Getting ready for Christmas

Although we've taken lots more photos and been busy with many activities, here's just a little teaser of things we've got, to show how Dominic's grown over the past month. Here's a picture of his Mom on the phone, then with audio on the video clip.

Then on Dec. 19th we hosted a Rodrigo and Luis's graduation/Ani and Rodrigo's Baby Shower at our house. It was a full house, lots of people anxious to see everyone and wish them well for the holidays. Ani (and Zulema's) baby bumps are growing. Dominic got right in the center of things and enjoyed all the attention from the ladies and the Daddy-to-be.

Santa Claus came to town?

Dominic got his first wishes from the big man while Bobby and Judy were here for Thanksgiving. Really makes me wonder what he's wishing for here....! My guess is a CookOut eggnog milkshake!

Voting Day!

We all went to vote this morning, us all out of the house by 6:45am walked down there- waited 12-15 minutes and voted, D got to wait inside while we waited outside... raining morning.
