These are the first pictures I made of Peter. I like them for just that fact, and that he's the handsomest man in the world!
I love his profile!
My man! How I studied this picture when the miles separated us!
Street poet
Our first picture together. Past midnight on May 28,2000.
Some one told me this picture reminded them of The Sound of Music!
Newly in love. Peter has this picture in his wallet.
My Peter
I gave Peter this hat for Christmas. He was just going to shave his experimental goatee when I took these pictures. To me he looks kind of scary with facial hair!
Hahahahaha! Yikes!
Clean shaven. To me this one looks like the cover of Joshua Harris's book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye". Well, that's exactly what Peter did - he married me! :)
Peter took this picture the day before Jerome was born. I was so ready!
A little boy - walked into my life today - We had not met before - But I knew him anyway - And seeing him - loved him more. Knocking - knocking - at my door - He stood waiting in a muffled world - Slowly - eagerly - I open the door - And he came - and on my bosom curled. Before his first breath - He gazed into my eyes - And as he rested on my breast - Life - equalized. Sweet - sweet - was that first meeting - Precious - the first hours of knowing - Darling - the days of learning - Wonderful - the years of loving. Veronique Guy 3-6-03
"Whenever a woman is in travail she has sorrow, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she remembers the anguish no more, for joy that a child has been born into the world." John 16:21
Regina's always wanted to be an Aunt!
And I've always wanted to be a Mommy!
He's trying to shut out the world and rest for a minute. It was a rough night!
Two days old.
Vann took these pictures of Jerome when he was seven days old. They are some of my favorite pictures!
I love this picture of Jerome! He had just woken up, still had his pj's on, and was playing with Daddy in bed. We put the hat on him to see if it fit yet.
October 6,2002. Our first year anniversary. Peter took me out to The Secret Garden where he proposed marriage to me two years before, and we wore the clothes in which we went away from our wedding.
If you want a saint - give me hardships; If you want an angel - give me wings; If you want a poet - give me beauty; If you want a lover - give me love; If you want a friend - let me give. V.S.N. 8-23-01
This was the first time Jerome had met my grandmother!
Heads up!
Early mornings are the best! :)
This is one of my favorite pictures of Jerome as a baby.
This is one of the first pictures we caught of Jerome smiling. Not that it was an infrequent event, but he is always fascinated by the camera!
Jerome's cute back side!

I love my man! This picture actually reminds me of a picture my Mother has of her and Daddy posed like this.
This is the picture we're sending out in our very first family newsletter!
You have my father's name - But you are my son. Perhaps, I pray someday - You will have our Father's name - And be His son! Veronique Guy 2-18-03
Jerome's first Christmas and first snow!
But he wasn't sure he liked the cold at all! He is his father's son!

Peter took this picture of us the day we left Vann and Vanessa's house after Corynn was born. I didn't know he was going to take the picture just then...
Peter was showing Jerome the water at the wildwood falls.
A lady came up to us while Jerome and I were playing on the beach and told me that we looked like something out of a Jane Austen novel. Of course Jerome won her heart!
Noel took this picture of Jerome and me. We were at the beach for Peter's field trip in his marine biology class.

Jerome is almost crawling here. He was on the newly painted floor of our neighbor's garage, I thought it made a great background.
Mommy, I'm helping sweep the floor! Peter had Jerome grab onto the broom and was pulling him around. Jerome loved it!
One Saturday Peter took us up to Santa Barbara for the day. We had so much fun walking Main street, enjoying a park, sharing an icecream on the wharf, visiting Grandpa Charlie, and taking the train home!
Jerome loves riding in his stroller and watching the world go by.
Jerome likes ice cream! We were on the Santa Barbara Pier.
Like father, like son.
A tornado named Jerome!
Jerome loves his new-found freedom: crawling!
He thoroughly enjoys Grandma Guy's molasses cookies! They're great for teething.
Jerome's first experience in the sand box. He loved the feel of the sand, but only the sand toys went into the mouth!
My baby's beautiful head!
He's not too sure about the swinging thing yet, but I'm sure someday it will be,"Higher Mommy, higher!".
He loves socks!
At least he enjoys chewing on them!
Mema was taking my picture, she's just so funny!
I love shoes!
If you look closely you can see his first two teeth!
The sound effect he puts with that expression is hilarious! He has us all laughing most of the time!
He was fascinated by the koi in the pond at the Huntington Library.
Jerome loves to "walk" like big people!
Hiking at Sage Ranch.
He loves his Daddy!
He is such a joy!
Atherwood park. 9 1/2 months.
Peter and Jerome in Malibu.
Peter's girl
Peter let Jerome play on the pool cover, and he had fun making a puddle whever he went!
I love his expression here - so grown up!
Soooo cute!
Play time! He loves the sandbox!
Jerome loves water, but he's still getting used to the pool.
Peter likes this picture - he took it!
Snaggle tooth - cutie pie!
Jerome loves playing with the hose and getting all wet - even when he's fully clothed!
All boy!
We drove up to Santa Barbara for Anna's birthday and skated along the beach. This was the first time Peter and I had skated together, it was so much fun!
This was the day we met Vann, Vanessa, and Corynn at the airport and spent the afternoon together during their layover in LA!
Such a clown!
Go West Young Man!
Yummy orange!

Pssss! Do you know what we can do?....
Don't you even think about it, boy!
Okay folks, I'm outta here!
He makes me laugh just looking at his picture!
Vanessa took this picture of us together.
There are no words to express the love in my heart for this little boy!
Pool fun!
Mommy, it's scary!
Do you really like the pool Corynn?
Debbie and David Elie with us at Malibu beach.
After a three hour car ride Jerome got to crawl around in the sand to release some pent up energy. As you can see he was kind of sleepy and rubbed his eyes before we could clean his hands!
Look how big he's getting!
Grandma Nicolosi took this picture of Jerome while she was out visiting for a week in July.
He is so animated!
Barefoot boy

Kisses!

Jerome's first birthday! July 19,2003
It was so cute watching Jerome open his birthday gifts! He quickly understood that he was allowed to RIP the paper!
And of course he enjoyed his new toys!
Tracy drove up from San Diego to spend Jerome's birthday with him!
Wonderful memories and great thankfulness were much in my thoughts on his birthday.
Laura was with us at Jerome's birth a year ago!
Jerome loves to put pots and buckets on his head!
Tracy Howard let me borrow her macro lens while she was here and as you can see, I've had fun with it, but I have much to learn!
Jerome's cute little ear.
