We learned today that Grandma Snow has decided to book a flight and spend an extended weekend with us for Dominic’s second birthday. She arrives in Vegas in about an hour and leaves Monday night. We spent the afternoon getting ready for Dominic’s big 7/7/07 birthday party. Eliana and I picked up his gifts: a […]

I thought I would not be the last one in the family to post on our blog (It’s a race between Vinny and Pete Sr. now). It’s official: Vickey has actually done her own post on the family blog. Surprised honey? As you can see, Pete has beat me to the punch about all the […]

Yesterday for the Fourth of July we had a pretty laid-back day. We hung around the house that morning. Eliana had her weekly art class at 10 a.m. I took Ellie to the movies, Ratatouille, which was good, around noon with Mark and his kids. When we came out of the movie the thermostat in […]

A couple weeks ago, on a few different early morning occasions, I had a bloody nose that just wouldn’t stop. I drove to work with tissue stuffed up my left nostril in an effort to curb the unexpected bleeding. I didn’t think much of it. Then about a week ago I was blowing my nose […]

My dad and I celebrated our Italian heritage today (June 29) by welcoming our official name day (see my previous post, Pete’s Blog: What’s in a Name?, and what I wrote about Dominic’s name day last year, Pete’s Blog: Happy Onomastico Dominic). Actually, I didn’t even remember it until this evening when I was looking […]

Hi everyone! As touted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal and just about every other media outlet, there’s a lot of buzz surrounding 7/7/07. It’s the gambler’s lucky number, so you can imagine why Las Vegas is gearing up for the special day which will include thousands of nuptials. And wouldn’t you know it, Dominic celebrates […]

Here are a few photos from some activities this month. We’ve got pictures of the carwash, one of Dominic’s favorite new words. And some photos of Dominic in the front courtyard and playing in the house. It sure seems like they’re quickly growing up and getting bigger.

Yes, it’s truly summer here in Henderson. We’re up to about 110 degrees every day. Inside of parked cars I’m sure it’s five to 10 degrees warmer than that. A couple times this week I’ve ventured out with the kids in the double jogging stroller with Tank hitched up. I’ve either been jogging or rollerblading. […]

Those of you who enjoy hot or even warm showers will appreciate this story. Remember two-plus years ago when our hot water heater dumped 50 gallons of water and I had to tend to it shortly after having knee surgery? We replaced it with an energy efficient Kenmore model. However, for the second time now, […]
