Dear Reader,
If you have made it this far, I would like to thank you for sticking with this web page. Now is the really fun part. I get to tell you about my wonderful daughter. As mentioned earlier, Alexandrea Nicole was born on December 26, 1994. From the very first, Alex has enjoyed surprising Lara and me.
When we arrived at the hospital for the delivery, Lara was ready for a long drawn out labor. Forty five minutes later, I was holding Alex.
Alex has been on the go ever since. Some of Alexandrea's favorite things to do are:
RIDING HER BIKE ---This keeps me running after her.
SWINGING ON EVERY SWING SET SHE CAN FIND.
PLAYING AT EVERY RESTARAUNT PLAYLAND IN TOWN
INTRODUCING HERSELF TO EVERY CHILD SHE SEES
PLAYING CATCH WITH HER DADDY--She is a really good left hander.
FLYING KITS-- She gets so excited when it takes off. She loves to see things flying.
COLORING, PAINTING, MAKING A MESS, HELPING DAD MOW THE LAWN (her grandpa venable got her started on that.)
This has been a very fun summer for Alexandrea. It started with a ROAD TRIP.
We left St. Louis and wet to Sea World in OHIO.
Alexandrea loved everything about it. I guess I will need to post photographs of her Feeding the dolphins. She loved it and she did not even mind having to play with the dead little fish.
When we left there, we drove to Seseme Place outside of Philly. That's right, Alexandrea was able to walk down Seseme Street and meet all of her favorite Television Stars. It was a wonderful time.
We also went into Philly and she was able to take a horse and buggy ride around historical Philly with her mom and me.
After the long road trip, we rested and signed Alexandrea up for swimming lessons.
After Lara and I had some time to rest, we took Alexandrea away for the weekend to a very large lake.
We rented a pontoon boat. Alex liked it.
We rented a jet ski. Alex loved it.
We rented a ski boat. Alex went nuts for it. She kept saying Faster, Faster. MORE MORE. I am afraid my baby Feels a need......For Speed!!!!!
