It’s official!!!! Trey’s adoption went through without a hitch today at 2pm. It was great…nice to have some friends and family there, the support was amazing. Also, a couple of Dominic’s workers showed up and that was very cool. 🙂 After Judge Lowans declared Trey adopted, everyone clapped and Trey started smiling and clapping and it was really cute.

We stopped afterward to grab a bite to eat, the boys were in meltdown but we had to stop in at the Party Store to get some stuff for the weekend. It’s going to be a Dora the Explorer party…yippee. The boys are excited, that’s for sure. It’s been a busy week already and it’s only Tuesday. Holy cow.

This is the start of a busy, busy week….first we have Dominic’s preschool screening tomorrow morning and then we are going to spend the day together going to Seattle and shopping and a doctor’s appt at Children’s.

Tuesday’s the BIG DAY with Trey, the adoption will be final! We just can’t wait, seems like it’s been forever and it will be nice to have all the papers signed and the judge’s stamp of approval. Dee’s been working hard to get all the boy’s shirts ironed and they are going to look great. Now, if we can only keep the other boys silent while the adoption is going on we’ll be set.


Dominic had a great birthday #3! He got a new bag that he asked for (he wanted a purse and a playhouse and we’re still working on the playhouse part) . We had cupcakes at playgroup and then we had Grandma Patti and Grandma Jeanie, Mary and Alice and Mary O over for pizza and cupcakes. Then Godmother Ann came by and hung out until bedtime. All in all a great day!

This is such a busy month for us, with Trey’s adoption coming up on Tuesday, then the boy’s party, then Mother’s Day and Carlos’ birthday. The next week Dee’s sister is coming to visit and bringing the girls for a couple days when she gets lasik eye surgery. So, it’s going to be a busy month but lots of fun.

We’re loving the weather, getting to be outside everyday for the whole afternoon. We tried to go to playgroup today but it was closed so we ended up going to Battle Point park with a playgroup friend to feed the ducks. Great change of pace for us, and the kids loved it. Carlos kept chasing the crows to try to feed them and Dominic was fascinated by the mama duck and her two babies, very cute.

It’s late….morning comes early!

I can’t believe our baby is turning THREE years old tomorrow. Yup, it’s Dominic’s birthday. He’s very excited and working on telling everyone that he’s three now. He still wants his name to be Buzz Lightyear, I mean, what three year old boy wouldn’t? Carlos has been so cute, he’s singing “Happy Birthday to You” all the time and it sounds something like “Haaaaa Tooooo You” repeatedly. It’s priceless.

The next two weeks are going to be seriously busy…with Dominic’s birthday tomorrow, Trey’s adoption on the 9th and Carlos’ birthday on the 14th. Busy busy!

It’s time for bed here….oh yeah, gotta make the bed first…arrgh.
