Baby shower for Eric & Sarah!

In June I traveled to Ventura for the family baby shower to celebrate the impending arrival of the newest Holmstrom.
Elisabeth did a beautiful job of decorating, using the theme of  "Baby Appleseed" (the sweet endearment that they used to refer to the new little guy during the 9 months of waiting)

Tiny Dancer

After a year of ballet, tap and jazz class......Leila had her first dance recital.  The day before the big event,  we went to dress rehearsal.  The show was at the Pantages Theater in Tacoma.  Leila was a little apprehensive about all of it at first  but in the end she did fantastic.




"Ok....this is really kind of fun"
We are looking forward to next year....Go Tiny Dancer!!!!!

Thinking back to 33 years ago.....Wow!
