Dominic's turn to enjoy Raleigh's version of Hoth.

Review of Summer....

2007-09-27T16:30:00.000-07:00

We had a great summer, and got a little lazy with the blog...
Visiting friends, watching preseason football, crawling and playing..

Yes, that's a New York Giants game Lizzy is watching. Like many NY Giants fans, she lost interest fast when she found out Tiki was gone and Tom Coughlin was still the coach.

Lizzy actually did hold a fish that she caught but when she learned about the sharp fins they had, she was too scared to hold another one.

Face off ..

Notice Dominic. He's laughing because for once, it's not him melting down.
Dominic looking for handouts and sporting his skull cap.

The girls having a tea party.

Lizzy doing what she loves the most ...she started a ballet class and takes it very seriously. Hiding from his big sister ...
Dominic and his Cuz ... (little Jeff and little Mike)
Stair games ....
We have lots of baby toys but he prefers dirty plates and sharp knives.

32 and counting ....

Pool days in June

2007-06-11T17:57:00.000-07:00

Sitting up and having fun ...

Lizzy all decked out for her "Wedding".

Nicky, looking like men who years ago sported the toothbrush moustache. You know, guys like Charlie Chaplin, Oliver Hardy, Hitler.

Hanging out with Papa..
Lizzy was so sad to see Nana and Papa leave to go home.
Sittng and patiently waiting to go to the pool.

Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, VA

Lizzy with Aunt Karen and Natalie, holding their prizes they won from the fair. At the parade with Natalie, which was soooo much fun! - Wayne Newton was there, enough said.
Hello to cousin Marshall, who we finally got to meet in person!

We're back with new pics...

We have been a little lazy in the past 2 months or so......

Lizzy is out of preschool for the summer, and we are looking for ways to fill our days. She is really starting to enjoy her little brother.

Dominic is growing like crazy, and is a happy little boy. He just turned 5 months old, and after weeks of pain and suffering, his first tooth came in. (Sweet relief for us all!)

Sleeping Lizzy ...

Dominic high up in his bumbo perch and pondering life's bigger questions ...

Fear and Loathing In The Exersaucer.

Surf's up

2007-04-06T04:30:00.000-07:00

He goes by many names, like Nicky "Sticky Fingers", and Nicky "No Neck". But here he's simply Nicky, "The Grom".

He's got that 'Only a surfer knows the feeling' look ...

Surf's up.
Surf's down.

These days the line to use the computer starts behind Lizzy ...

It's not mainstream baby attire, but the infant headband is catching on ....

Lizzy's 4 ! and other stuff...

Spring training began this week. Batting practice didn't last long because when she went to retrieve the ball, some flowers caught her attention and it was over from there.

Lizzy doesn't tower over too many kids, so she's enjoying this moment.

Lizzy doing her best to avoid getting diabetes.

Lizzy having a happy moment at her Chik-fil-a bday party.

The happy moment briefly ended when the huge cow showed up. Seriously, look at the size of that cow.

Dominic watching Mom eat a Qdoba burrito.

She won't dare hold a lady bug but somehow holding this live lizard doesn't bother her.

Nicky, lost in toyland.

Lizzy makes a trade, swapping her teddy bear for Nicky's blanket.
The brownie says, "I love daddy", but after daddy threatened to eat the whole thing she may have had a change of heart.
Need to find out where Nicky got those pants, those things are looking sweet.They didn't have the "Bumbo" seat when Lizzy was his age. Judging from the smile, he seems to like it.

After sitting in the "Bumbo" for six hours, Dad had to straighten him out.

Winter update

Apprently you're never too old to sit under the toys meant for infants. Here big sis moves in on Nicky's space.

A little tummy time on big sis.

Tummy time coming to an end. When the crying started Lizzy was heard saying "I'm done with him".

Count them: One, two, three, four, five DEAD lady bugs.

The new norm...

2007-01-29T07:15:00.000-08:00

After close to six weeks of adjustment, life has a new definition of normal.

Here are some recent pictures....

SNOW!!! ( a little...)

2007-01-18T16:58:00.000-08:00

We received a little snow this morning in Raleigh. It was enough to make a small snowman on our deck. Pictured here is "Henry" (Lizzy's name for him). He's got arms of sticks and a 2 cent head ( his eyes are pennies).

Not be confused with Henry is this guy, who was described as having, " a million dollar arm and a 10 cent head".

Here we are taking a break to pose for a picture with Henry.

The fingers are cold, so it was time to head inside and eat some Cheerios.

Dominic never met Henry, but some day we'll tell him about him.
