Growing up so fast!

Luke is growing up so fast! He is almost 7 months...2 days to be exact and I can't believe it! He has started to crawl around 5 months and became fluent in it by 6. Started to pull up on stuff and now he is fluent in that. He no longer wants to be held and want to put on the floor so that he can crawl to wherever his little heart desires! Holdfast to the days where your babies want to be held...soon they no longer do and you will pine for those days back!

The first picture is of Luke at his first Aggie game! Ags played a rough game against FIU and won it. The next picture is CS's first cold snap and picture's Luke in his monkey hat. I think he is a cute little monkey! I've alway loved hooded towels and we received this one from my second cousin who just got married last weekend. This picture reminds me of Lilo and Stitch in the scene where Stitch is knocked down and the frog jumps on his head to save him.

Things going on in the Dominguez family: Brandon joined toastmaster (along with my brother...good bonding time); Brandon and I just celebrated our birthday's on the 8th; visited the state fair back in September and consumed 5 days worth of calories (exaggerated or not exaggerated...that is the question) by eating fried foods such as butter, cookie dough, pb&j, pizza, frito pie, and margartia; visited family in Lytle and celebrated 3 birthdays there; and I'm taking hunter's ed next weekend!!!

Things going on with me: Not really doing any paintings but I've been inspired to paint one just need to work on the source pictures now. I've applied for an internship at St. Jo's, doing M.O.P.s, still doing my Stroller Strong Class, Participating in a C.S. Lewis bible study and just being mom.

Our poor puppies are being harassed by very difficult neighbors. When we first moved in they decided to write us a somewhat nasty note about our dog's barking. So we agreed we would lock them up at night..problem solved. Or so we thought. The cops were called on us while we were out of town...leaving my poor brother to deal with the issue. Again we were out of town and animal control came out in the MORNING...not early but at the time where it is legal for telemarketers to call...to tell us that someone called to complain about the excessive barking. They weren't barking at this particular moment. Today while I was running the wienerfest 5k the animal control officer was called out again...this time with Brandon home. Big mistake. Brandon went to the backyard to see what was going on with Daisy (the yellow lab above) and our neighbors were enticing the dog to bark so we could get a ticket! These neighbors of ours are adults...so they need to come talk to us and quit being children. We didn't get a ticket thankfully because Brandon confronted the A.C.O and told him that this S*** was going on. But next time we may not be so lucky. :(
