Toothless!

Dominic is now toothless!  He is missing both front teeth and is super mad that he won't be eating much corn on the cob this summer.  I think he looks so cute!  I need to get a picture.  He has 2 more loose on the bottom too!

Almost done!

I made great progress today!  The baby stuff is all packed and ready to go.  Now it is time to start getting things ready for us to leave on short notice.

Results

Dominic's results were sent home today.  He just barely missed qualifying for the program.  We are still super proud of him for even trying.

Tested

Dominic has his evaluation for the gifted program at school today.  I asked if it was hard.  Dominic said, "Oh, I don't really know.  But I think I did pretty good."  I have no idea when we will get the results.

Tomorrow is the last day of school for Dominic.  Then we have baseball games Thursday and Friday this week.

Emotions

What a whirl wind of emotions today.  I finished painting the kids bathroom - yeah!  I put up a 3rd towel hook.....starting getting teary eyed.  Moved on to washing and folding 3 sets of new towels......got teary eyed.  Put the clean car seat cover back on....got teary eyed.  Washed bottles and pacifiers.....got teary eyed.  Set up the changing pad....got teary eyed.  Set up the crib....and lost it.

I cried when I took the crib down over 2 years ago.  I never dreamed I would ever set it up again.  Fitting I had happy tears today putting it back together.  We are so happy we can hardly contain ourselves.  The boys are so excited that they are telling everyone they meet that their new baby brother or sister is almost ready to come home.

Luke is so funny.  He explains simply, "My new brother or sister is growing in H's tummy.  All of Mommy and Daddy's baby seeds died.  H's baby seeds don't die so that is why our new baby is growing in her tummy instead of Mommy's.  Did you know that is called "adoption"?  Adoption in when a baby grows in a different tummy but I will still be a big brother."

Baseball!!!!!

The boys had a game last night.  Dominic did AWESOME!!!!  Two triples and a home run!  Way to go Dominic.

Adoption Update

No news is good news at this point.  The birth mother is almost 33wks.  Luke and I have been working hard this week in preparation.  We have been washing clothes, blankets, car seat cover, etc.  We even got the kids bathroom painted this week!  I need to keep going with making sure I have some of the "less" thought about items ready - like our cloths for court and the Wii for the kids.  After my little blogging break, it will be time to clean up our bedroom so Mark can set up the crib when he gets home tonight.  We can hardly believe the time is so near.
