Becky is a natural teacher and she nurtures without effort. I love watching her spend time with our nieces and nephews—she’s helped them grow with a confidence and curiosity that will last for a lifetime. She is thrilled to extend her love and affection to a son or daughter!

Rudy hard at work
As an architect, Rudy works on some of the most well-known buildings in New York City, and on some killer sand castles! His Halloween costumes typically showcase his wacky sense of humor as well as his craft skills. I know he is going to make a great Dad.
