2007 UPDATE!

Well Chris is still in the kitchen flippin' but now it is Chris Sr!  Now retired from driving & his Athletic Director position, the Big Kahuna is now the chief cook and bottle washer at Bella Vida! (When he isn't trying to sneak in a ski trip to VT or Surfin' Safari to Costa Rica!)   

Christopher Jr. graduated from PBAU in 2003 and happily retired his Bella Vida manager position to his dad last fall .  He is now a weekend warrior and he and our dinner Chef Alan, man the ship when his dad does manage to successfully sneak out of town! During the week he can be found actually sitting behind a desk!  He works for our son in law, Jim, who is a banker and opened Oak Mortgages in Cape May Court House! God couldn't have picked a more perfect partner for Christina.  Nor a better son in law for us!

YES, our oldest daughter, Christina, did get married to the afore mentioned Jim and they now have the most beautiful baby boy ever!  ( Well I can't really say that cuz Kayden and he have equal pull on my heart stings!)  James Patrick Walls III.  We call him Trae (for the third!)  He was born 7-7-07!  She is a stay at home mom and is loving every second of it!

Kayden is my most precious, steady & enjoyable companion these days and is the son of our youngest daughter, Melissa.  WOW being a "Nonna" (Italian for grandmother) is great!  And yes that is why I am missing in action most days at BV!

Melissa is steadily moving up the ladder in the Marriott Corporation and works hard being a mom!  She can still be seen bustling around the dining room on occasion and is always willing to help whenever she can!

Alan has been with us in varying capacities since 2003.  He could probably be credited somewhat with teaching Christopher the ropes!  While he worked at Uncle Bills since he was 14 he has progressed into the dinner arena with ease and incredible creativity!  He is the BEST!
