Visiting Vincent

Vince outside his dorm room. He rooms alone, and he had already sent a lot of stuff home, so it looks bare in there !!

Here is his 3rd job, working as desk monitor. The other 2 jobs are Cafeteria and music scholarship (trombone).

"HIS" corner. He owns this area. And loves it ! He's got the process down to a science. Yeah, I know its not that hard...but to do this work and LOVE it takes a hard-working dedicated awesome guy. Great work man !!!

Oh the eyes for the girls, and the girls give the eyes right back. Sitting next to Vince here is his current girl Julie. Beautiful, sweet Julie. Nice to finally meet her, after all the talking he did about her on his last homeleave.

And the boy needs food. Snacks, drinks, general munchies. He's so happy when his Tupperware is full !!!

Another Ski Day

Vince was able to join us for this ski day. I took this shot from the lift. Todd's taking his shot from the hill, and Vince is catching big air !! Pine Mountain Ski Resort in Iron Mountain, Michigan is tons of fun, and only 5 bucks !!

Before and After

Dominic before...............................

And after his haircut from Daddy. So cute in both pictures, but there is just something special for a boy to get a haircut from his Daddy and then when Daddy "styles" his hair, too !! Look at that gel job !! Perfect. :-)

GLAA Orchestra

Vincent has played in the orchestra at GLAA for more than a year and we have never heard him play...until now !! His school's orchestra came to our church with the hand bell choir and performed a Sabbath vesper's for us and it was beautiful !! We were very impressed and blessed. The trombone Vince plays was played by his Dad (Todd) and by HIS Dad (Joseph) so it is very special to all of us. What a great concert and a great weekend. Doesn't he look handsome in his Tuxedo ??

Target Practice

Dominic LOVES to shoot his B B gun. Grampa always sets up targets for him at their 40. He is supposed to have his safety glasses on, but he forgot them at home and wore my sunglasses for a while. Here I think he was just 'posing' for me :-)

Almost Two Whole Hands

Dominic turned 9 on July 22nd. We had Gramma and Grampa and favorite cousin Will over for cake and ice cream and presents. Legos were at the top of the list !! Cake was store bought, I'm working now, so it is just easier to go that route :-) Isn't he too cute ????
