Being the mom to 3 boys, I have learned cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.

Luke cannot be outdone!


Luke worked up the courage 3 weeks ago to trust the life jacket. He is now unstoppable in the water. He has learned to "kick and reach" in order to move around. He is doing so well, that he follows his big kid cousins out to the swim dock. As of yet, he won't jump off - kind of slides in - but I don't think it will take him long.

The boys at the Lake


Here is Dominic enjoying a swim in the lake. The water finally warmed up enough for Mom and Dad to join him! Dominic had a recent BIG accomplishment....He jumped off the swim dock in the middle of cove! Of course he loved it once he realized his life jacket would bring him right back up!

It is time.....

My appointment went really well. My ovaries are at rest - no cysts - just the way they should be. I started the first of many injections last night - gotta love the lupron headaches! I will go back in a week to make sure my estrogen is nearly zero so I can then sky rocket my hormones after that! Here's to a bountiful harvest!

Almost time....

We have an appointment on Monday the 29th for a baseline scan. We have to make sure that my ovaries are at rest. If everything looks good, then I get to start Lupron! Bring on the headaches! We are looking forward to getting this process started. The boys keep asking when I will have baby seeds in my tummy again....so cute.

Dominic's new wheels...


After weeks of looking for a new bike on the Internet, Dominic finally made a decision on the new bike he wanted. It had to be perfect....no hand brakes and it must be ORANGE! Just between us, there are not many orange bikes on the market. Mark thought about just painting a different bike! But all of our searching paid off in the end. Here is the big reveal......

Kansas City Day

Dominic and Luke really enjoyed a day at Union Station and Crown Center with their cousins, Danielle and Ryan. We went to a Lego art show (very cool - everything made of legos), ate at Fritz's - they bring our food on a train, and had tons of fun playing on the escalators! The day was topped off with swimming at Danielle and Ryan's pool.

Get out of the water Luke!



Here's Luke playing in a fountain outside of the court house on Addison's Adoption Day. It was all I could do to keep him from swimming!
