If you don't know us, what the heck are you doing here... Go back now or you'll be subjected to 10 hours of vacation home videos.  


Here's the happy family... two kids, two cars, two and a half baths, two car payments, a mortgage, a dryer that rattles, half a paper towel left on the roll, and leftovers...again.
 

Luke, pretty recent Our first year in the new casa! Rudy, pretty recent

You need a pretty big electric screwdriver to turn Luke's head!

I helped Rudy build the "Dragula"

(for those of you who remember Grandpa Munster's dragster)

for his Cub Scout pinewood derby. It came "dead" last!

 

 

 

 

No one can accuse Luke of having a screw loose.

His head gear is very tight!
If there was an award for either the slowest or coolest Pinewood Derby car, this one would have won!


 

Da Boyz 1998

 

St. Paul -- the big time!

Here are the little impresarios in front of the Minnesota State Capitol. The occasion was the celebration of Suzuki's 100th birthday and the boys played in commeration in the "Rotunda" where Governor Jesse Ventura would later reign!

 

 

 

Watch me make dad's money disappear!

Rudy is into this little boy bug thing. He loves 'em, I step on 'em.

I guess fathers and sons are just born to disagree.

Actually, he got this new magnifying glass and

I got the photography bug and tried making an artsy photo.
 

 

 


 

"It's not nice to call people names, " he says when I call him, "The Great Luke."

You can't win. When he wins at roulette and I call him Lucky Lukeciano,

he busts my chops, too. Anyway, here's Luke with his new passion: magic.

He's getting pretty good. Sigfried and Roy, watch out.

Oh, what big EYE you have ...

Wisconsin Dells.

In February, we stayed overnight in the Wisconsin Dells.

 

 

 

Isn't this thing supposed to move?

Luke was grovin' on the go-carts at the Dells.

 

I haven't has so much fun since I used to ride in the shopping cart with mom at the grocery store!Here's Rudy who we call,

"The High Roller-coaster"

tackling the "widow-maker."


 


 

The Holidays

 

Can we stop smiling now, my mouth hurts.
We spent Christmas '96 in Minnesota. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care--it was with care because the fireplace was busy burning all the scrap wood which used to be fine furniture before the movers damaged it in transit from Chicago.

 

 
 

Halloween is a special time for us. It's a time to reflect on all... wait, no, that's not Halloween I'm thinking of, that's Thanksgiving. Anyway, for Halloween '96, we built a graveyard in our front yard and everyone had their own sinister stone. Even Sydney, our bird.

Boo!

 

 

(BTW, Halloween 2006)
