We move to Mexico where my dad got a job with Sherwin-Williams.  We stayed in an apartment for several months before renting a house near the Hacienda Golf Club, outside of Mexico City.  It was the mansion of a rich Mexican, so I guess we were kind of mansion-sitting.

Santa Claus comes to visit us at my house and I completely freak out.  I bawl like a frightened child, which I was.

My sister Vanessa is born.

I fell and broke a front tooth, which was later pulled out by the dentist.

I begin walking. I’m still not sure it was a good plan.

First plane ride.

I am able to identify bugs and dogs, pointing to them and naming them.

I say “mama” and “dada”.

We move to 5114 Mills Creek Lane, North Ridgeville, OH.

We lived at 2725 Western Avenue, Park Forest, IL 60466.
