In a small yet cozy birthing room, with Rob right next to Amy, Aric Angelo was delivered to us weighing 9 pounds 11 ounces and measuring 21 inches long. He had light blue eyes, tiny tufts of light reddish-brown hair, and all his fingers and toes :-) He was always either by his Mama or Dadda's side during his entire hospital stay.

Just like Connor, Aric took his very first plane ride when he was just 2 months old. Aric's flight was a little longer though - all the way across the Atlantic! Rob, Amy, Connor and baby Aric flew home to New Jersey for Christmas and had a wonderful Holiday season spent with family. Rob had a few weeks off to relax before going onto a school for his job in Alabama.

When Rob finished school, we all returned to Turkey to endure another long, hot summer in the 'Lik. Rob stayed busy working two jobs and Amy stayed busy with the boys and the computer < GRIN >

In October, Amy, Connor and Aric flew to Germany, where they stayed with good friends for a week. It was boy heaven as Connor and Aric played with Aaron and Ry.

After the visit in Germany, the Lepre family minus Rob was on to New Jersey to stay with Amy's parents. The first week there, Amy's brother Greg got married to Lauren. Aric grew very close to his Grandparents during this stay with them. He was learning more every day by following his big brother around, too! Although, Aric was very independent, he was very much a baby compared to Connor at the same age. Which suited everyone just fine, we ALL enjoyed babying him ;-)

Aric and Connor got a lot of cool gifts for Christmas. Grandma's house was being overrun with toys!

Aric is growing up quickly, as you can see here. He's our little dare devil, always pushing his physical limits to the extreme.

We moved to Delaware in March of 1998. Aric loves being able to visit with his Grandparents, Aunts and Uncle on a regular basis. Thriving, as always, his latest conquests include learning new phrases every day and beginning to potty train!
