Today's Wish

If I could have one wish granted today, I would beg God to stop time so that my precious boy would not grow up. I just love this age (most of the time at least).

I was thanking God tonight and thinking about how absolutely perfect my Little Man is. He has such a great personality, he is so very sweet and so very smart. Not to mention I think he is the most gorgeous human being I have ever seen (I know I'm a bit biased). He's so sweet and innocent. It is too cute, his nick name is Baby and he always refers to himself as Baby. Jon put Mickey (the dog) in the bed with Dominick tonight and Dominick was so excited as was asking Mickey "Mickey. Bed with Baby? Mickey goodnight bed Baby?" And he was just looking at Mickey waiting for him to answer. I just sat on the floor and smiled with tears running down my face, wishing Dominick would stay this age forever.

Fun with Cousins

Dominick's cousins spent the weekend with us and they had so much fun. They were so sweet to eachother and loved playing together. Dominick absolutely loves other children, especially kids that are older than him. Which confuses me even more about whether or not we should adopt another child. We really like the idea of Dominick being an only child. Life is so hectic and things are just so expensive, Jon and I both love the idea of us being able to totally indulge one child. It would be cool to be able to allow him to bring a friend every time we go on vacation, put him in every sport and activity he wants, send him to the best private schools, buy him a brand new car when he's older, and so on. But on the other hand, what if our Little Man will always regret not having a sibling??? I don't know why we stress so much over whether or not we should have a second child, I feel completely confident that God will reveal to us what his plan is for our future and Dominck's best interest. If He wants Dominick to have a sibling, He will open the right doors and lay it upon our hearts for that to happen. And if not, I will be forever grateful for my one perfect, precious child.

Passed Out

Here is Little Man passed out with all his beads after the parade.

These pictures are for you mom. For the rest of you, I've been trying to find outfits for Dominick and my neices to take pictures together. We didn't want anything dressy or expensive so it was really hard to find anything to match.

If I could just find a yellow shirt for Dominick, this would be cute. The brown skirts are much cuter in person.

Happy Mardi Gras!!!

For those of you who have never been to Mardi Gras, it is like the biggest party you could ever imagine. As the sun rises, people are beginning to get intoxicated and setting up for huge crawfish boils with loud music. Whether you are a 3-day-old infant, or a 90 year old Granny, everyone comes out to enjoy the parades. It is a family event with children riding skateboards and bicycles and playing football in the streets all day while waiting for parades to come. Each float usually has their own DJ and loud music, but there are also marching bands, horses, clowns, fire trucks, police cars and dancers. I'm posting a vidoe of a Mardi Gras parade for those of you who may not live in Louisiana and have never been to a parade. We live in a very small town right outside of a very large town, so this particular parade was a small Coon-Ass (Cajun) version of a Mardi Gras parade.

Dominick had so much fun catching beads, cups, candy, stuffed animals and bubbles; and of course he was quick to make friends with the other children while waiting for the parade to come.

Thanks Pop and Hunnie

Here is Dominick on his way out the door Monday morning in his new outfit from Pop and Hunnie (grandparents).

I told him to smile for this picture but I'm not sure what he was doing.
