Hello again!

Well it is 11:00p.m. And I am WIDE awake...I am not sure if it is the Diet Mountain Dew I drank or just the fact that I cant sleep at night. But either way I am here. I was going to scrap book but I am having a hard time getting started. Whats new at the Francom house? well...Tyler is finally realizing that he HAS TO turn in his school work and not just hide it in his desk. Riann Tried shoving Dominic in Hurley's cage and the skin on his nose and four head peeled and it looks now like he was badly burned. I tried to get a picture but he won't let me do anything involving his face. (I will try again even if he is asleep) It is so sad. Looks like it hurts, I hope it doesn't scar. Jed has been home with no work the last two days...yay (can you hear the sarcasm?) My feelings about the new puppy change daily. Knuckles is still a good boy but, he had to go potty bad last night and didn't quite make it all the way outside. (luckily it was only #1) And Me...I am actually doing ok in all the chaos. Maybe it's the fact that I have celebrated my birthday for so many days, and I still have one more day!!! I LOVE my birthday! So I think that is all that is going on here. same old same old.

Hurley

This is our new baby. He is so funny and playful! The only problem is now me and Riann are really out numbered with the boys, 5 to 2

Happy New Year!!

We had a great party at Jamie's house. It was so much fun, we played bingo, ate yummy food, and played fun games! A few of the kids didn't make it to midnight but that was probably for the best! It's going to be a great year I can tell already!!!

Christmas!!

 Christmas eve at grandma Triptow's house.

The kids had a great year! This is the first year Dominic really got into it. Tyler favorite thing I think was his rip stick, or the kindle he got from grandma and grandpa Francom. Riann loved her lala loopsy tree house and C.D. player. Dominic liked his trucks with trailers.

My baby is 3!!!

I can't believe Dominic is 3!! (well almost, but we did have his party) It makes me so sad. I don't know where all the time has gone. It seems like yesterday I brought him home from the hospital and from that point on we were in and out of the hospital for months. Little Dominic has always been a fighter and been very strong. From the moment he was 2 months old and had to get tubes put in I knew it.  It took me longer to bond with him because he was always sick and crying because he was in pain. But I still remember the night I stayed in the hospital with him and I truly fell in love with him.  He was hooked up to so many different machines so he had to just lay in his crib or I could hold him right next to it. He was so sad, and so was I. I sat and rocked him, and cried while I looked at the I.V. in his head and I thought how precious he was and how lucky I was to have him. I have been hooked ever since. He is my joy. He is my baby. He is the missing piece to our family. We needed him, And I needed him. He is so cuddly and can always make me smile. He has won the hearts of all his family and everyone who knows him. I love you so much Dominic! Don't grow up too fast!

Riann dance and Tyler hip hop

Riann and Tyler did so good at their performance that I got teary watching them. I am so proud to be their mother.
