It was the summer of '79

....when a baby boy arrived at the Vitz household in New York City. He was compassionate, warmhearted and deeply loved. After years of thriving abundantly under the diligent contemplation of his Mom and Dad, he ventured out into the world and wound his way to the nations capital, where his gaze settled upon a fair maiden named Ann. Now the two are happily nestled in the city of hope, known to the locals as Bethesda awaiting the birth of their baby boy! Happy Birthday, Peter!

It happened one Easter at Nana and Grandfather's

A time it was when you were just a little girl on an Easter Sunday at Kayson Street. You wore a white dress with blue flowers.

Now you're all grown up. You've worn a different white dress and carried a bouquet with blue flowers that Peter gave you.

Soon you will have a little baby boy of your own.

We are so proud of what you have done with that little girl dressed in blue flowers. We love you Ann, Happy 23rd Birthday!

Happy Days at the lake are coming again!

When there were only four!

Don't forget to save the dates and bring your goggles and sunscreen. We are hoping those of you who have conflicts can make something work!
