Dominic Loves to Dance

Here are a few quick video's of Dominic dancing. So funny!





And Dominic River Dancing





And here's one last video of Dominic and his daddy playing together.

10 Months Old

Dominic is growing so fast! He now loves to pull himself up to standing and he loves to run while holding on to our hands (note that I did not say walk). He is a constant bundle of activity and energy and I have to carefully watch for signs of being tired, because he won't even slow down for a nap! (He only sleeps for 30 min at a time twice a day).

Fall

We have had a gorgeous fall so far. A few days ago, after coming back from our daily walk, I decided to put Dominic in a pile of leaves. He was really fascinated and distracted by the leaves, so much so, that he wouldn't respond to the camera as he normally would. It was pretty cute! I couldn't decide which pictures to post, so I put them all on the blog! Enjoy :)

Dominic's Baptism

Baby Dominic was baptized Sunday October 11, 2009. Pastor Ron, who performed the baptism, was the same pastor who married us, so that was special to us. We were so blessed to also have our family and friends come and celebrate with us and we were sad that those who lived to far could not come. After the church service we went back to our condo clubhouse for a luncheon. As always, we had a great time with our family and friends and feel so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people!

I love this little suit on him!

Here are some more pictures of our time after the service

Becky's Visit

It was so fun to have my friend Becky visit! Becky and I met the year I taught in France in '02-'03. On our first day of orientation as teaching assistants in Lyon, we happened to sit next to each other and talked. Then, three days later we ran into each other again at church! Throughout the year we traveled together and were involved in the same church. I moved back to the states after one year and she moved back to San Diego a year later and we have visited each other throughout the years. I haven't seen her in over two years and so I was super excited when she flew up from San Diego for Dominic's Baptism.
She came a few days early and so we (baby Dominic included) took a trip up to the cabin for a few days of relaxation! We had gorgeous weather up there! On the way back we went to visit my grandparents in their new home. They just moved into assisted living and their place is great and the apartment is really cute!! Baby Dominic loves his great grandparents and had a fun visit exploring their new place!

beautiful view of the mountains at the lake!
