Future Dominic's room

Future John's room

View of living room (front room) from entrance.

Fireplace on left and Dominic in the middle:) Dining room is straight ahead, back of room.

Hope you like it. We're open to any suggestions of where things should go!:)

Our new (future) backyard!

There is a pretty good sized patio on the left, but you can't see it all in these pics.

This is the sun room straight ahead, stroller-accessible! :) And fortunately they are going to leave the table and chairs that are already in there!:)

Luke Jr's visit, Aunt Maria, Scarlett, and More

Dominic learned a lot during Luke Jr's visit....all about working hard on those hammers and screws!

John enjoying his Gram's hugs

"So that is how you use that??"

Dominic loves to cuddle up with Maria and Daniel for a good story.

Here Dominic is asking me if he should give John his pacifier....by saying "lade...lade..lade??"

Dominic trying to pick up John....Fortunately, it is unsuccessful so Mom and Dad don't have to worry yet.

He has become very good at getting that pacifier back in John's mouth.

Our new double stroller! We love it. The baby car seat fits in the front, and Dominic can sit or stand in the back. And most importantly, Mom has a spot for her coffee on the top tray. :)

Imitating Scarlett:)

Precious Scarlett with Uncle Joe

Dominic never misses an opportunity for a miss. And luckily Scarlett was gracious enough to accept.

I hold John quite a bit in this sling...so often Dominic wants to imitate me and hold his bear.

He pats its back and whispers in its ear, "shhhh."

What is better than this!?

Dominic and John

This one is blurry, but I had to put it up. Dominic loves kissing Dad good-bye in the mornings.

Dominic's new workbench/tool set! We all love it:)

Luke Jr., next time you come over, you and Dominic will have a blast working at this together!!

John, however, wasn't too interested.

One of Dominic's favorite activities...having John get in the bouncy seat with him. He often asks me to do this.

Brother time:)

I posted pics from John's Baptism yesterday, so make sure to check those out below!
