Hi! I just got back from a trip to the midwest to see my Grandpa and Grandma Dziengel, visit my uncles and aunts in Kewanee, pay my dearest respects to my late Great Grandmother Virginia, and attend a wedding. What a trip! I really enjoyed tree hugging in my grandparents backyard and I also got to take the train for the first time. I met so many new people, too, my Dad's friends Tyler, Bob, Brad and Pete and Pete's family.
That's all for now!

Hello Everyone! I just had my 1st Birthday and wow was it fun! My Grandpa and Grandpa Dziengel came out from Illinois to visit me for two weeks.

I went to the beach with my parents and Grandpa and Grandpa Dziengel and had a great time. The water was freezing and the sand tasty.....oops was I not supposed to eat the sand? Then we had a birthday party at Lito and Lita's in Santa Barbara and I got to see my Uncle Tony, my cousins Gavin and Madeline, Aunt Katie and Uncle John, Great Grandpa Dick and our family friend Lee. What a time!

All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth

2008-01-13T17:50:00.002-08:00

Hey Everyone!
I just wanted to update you on my very first Christmas! I got the best present of all, a TOOTH! Yup, it arrived the day after Christmas and caused some great pain for everyone involved. I had a wonderful Xmas day, I spent it with my Mom and Dad, Lito and Lita Franco, my uncle Tony, and my Great Grandma Rafi. I really enjoyed crawling all over the boxes, the stuff inside wasn't as interesting......

I also got to visit with Sara and Abe over the holidays as well as my cousins Madeline and Gavin and my Great Grandpa Dick.

I think I love this holiday! To see more pics click here!

Hi All,
I just got back from a trip to see my family in Santa Barbara. We stayed with Lito and Lita Franco and had a great visit with my cousins Madeline and Gavin. Gavin and I enjoyed jumping together!
I also discovered a fabulous design magazine that I poured over for at least a half hour.....
Love,
Alonzo

Straight from Alonzo to you!

Hey Everyone,
Here's my latest and greatest! I love to hang on my tummy, I got my own cell phone, which is great to chew on, I'm starting to sit all by myself, I love to relax in jeans, and I'm just starting to find peace with the car seat. I love you all!

Alonzo's First Trip to Kewanee

2007-08-26T11:25:00.001-07:00

We just returned from Alonzo's first trip to Kewanee ! The big event was of course his Baptism. He was baptized at St. John Roman Catholic Congregation of Galva, Il. by Father John Burns. The Godparents are Christel MacDonald and Anthony Franco.

Alonzo also got to meet all his cousins, aunts, uncles, and great grandma Dziengel for the first time. We had a great time and Alonzo charmed everyone. His cousin Brianna spent the week with us and helped out so much, she's a diaper changing expert! We also had a chance to visit our friends Joe and Liz and their beautiful son, Joseph in Chicago.

Getting there was half the adventure. On the way to the airport we got a late start, won't say who caused that, then a guy picked a fight with JR at security, after rushing to the gate we made it just in time to board early....The return flight was low-key, probably why Alonzo got more antsy!

The Beginning

2007-08-25T08:45:00.001-07:00

Here's where it all began, if you don't count pregnancy....ha ha. After 6 1/2 hours of labor Alonzo Lawrence Dziengel was born on April 1, 2007. He weighed 6 pounds 15 oz. and was 18 inches long. Labor happened so quickly we barely made it to the hospital. When we got there the only thing on my mind was the epidural but when the nurses checked I was fully dilated and told me "Sorry Honey, by the time the epidural takes effect this baby will already be born." So we did the whole thing au natural, not by choice, but in the end it wasn't so bad (or did those childbirth hormones cloud my memory...?).

The prize on the other end of childbirth makes you immediately forget everything else! And what a prize we got!

First Swim

2007-08-25T08:22:00.000-07:00

This was taken after our first swim! We didn't really enjoy it, much crying, but I know in a few years he'll be begging us to go in the pool. I bought Alonzo a life vest which is the smallest on the market but way too big for him, he gets swallowed up in orange foam!
