over the river and through the woods

"what fun i get to have at grandma and grandpa holz's house! look at me on the john deer tractor!"












"while visiting last weekend, i also got to see horses, pigs and cows."

happy birthday dear dominic

"this is what cake is like? what's the big deal?"













"presents? who cares! these little chairs are so cool!"












"linda, thanks for the cool shirt... but i sure do like these little chairs!"












walking off the cake with grandpa

















thank you to everyone for making dominic's first birthday party a success! we are grateful to everyone who braved the stormy weather to make this day special. we also appreciate all of the lovely gifts you gave dominic - he is one lucky little boy to have such wonderful family and friends!

for all of the help, a special thank you to: sandy & dave, bill & debbie, joe & dorothy, lori, jay & annamarie

root! root! root! for the home team!

tom's birthday wish was to take his boy to his very first ball game. we had a great time. dominic is such a flirt! he was walking up & down the aisles, stopping to smile at every pretty girl.














yep... mom tagged along to the game too













a big grin for dad outside the stadium... you couldn't ask for a better "thanks"

oops!

we decided to get dominic's hair cut... even though he didn't have much. what he did have was long, so it needed trimming.

well, as you will see, i made the mistake of asking the butcher, i mean the barber, to give dominic a buzz cut.

see for yourself:



before...












after.



i'm sorry dominic. it will grow back.
