HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC

He loved playing with his puppys
Eric's senior picture 2002

Eric and Emily twin cousins. They have the exact same birthday. She is 9 hours older than Eric


This is a Erics kindergarden picture. He loved school...can you tell?



Eric and his Dad enjoyed many fishing trips, this was not one of those LOL


Eric is my pride and joy. The best kid in the world. We have been through so much together. We are not only Mom and son we are best of friends. When people say you can't be a friend to your child I think they miss out on so much.


Eric graduated from chef school and is now a chef at a French Restaurant inAustin called Fion.
This is a picture of him and his grandparents, my Mom and Dad. They were so proud of him.








When he comes home he will cook for me, but likes for me to cook for him too. Says he misses my cooking.


Eric is 25 now. Where did the time go?
