What a boy!

I know that I am overly repetitive about this child. I am behind on blogging as my time has been spent elsewhere preparing for the arrival of our newest in about six weeks.  I always tell myself, "Just write something, anything...even if it is one sentence."  So, I need to get back on track.

 Dominic has spent this week at Camp Gargano.  He has had the time of his life learning to be a soldier for Christ.  The day is structured very rigorous and he arrives home tired, muddy, and full of wonderful tales Doug Barry has challenged these young boys to do and to be.  He talked non-stop yesterday detailing every story Mr. Barry shared with them about growing in virtue and living your faith not just in the Church, but everywhere you go.

Dominic and John going on their traditional Friday night dates.  They went to a Saltdogs game and Dominic caught a baseball, a hotdog, and they were on the Jumbo-Tron.  

Before Shower.  I love how he stood bewildered.  He asked if I would take his picture before he jumped in the shower and after.

Sometimes, he still is so unbelievably innocent that I can hardly believe it.  We were leaving the library one day and passed a bookshelf full of books and videos they were selling.  He found a movie that was his favorite when he was very small.  He grabbed it to show me and commented on how he still loved that movie.

After shower.
Having him be gone these few hours each morning this week has left me very pensive. I am so accustomed to them always being with me and such a part of my day and our comings and goings.  I told my mom tonight that I miss him already and he is still living in our home.

He has been a pleasure to raise.
