These are the pictures I carried in my wallet for years. It is a timeline of Anna Marie growing up. They are pictures ranging from age 3 months to August of 2007 at which time she had a family of her own.
The dress she is wearing in the photo is a dress my mother started to make for me. I ran across it when Anna Marie was 5 years old. Kathie Goyeneche finished it in time so she could wear it for her kindergarten class picture.
Anna Marie is a wonderful, loving, giving daughter and I am very proud of her. She has given meaning to my life.
This video was taken when Anna Marie was less than a year old with her cousin, Noeline Etchamendy. It was taken at the Mocho Plaa Dairy house and holds special memories for me. Noeline is the youngest of three born to Perico and Yvonne Etchamendy. Yvonne was Arnaud's first cousin.
Anna Marie married Mickey Coleman on April 27, 2001. It was a very small wedding and I can't think of one thing I would change.
This video was made on their 15th anniversary at a small dinner they held at Le Petit Laurent. The guests were asked of their recollection of the wedding and the photos brought it back to life.
