Countdown to Baby Holtz

In the immortal words of Ted Knight in Caddyshack ... "Well, we're WAITING............" Here's the squares -- click to enlarge. You'll note the optimism of the parents to be!

Thanks For Playing!

Mustafa would like to announce that Adam is the winner. At least he came the closest. Mustafa was indeed in Canada and now that the winner of the hockey series has been decided, he is free to tell you that he was there on official Sabres business.

His mission was a covert operation to gather information that Lindy might have been able to use. Alas, it was to no avail and now Mustafa is on to his next assignment.

The prize is a bag of peanuts and an autograghed photo of Mustafa himself. It should be arriving in Quincy any day.

Hint: This picture shows Mustafa training for his next mission----

Say Cheese!!

What do you think Mustafa is up to now??? The person who guesses correctly wins a prize-a MAJOR prize. Deadline for guesses is Saturday May 19th. Hurry and get you guess(es) in. Don't be left out!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTEN DYAN !!!!

To the best daughter ever. Have a wonderful day.

Love You,

Mom & Dad

A Yankee in Waiting

Not since the rookie season of Tony Lazzeri in 1926 or the arrival of Joe DiMaggio in 1936 or "The Mick" Mickey Mantle in 1951 or even on the same scale, the first pick selection of high school pitching phenom Brien Taylor in 1991, have Yankee fans been so excited about the development of a future star.



Yankee manager Joe Torre was asked about young Zachary's development and had this to say, "Can he pitch?" Needless to say we laughed, we all laughed.



That's a nice looking uniform.













Zachary understands that before he can join the big club he may have to choose a new number, because Derek Jeter's #2 will be retired.





















Here, Zachary shows his skills off sliding into a second base pillow after smashing a line drive double off the wall.



















He then steals third, only to be thwarted by the opposing third baseman.
He was running so fast his hat came off.














Go Yankees!!!

So far Zach has been on the Pirates and the Yankees, his two favorite teams. And to think... I played for Wurlitzer Park Village Club, Lions Club, and then finally Exchange Club in Little League and we never could keep our uniforms. What a bummer.

Holtz & Son Painting Co. Resurrected!

It was a bright and sunny morning in Quincy when the boys sent Amy off to work.

They could barely wait for her to leave as they had big plans for the new baby's soon to be nursery.

Lucy helped

Many hours later, Amy arrived home and was surprised and happy at what awaited!
