Matt is a tattooed, bearded, super smart computer geek with a heart that melts for his sweet boys. I walked in the bathroom to help with baths and I see Matt cuddling with his little son. Precious moments....

Christmas...better late than never.
Our Christmas was wonderful as we are very blessed to have our health, a warm home and each other.
Brothers
First Friend
One day last summer I took Rocco to the playground near our house. We ended up meeting a little girl named Hartley and her mom and baby brother. Hartley and Rocco enjoy playing together. They get into mischief, are learning to share with each other and love to dance, jump and chase each other around the house. Hartley is Rocco's first friend and we couldn't be happier to have her in our home to play!

Adele - Make You Feel My Love [Live]
To my family...especially those children of mine!
"Make You Feel My Love"
When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free,
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love

Mice, Injuries and Green Trucks
This weekend has been a challenge. It started Friday night when DeAndre's basketball team lost the District Championship game! Major Bummer! On the bright side they are still in 2nd place so they advance to the regional tournament. Anyway, I was holding my Roman and I stepped down from the bleachers and twisted my knee. It is currently locked in place, swollen and painful. I had surgery on this knee many years ago and I knew it was starting to feel weak again...so off to the Orthopedic Doc tomorrow to either have it yanked back into place (not a fan of that idea) or schedule surgery to have it repaired (not a fan of that idea either).
Next, Matt and his mom spotted a mouse in my kitchen. That is just gross and only happens to dirty people! Anyone that knows my mommy knows that she could never have a dirty, messy daughter! My house is most usually close to spotless. I am that weird freak of nature that can't relax in a mess. Anyway, that little mouse ran under the stove and we haven't seen him since. We have humane traps set up in different areas of the house. I did have a chocolate stash in one of my cabinets. Mickey mouse ate through the wrapper and ate some of my chocolate heart. Who knew, mice love chocolate!
And then...there are those moments that happen and you wish that it would happen everyday and it makes your heart so full that you think you might burst...
Matt took Rocco to Target and bought him a green truck. Rocco held that truck in his little hands and was beaming! Then he said, "Daddy, Rocco happy." Are you kidding me? There is nothing more precious in the world than that. Matt was a big sappy mess. He keeps telling me that as we remember this weekend of Mice and Injuries...it's also the weekend of the green truck. (Smile here and feel grateful for the innocence and purity of babes).

Roly Poly Roman
Little Ro is now almost five months old. He is as sweet as ever with just a few annoying habits. :)
Ro has decided that sleep is overrated. Yesterday, he slept for 45 minutes in a 13 hour time frame. How does he do it? Matt seems to think he is brilliant and that his brain is in overdrive causing many wakeful hours to "take it all in." At night, he has been waking up every two hours to eat...it is really exhausting! At his 4 month check Roman weighed in at 17 pounds, 5 ounces and measured 26 inches long. 85th percentile for weight and 96th for height! We are so grateful for a healthy baby boy! Roman is always damp...if you want a kiss, it is going to come with a glob of slobber so smooch at your own risk! He is always gnawing away on something and drooling all over his face and down the front of his body...a big, damp mess! Roman recently starting rolling over and can even push himself forward when he is on his tummy. He will be crawling in no time! Roman's favorites things to do (besides eat) are: watch Rocco's every move, play in his exersaucer, chew on his hands and to grab his feet and pull them up towards his mouth. His favorite toy is a stuffed monkey that sings songs. He beams every time he sees it! I try not to squish him daily because he is so smiley and fat! Love this little boy!
