Bethany Madison Davidowitz

Thanks for visiting!
 
In honor of our new arrival Tyler Deuce Davidowitz, the Bethany Album Site has been upgraded to a Davidowitz Family Site.  Go to the new site @ http://davidowitz.smugmug.com to see all of our new pictures.  The contents of this site will eventually be reproduced at the above address and updates to this site discontinued.  This may take some time tho, so in the meantime, please forgive the construction and occasional broken links.  The new site will host UNLIMITED photos and will allow you to order reprints so you too can own pictures of our beautiful kids.
 
By the way, before we created the new family site, we added a page to this site documenting Tyler's birth and the story of his name - goto https://buckybradley.tripod.com/tyler/ to see his birth announcement picture and read all about it.
