So Much to Report on...

First, Donnie made it back from Vegas fine early Saturday morning. He had a great time and is still wiped out from the 4-hour time change (yah, the daylight savings thing really kicked his butt!) Anyway, we missed him and we're glad to have him home. He didn't win us a new Jaguar but he did manage to win a TomTom GPS thing. Something he's been wanting...

Second, a couple birthdays. My sweet little nephew turned 16!!!! this past Saturday. He was able to stay un-grounded long enough for his mom to throw him a pretty cool party. I heard the cops were called and a drug search was done, but all-in-all, a success ;) I wouldn't know since I'm an old fart now who has to have her kid home by 8:15 to go to bed. Tee hee. I love it!

And, of course, the other birthdays belong to my precious one. I don't think I posted his 7-month birthday pics (in his PJs...I ran out of time!) so here they are. And, he actually just turned 8-months old last Friday so when daddy came home we took some pictures. Not the greatest but his outfit was just so darn cute that I couldn't pass up the photo op.

Then, lastly, since MD's now 8-months old I'm (while praying hard he doesn't choke) starting stage 3 foods. You know, the ones with the little bits floating around. He's done OK so far. The 1st one I tried was broccoli, carrots & cheese. Doesn't sound bad, right? Well, MD didn't agree...see below.

Happy 16 Chan!

We love our Aunty P...

7 Months Old!

8 Months Old! Man, where does the time go...

Happy Broccoli...

Not so Happy Broccoli...

Missing her Daddy...

"Ruff, ruff...nnn, nnn, nnn...ruff, ruff, ruff." (Roughly translated - "I miss you, daddy. Come home soon.")

Just Hanging Out...

Well, I did my best to get a picture of our son, Mila and me. Here's what I came up with. It's a bit of a challenge when it's just me here!

Mila and MD play better by the day. She now sees him as a little boy rather than a toy that moves so she thinks he'll take her toy and throw it for her. It's absolutely adorable. Best buddies...in the making.

Look, Dad...No, I mean 2 Hands

Hi Daddy! I really miss you. Well, mom, Mila and Monkey miss you too, but I'm the only one that mommy takes pictures of. I tried to get the camera from her so I could take a picture of her but she wouldn't let me. I'll try again tomorrow.

Aren't you so proud of me, daddy? I got some juice out of my sippy cup all by myself! I used both hands and everything. Come home soon, daddy. I love you. And, of course, mommy does too...

Hi Daddy!

Mommy and I went to Wal-Mart tonight and she got me these really cool shoes. I was a good boy, I guess. That's why she got me the shoes...and some yummy mac & cheese. We'll see if I like it. Probably not.

I love you, daddy :)
