Snow In The Mountains

Hi everyone! Nothing new and exciting happening in our part of the country. Well, we did attempt to rake our 5 leaves from our one little tree in our front yard. We managed to get just enough to make a small pile to play in. Dominic had fun. Gino didn't want to play in them...but he did help rake.

I thought I would also share some pictures I took from a road behind our house of the snow covered mountains. Very pretty. They have gotten about 3 feet of snow there already. It is still nice sunny and warm where we are. 70's at the moment. I'm sure the snow isn't far away though.

I had Gino's 15 mos pictures taken yesterday, that is always a treat! Normally you can look at him cross-eyed and he laughs hysterically, but of course not when you want him too. We did manage to get a couple cute pictures out of him with Dominic's help though. He is really beginning to watch and try to do whatever he sees us doing. Him and Dominic have lots of fun playing this game as you can imagine. He is finally waving "bye bye". His favorite thing to say is "knock knock". Him and Dominic like to hide in the huge closets (Gino is usually knocking to get in or out). He also likes to use a napkin at mealtimes to try to wipe his face (doesn't help much with the food strewn all over the floor...but every little bit helps I guess!). He is definetly a character and keeps us all smiling. Dominic most enjoys riding his bike every chance he gets...and it didn't take them long to realize how much fun it is to throw balls, socks, shoes, etc from the top of the steps (over the railing of course).

Each day is full of new adventures in our house. We would also like to know what is going on in your lives, be sure to keep us posted!
