2-day-old Dan and his mom (LeNae/Nonna)

Crawling baby Dan 
People say, "Your girls look just like you!" Until they meet Dan and then they say, "Oh, nevermind, they look just like him." This picture proves that they are right.

Love the metal high chair!
Dan has always loved soccer!

Dan is 8 and just got baptized!
9th birthday!This is when I realized how few pictures I have of Dan growing up. He is the 4th of 6 kids, it happens.
