Easter

Our Easter Family Fun

We enjoyed the Easter morning. Courtney and Dominic woke up to a few gifts.

Courtney got a couple of posters, some chocolate and the second book to Vampire Diaries.

Dominic was very excited about his back pack and water bottle. He also got some chocolate. Then we went out back for a small easter egg hunt. We hid some eggs for Dominic to find. He had alot of fun. He went off running and got alot of eggs. I guess next year we will have to try with some competition. He would run by the same eggs a hundred times and only get one or two. He was very happy. Courtney did hunt with him, but she wanted to make sure he got more than she did.

Everytime he picked up one he would yell "I got one!!"

That was alot of yelling.

Nice Weather

Well we are still having our issues with the weather. One day you can wear flip flops, the next day you need your snow suit. We wanted to get Dominic a swing set so he could play outside. We had only a couple of issues while putting it together, but we were successful. He has enjoyed playing outside on the nice days on his swing set and digging in the dirt. Oh what a boy we have.

Chuck E Cheese

We decided to take Dominic to Chuck E Cheese early Saturday morning. He has been saying he wants to go everytime we drive by it. This one is alot closer than the one in Virginia. We had nice time. We wanted to make sure we got there early so there would not be alot of people. Dominic played his games and before all the tokens were up the people started to pile in. Once Dominic saw there was a lot of people he said I want to go home. I guess he is not one for crowds.

Tired of the Weather

As you can tell from the previous day, the weather was nice. Now look what we have to deal with today..We are just waiting for the schools to close. They seem to close for everything. This is just the beginning. They are expecting a couple of inches.

Enjoying a nice day outside

We finally had a nice day with the weather and everyone feeling better. Not much to do on a Monday evening so we just played in the back yard. Here is Dominic off and running after a ball.

He said "Hey look at me I got 2 balls" but he would not look at me.

He is just kicking the ball around and running around it.
Here is Courtney. She did not want too many pictures taken of her, but I managed to get at least one to show she does exsist.

He collected a big pinecone.

We were just having some fun. We are expecting 2" of snow tomorrow. I cant wait til this weather roller coaster ends.

New Pictures Coming

Sorry it has been a while since I have updated. We have all been sick.

Dominic had a trip to the ER, followed by a Dr appointment with a serious ear infection. He is doing better now. We bought him his own bed. He has been sleeping in it for most of the night. I think it will take some time, but he seems to love it. Yeah big boy!! His school said he is doing a great job at tracing and continues to win over everyone at Daycare.

Courtney had a trip to the ER, followed by a Dr appointment with a double pink eye infection. It has been hard trying to give her medicine and keeping her from infecting everyone. She is doing better and will be returning to school tomorrow.

All of the adults have had the stomach bug. Mine seems to have lasted for two weeks. I guess it is because I have been working 52 hours every week. Glad to know that my long weeks are over. I am back to working just weekends. I will get some well needed rest.

I will post some pictures later.

New Years

For the New Year, we celebrated at home. We just had some food to nibble on and Courtney invited a friend over. They had fun watching movies and playing with Dominic. It was a great, safe way to bring in the New Year. As you can see Michele went all out with the decorations. There were 2010 streamers hanging everywhere. I hope noone forgot what year it was.
Courtney and her friend had fun playing with crazy string. They were allowed to spray all over the living room. The only thing is they had to clean up every last drop. They did.

They did not realize how messy they really got, but they did clean it up. There is no sign of it.

Poor Dominic wanted to play too, but he would not turn around. So this is what he got.

Here is Dominic bring in the New Year with Style.

Courtney's friend, Jeff, had fun juggling potatoes. Nanny is in the back trying to cook potato salad. I think she is missing a couple.

Dominic thought he could do it better. He tried really hard. All he really did was throw them up in the air for Jeff to catch.

Our three New Year Babies. They are waiting for the ball to drop. Dominic had to put his sneakers on, because he said the crazy string was too messy to walk on. But even when it was all cleaned up, he would not take them off. He however, did not make it to the new year. He was sound asleep. Maybe next year.
