I'm alone in my house on a weekday morning for the first time in over 5 years. While I am cherishing some "me" time, I'm also getting sentimental - because this morning is a preview of what this fall will be like when both boys go to school.
Dominic is star of the week this week at school. As a reward to Luke for his great potty training success, he was invited to spend this week with Dominic at school. Both boys were so excited and everything must be going great because the school hasn't called to pick up Luke early.
While I will enjoy my time in this fall, I'm hoping that by spring my days will once again be filled with chasing little feet and changing diapers. That's right folks - we have officially decided to go for IVF #7! No date yet.....we will keep you posted.

Boys and Toys!
Luke's favorite gift - Bumblebee Transfomer!
Dominic's favorite - his MP3 player! Let the "tuning out" begin!Christams Eve
Luke waiting for Santa's arrival! He was very excited.
Maybe Santa isn't the great guy Luke had hoped for!
Dominic - still not sure about Santa this year either.
Luke - our handsome boy - never camera shy!Addsion Time
The boys just LOVE their cousin, Addison, and all the time they get to spend with her. We are glad she is feeling so much better now. And after this Friday, hopefully even better yet - she is getting tubes in her ears.

Welcome 2010 Update
Wow - so much has happened since my last post.
Christmas was womderful - the boys were very excited and didn't like Santa again this year. At least some things never change!
We found out that my aunt (Mom's sister) was diagnosed with 2 brain tumors. One was the size of a grapefruit and the other a golf ball. We were unsure whether or not she would even survive the surgery - but many prayers later and skillful surgeon hands and she is recovering in a rehab unit. The tumors are benign and the the surgeon was able to remove the larger one intact.
My niece, Addison, is now at home as well recovering from RSV. She spent about 48 hours in the hospital - where she learned to hate respiratory therapists and nurses! Luckily she still likes me even when giving her breathing treatments.
We have also had a consult with a new RE. Mark and I both really liked this man and believe that he may be able to help us grow our family. If we decide to try again, we will be doing so this spring. No reason to wait....time is not on our side.
We are also planning on taking the kids on a vacation this spring - on a cruise to Cozumel! I think I'm more excited than anyone - I just really need some sunshine and warmth. However, no one is looking forward to the 13 hour drive to the ship!
I entered Luke into the Regis and Kelly Baby Contest. I'm sure the outcome will be the same as years past - nothing for us - even though they are passing up two of the MOST adorable kids EVER - but that is their loss!
I will post some current pictures some time this week.

Floor Day
Today Grandma will be getting a new kitchen floor! We are very excited for her - she does so much for everyone else all year and really deserves this great looking floor. Mark and I are installing it - a gret test for our marriage! I am going to try to get before and after pics so everyone can see the dramatic change.
