you guys and Hope, I can't believe where the time has gone. But I guess neither can you. Sal, remember the good old Lamm Days! It is been great to see you aboard the ship, even though Drew was a speedy blur of activity. I can't seen to get a calm talking child, but you never know, we still have Matti who has yet to grow up.

Anyway just wanted to say hi.

Have a beautiful holiday.

Hey Wayne and Sal!

Your pictures are great! It was kind of interesting to see cruise pictures from someone else's perspective. I just know that I have been looking at my same old pictures over and over and over because I love them so much!

My partner and I actually met Hope on a tender boat during the first cruise. She was so nice!

I also watched the show on LOGO the other night about Raising Teens. You were all so wonderful! You are also wonderful in the HBO movie.

Hello Wayne, Sal, and Hope

Thank you so much for sharing your photos with us. It brought so many wonderful memories of the summer.

I saw a little clip of you all in a preview on LOGO. I was so excited to see familiar faces on TV. I am sorry that I missed it but I am sure that they will rerun it again.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am also thankful that we have positive role models like you all to look up too...Thank you.

James and Clay;)
