Snowmageddon 1.0

Dominic has a blast with his PawPaw. Snow play is no exception! This kid loves the snow so much I have to literally drag him out of the dirty snow piles in parking lots on our way into the stores. This year I snagged a sled and an inflatable snowmobile 70% off at Target the day before Snowmageddon 1.0. Best.purchase.ever. Or at least for the week. :)

After Dominic took a ride or two, he decided it was time to try to pull PawPaw. Sadly he didn't get very far with that. Apparently we need to be eating more Wheaties around here. I also tried to snap a pic of the snow angels I made with Dominic before PawPaw came over. Hard to believe it, but our snow fort was even more pathetic, even with the assistance of snow brick molds.

Friday Night Fun

Painting with trucks. Awesome.

Valentines for our sweethearts

I have a little bit of backtracking to do. We will start with the big day for February. Dominic and I caught a few peaceful moments before Valentines and used the time to write to our flames: my dear hubby for me, of course, and Brooklynn Handley for Dominic. I'm not sure why he got it into his head that he wanted to make Brooklynn a valentine, but once he decided to, nothing was going to deter him. We also made some for GiGi, PawPaw and Aunties Katie and Melissa. Dominic was most excited about his valentine for daddy, though.

We went through the entire process in one sitting: making the valentines, stuffing the envelopes, addressing them, sticking on the stamps, and finally walking them to the mailbox. It was a rare teaching opportunity, to be sure. And fun for Dominic, of course.

Welcome

I am long overdue for a blog of our crazy lives. And I know what you're thinking: woman, you're busy enough already. Quit adding more to your "to do" list. Well, you never know what you're capable of until you try, I like to say. (Actually, I just plan to stop reduce my favorite online shopping addiction at amazon.com, but its not enough of a commitment for me to want to say that out loud yet). And anyways, this is serving as a great distraction from the 200+ pages of garbage filed by opposing counsel that I have yet to wade through this afternoon, but enough justifications: I'm here, and planning to make a more serious effort with this blogging thing. Because really, I am excited to share our family and adventures with you! If you are reading this "welcome" post, then you obviously already know about our family, but a quick debrief anyways: I have a loving husband, Mike, an almost-three year old, Dominic, and twins almost seven months old, Vincent & Marcus. Vincent is listed first because he's my favorite this week, but after Vincent starts rolling all over my house like his brother, that will undoubtedly even back out. Ok, ok, really I love them both to infinity and beyond. Maybe even the toddler. Anyways, welcome!
