Sledding in our front yard and the tomato....

Here is Dominic in our new little "sleeper" for little John Cassian. He loves getting in there and having us rock him. Here he is laughing in it.


Here are Dominic and Dad sledding in front of our apartment.

Dominic likes to take his Dad's hat anywhere he goes

Father and son...

Going over the big hill!! ;)

Thanks for the snowball, son!

A good time had by all!

It's not the easiest thing these days to bend over or pull a sled, but Mom still took her turn:)

Loving the snow

Our little peanut

He loves sitting on things sized for him, so he loved sitting on this little snowbank.

What is this snow?!

Taking a walk around our apartment complex, all on Dominic's initiative!

Dominic, to our surprise, actually loves eating a whole tomato....here are some pics of it in action.

Thanks for looking!

Helping Dad, & Trying on hats & shirts (From January)

Here Dominic is helping Dad make a wood holder for our espresso cups and saucers.

His favorite part was measuring.

Watching the game....

Going out for a sled ride!

Getting dressed to go outside

SO happy to wear Dad's clothes!

I especially love his cool scarf and leather jacket!

I love hugging my Aunt Andrea!

I love any hat I can get my hands on!!!

But now I have to get down to business.....

More hats! Dominic will want to wear these first thing in the morning and will wear them for a couple of hours sometimes!!

Bye Bye for now!

I also updated a video today...see below on recent post...

Blue 42

Daniel back in January

Here you can see how much Dominic likes to talk to his parents on the phone. And the last video shows how Dominic likes to copy his Dad and they play "Blue 42....Set.....hike!" Dominic gets in the proper stance and runs at Joe when he yells hike. It's the best.

A few more videos

Dominic and Mary Elise

VIdeos from Phoenix Trip

Here are some videos from our Christmas trip to Phoenix.

This was us playing with Dominic in the grassy area across from my parents' house. He loves balls!


Dominic's big cousin, Ryan, teaching him how to stack the cups!

Here is a unique experience from "An Act of Culture" at the local mall. Spontaneously, a group of singers sing the Hallelujah around Christmas time. We knew it was going to happen because our brother in law Mike was one of the singers. So, we were able to catch it on video. Pretty amazing.

Here it is again....you can see Mike singing next to us, as well as Mary Ellen's Mom and Dad in the distance! Pay close attention toward the end of the video and you'll see them (particularly Dad sticks out wearing red) to the right of the palm tree downstairs. Mom is to the left of Dad.

Lastly, this is of Dominic and his cousin, Mary Elise, playing in my parents' backyard.

"Christmas" videos at home and some others

We celebrated Christmas early so that we could have a Christmas morning with Dominic in our apartment. Here are some other videos, as well as the "Christmas" videos. More to come later from our AZ trip.

More U.P. and RECENT sledding!

Here are some more videos from our November trip to the U.P. Also, we have some recent videos!! I know, you're not going to believe it, but the sledding videos are from YESTERDAY!! Finally....we have some recent footage! But don't worry....we've got plenty more of old videos to post soon, too. :)
Listen carefully to the 1st sledding video, and you can hear Dominic's ooohs and awwws, as well as "Mama."

U.P. trip in November
