35 Beautiful Years

Happy Birthday John Eric!

Stupid Mask!

The thing I remember most is the smile on dad’s face when he was holding you for the first time. I hope that image will always be with me. Initially, dad was afraid he might hurt you when handling you but quickly learned you were much tougher than you looked.

You were so much fun. Always a risk taker. Quick to analyze and dissect things. Loved to work with tools and electronics. Read for hours. Loved to get physical on the lacrosse field.

Sorry we cannot be with you.

Eric Visitations

We were sad that Eric could not make it home for our usual Christmas Eve dinner so we improvised and fixed the problem (See Photo). BooBoo Kittie came too.

2012 Xmas Dinner Party

Gma Hoffmann and Uncle Buzzy LOVED visiting with Eric in California using Google Hangout. Uncle Buzzy loves the Internet. He believes in magic.

Fortunately for us, Eric and Eloise came East for New Year's Eve and to spend a few days with us.

We had a great time cooking, drinking wine, visiting the Pond House, eating at our favorite restaurants, drinking beer, and just hanging out at home! Thanks for the fun. Hope to see you soon.

Boys with their Patents!
