Dominic is the Play-Ball Kid

This was the microphone test and photo op for Dominic to say, "Play Ball" to begin the Padre game against the Brewers on April 29. With Dominic's help, our Swinging Friars blanked the Brewers 9-0! Not bad for a four-year-old. Not bad for anyone!

It's SHOWTIME!


PLAY BALL!

Padres! Opening Day 2010

Dominic is an old-hand at Padre games, since he has been a season-ticket holder since he was in-utero. This was Cody's first game!


Dominic loves "The Star Spangled Banner." In fact, when a rolly-polly dies, he always asks me to sing it with him.

Dominic loves to say grace at meals, especially since we sit at his new dining room table.

Royal Carribean

We spent many evenings in Ellington's, usually with live music.




Dinner was always delicious.


Here we are with our Matre'd.
Mariner of the Seas

We had an incredible cruise on Mariner of the Seas. Our week-long cruise took us to the Mexican Riviera with stops in Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerta Vallarta. It's a definite DO-AGAIN!

Queen Doris

Even in Hawaii they knew that she was a queen. She was the only person that they gave a floral crown to at our Luau.

Mother's story is one of strength, compassion, determination, kindness, and grit. Many who had such a difficult childhood would never have achieved as much, nor created such a close-nit extended family who love her AND her giggle & snort.
