Already?!?!

I can't believe it!!I laid Dominic down for a nap yesterday afternoon in his play pen and when I went to get him out so we could take Elizabeth to her shoe fitting for dance and this is how I found him......

Yep!!! That's right, he rolled over during his nap from his back to his tummy!! From everything I've read he isn't supposed to be doing this yet, so is this a clue as to what we are in for? I hope not!!

1st day of school!!

Elizabeth is now a 2nd grader! I can't believe it! Yes I cried when she walked into the school. I cry every year! I am such a sap!! It just makes me so sad that my baby is growing up. It has gone by so fast. She was so excited to start the day the little stinker came into our room at 6:20 ready for school! I told her to go back to bed and get some more sleep but she was too excited. She had a great day and is so excited one of her best friends is in her class and they are sitting right next to each other. We had a very long talk about behaving and making sure that we are respectful so she can continue to sit next to her friend. We are sure she will do just fine.

I forgot to swithch this around but you get the picture! John was trying to get me to take a picture of him standing against the tree too.

Off she goes! :(

This is our tradition. After the 1st day of school and the last we go to Village Inn and eat pancakes! YUM!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The boys and I had some floor time while we were waiting for Elizabeth to get done with school.

 John was lost without his buddy. At 8:30 he was asking me where his sissy was. Very sad! He tells me he's a big boy so he should go to school too!

John showing me how he can roll over. ( The jealousy is officially here!!)

This is Dominic's old man face. :)

I finally got a smile from him!

Right before he rolls over.

Mid roll over

He made it!!

My boys!

Fun in the sun

The heat index was up to 110 degrees so we had to get in the pool to cool off! The kids had so much fun they swam for over 2 hours! The family all got together at the lakes for one last family get together before Nick went back to Lincoln to his apartment. Yes he has his own apartment that he is sharing with 2 other guys. That really makes me feel old that my little brother is living on his own. They weren't supposed to grow up!! Tommy is now a Junior so he only has 2 more years left before he leaves too! SCARY!! My poor mom!  

John got a black eye from the goggles he was wearing because he fell off the slide and landed on his face. That was the scariest thing I have ever seen. It took at least 10 years off my life. Even thinking about it right now freaks me out a little bit.

She got some serious air here! Check out those abs!!

Zach in his own little lake!! He enjoyed it!

I love this picture!! 2 very beautiful little girls!

John was finally getting up the nerve to test out the lake one butt scooch (sp) at a time!

We had such a great time! The kids were both in bed by 7:30 and slept until 8:30 the next day. They were exhausted but they had a great time! We definitely will be doing this again!

One Month old

Dominic is now a month old and growing and changing like crazy! He is now smiling real smiles ( I still haven't gotten him to do it for me when I have the camera) and he is cooing. He rolled over on Friday 4 times in a row. He went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago and he weighed 8lbs 2oz so I'm sure he his more than that now! He is such a happy baby we couldn't be more blessed.

Elizabeth and John absolutely love him! They are always wanting to hold him and change him.

Here he is sporting his Husker binki and socks! He loves this binki! Future Husker?!?

This chair vibrates so his eyes get really wide and he goes cross eyed. Too cute!

I had to take this picture! Look at his triple chin!

He loves taking a bath until I take him out then he gets really mad at me!

The results are in!!

The DVT I have is not genetic!!! This means I only have to be on blood thinners for 6 months! We are so excited! I have an appointment with the Hematologist on Monday b/c I had an elevated Lupus (sp) hormone which typically is elevated anyways in pregnant or recently pregnant women. My doctor wasn't concerned but he wanted to get a specialist opinion on the raised level and if he will recommend me to be on the blood thinners a little longer than 6 months. So we will see on Monday what the specialist have to say. My swelling is still there but not nearly as severe as before and the pain in my leg is significantly less. Going through this makes me so thankful for my family and it grounds me and reminds me to keep my faith in God and to trust in Him. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers! The power of prayer is a wondrous thing! God Bless!
