As most of you know I have been very ill since last week. And I am still not 100% better. In fact, I have to take another round of antibiotics. [#ihatebeingsick] Apparently, I have some kind of mutant bronchitis that just wont go away. However, I managed to drag myself out of bed on Saturday to attend a family gathering. And it was awesome.
Now, what’s a girl to do when she has been named the ‘Family Historian’ and therefore she takes hundreds of photos [paparazzi style] at the DeSordi Family Picnic and she wants to share them with her family and friends, but she doesn’t want it to be boring?
The Solution?
SHE MAKES A MOVIE!
Enjoy.
For someone who is sick as a dog, you do a pretty darn good job for paparazzi.
You are welcome to come record ourfamily reunion/outings any time.
Looks like everyone had a blast and for a Pepper, you don't look too much under the weather.
Hope you are feeling a bit better.
Aw. Shucks! Thanks Agg.
We can thank the features in my iPhoto for helping me airbrush the sickness
off of my face!
Also, I will have a new post up later this week.
It's about my father and it's hilarious. So you can look forward to that!
🙂
feels like i was there the whole time!!! great family, great times!!!!!
I was SO happy when you made it to the party.
You're an official family member!
xoxo
So glad to see you are felling better. Bed ridden is not a favorite past time for anyone. I throughly enjoyed the family historians movie. Next up, Hollywood, or maybe even Bollywood :-).
Thank you! I'm still sick, but at least I am MOBILE again!
Applaus…applause…applause!!!!!
This video ROCKED!!!! And can I just tell ya how much I loved the song?
Honestly, one of these days I have to meet your family because they look like the nicest, happiest and coolest family ever! And OMG…can you just TELL they're ITALIAN or what? I could feel the “Italianness” emanating from the pictures. Loved the photo of the guy “copping a feel” of the woman's boobies – HA!
Hope you're feeling better, my wonderful Libra friend!
Thanks for sharing this video. I LOVED it!!!!

YAY! I am so happy you enjoyed this, Ron.
That was my Uncle Victor grabbing my Aunt Lynda.
They rock! They were also the 'hosts' of the BBQ.
And, you are ALWAYS invited to hang out with my family.
The more the merrier!
🙂
PS: Sadly, I am still sick. I am better than I was last week, but I'm still
not 100%. I have to take another round of antibiotics for another 5 days.
Hopefully I will be completely over this soon!
It looks like everyone had a great time! And the photos were fabulous. I hope you are feeling better soon!
Thanks Anne.
Nothing like a good pool party barbecue to bid farewell to summer.
Indeed!
Sorry to hear you're still sick, but glad you could make it to the picnic. I can't see the video because I'm at work and it's blocked (the assholes actually expect me to work rather than surf the internet for 8 hours, the nerve of them!) I'll check it out when I get home. I hope you feel better soon.
NICE! I think you missed your calling as a movie director. LOL!!!
i hope you feel better!! I've had tonsilitis before but that's it. The same pain but no coughing. Good luck!!
Thanks Marty, you rule.
🙂
the coughing is slowly killing me
I just love that you used 'When You're Smilin'' by Louis Prima. He is one of my all time faves. I love you and your family. I am so glad you have them in your life. Hope you feel much better soon XX
In order of priority:
1) I am so glad you are feeling better. Life is not the same without my regular dose of Meleah!
2) That video is AWESOME!!! Love the music, love the family, love the vibe, love the boobie-grabbing!
3) Cousin Bucky is BUCK!! (I freely admit it, I peeked in your Flickr to find out who that was). Yummy 🙂
Thank you Selma!
Xoxoxo
And welcome back woman!
My cousin Bucky is like my own personal CK underwear Model!
[we are NOT blood related so that isn't as creepy as it sounds]
He is MY FAVORITE cousin in the whole wide world.
Him and I are two peas in a pod!
And Im slowly getting better Nicky!
xoxoxo
1) Please feel better
2) I want your family to adopt me.
Welcome to the family!
You've been officially adopted.
🙂
I've missed you too! Watched the video and felt at home with your mob. Loved the music too. “When You're Smiling”. Was that Ray Ellington singing?
But most of all, get well soon so you can have a drink!
That looks like so much fun! I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks Bee!
🙂
Hi you! No it's not Ray Ellington.
It's Louis Prima!
🙂
if you want me to come over so i can rub Vicks on your chest, let me know.
I'm a giver like that…
Yes please.
Its what I love about you……
coming to a theater near you….:)
It's events like this, and capturing them on photos and video, that make for a brilliant family history! Well done!
ahahahaha
🙂
Thanks Babs!
I treasure these moments in my life.
xoxox
Looks like it was such a fun time!!! You did a great job with the pics and video!!
Thank you Jules!
Awww! That looks like SO much fun! Clearly, you had a great day for a family picnic and no one was in a hurry to go home! Great pics!
Hope you're feeling 100% again soon!
Thank you Terri!
xoxo
Your family looks like a lot more fun than mine.
But I think two of your relatives might need to get a room! And for more than one night!
You didn't look sick, by the way, so that's good, because if you look good, you feel marvelous.
I love your candid photos — especially the woman with the reddish-orange shirt doing the shoo-away-the-paparazzi hand move (at 24 seconds) and the guy after her (at 26 seconds) with the cigarette and the black shirt. He looks like he could tell a story for hours. Without interruption.
Oh! What a treat! Just realized that woman at 24 seconds is in the background on the left in the picture of the cigarette-totin'-storytellin' guy.
Excellent job on matching the photos to the beat of the song.
Looks like fun! I'll be right over. 😉 …Hope your 100% very soon.
Thanks Mike.
My family is pretty fun!
An I only look healthy thanks to the magic of airbrushing!
Aw. Thanks. I have a really fun family, and oh yes, they sure can tell some
wild stories! My aunt Renee [shooing away the paparazzi] HATES when I
photograph her, cuz she's knows it will be on the internet!
You're always welcome to attend one of my Family Functions!
What a good looking family! I like the one of the guy grabbing his (I'm assuming) wife's boobs:)
When do me n Cuppie get the family initiations ??? 😉
I hope you turn the corner soon but glad you could still put together your cool video for your family, memories are wonderful to have and treasure!!!
Thank you!
And yes, that's my Uncle Victor groping my Aunt Lynda!
