Going Back

We definitely feel Hilliard is our home, but even so, we sometimes go back to where Mommy and Daddy spent a chunk of their life. Anytime we go back, we're sure to try and tag on haircuts from our favorite female barber. Here Vanessa is beginning to feel the connection:


And then of course, we HAVE to stop and see our cousins. Ben is showing Uncle Adam his really cool phone. Hannah and Zach are teaching Vanessa games. Andrew was there, but Mommy forgot to take a picture because she was too busy chasing Vanessa. (Maybe Uncle Thom and Aunt Diane have a picture filed away of him from this day . . . ? [hint])

Here the adults and girls are getting their practice for future dances and balls. The princess court is quite sweet and adorable and they demonstrated an amazing amount of patience while having their pictures taken.


A trip is never complete, though, without Lorobi's. Daddy begins drooling over the thought several days in advance of the visit. It always hits the spot and we can never have too much. Vanessa is developing a love for it as well. (For those who don't know -- Betz blood consists somewhat of Coca Cola, Lorobi's Pizza and Buckeye football. We still have a few years before Vanessa needs to develop her fondness for Coke. Yes, it'll be a milestone.)
