In 1989, when Dianne Rinnier and her then baby daughter, Chalet Rinnier, took home the first prize in the Sea Isle City Baby Parade, who could have predicted that Chalet would grow up to be the proud mother of a little girl who would also one day win an award at the same baby parade?
Considering the vast field of beautiful children who enter the annual contest, it would be an amazing occurrence.
During the 2007 Baby Parade, while Chalet Rinnier-Creamer and her daughter, five-month-old Kira Melanie Creamer, were having their picture taken with Mayor Leonard Desiderio, Chalet was too excited to point out that she herself was also a Baby Parade winner in 1989.
In fact, little Kira had just won the same award that her mother received 18 years earlier. Nonetheless, Chalet was speechless.
Then, after the applause ended and the parade was over, it finally dawned on the young mother: “History has been repeated.”
“My granddaughter, Chalet, was so excited when Kira won first prize that she forgot that she was once the winner of the same parade,” said David DiGiuseppe, Sea Isle City.
“Now that it has all sunk in, we’re all very happy about Kira and her mom both winning. Someone said that it is like a legacy, and so we had to find the 1989 photos of Dianne and Chalet, which we decided to forward to Sea Isle’s Public Relations Department.”
Clearly 2007, like 1989, is turning out to be happy summer for the Rinnier-Creamer families.
