BIG smiles!!!

Yes, I put my daughter in a spring dress even though it's 20 degrees outside!

Such a little girl

reading a book and playing with balls....the life of my boys

Jon made this little guy SO happy by letting him pick this ball out at Target. So happy that he slept with it the night that he got it and he won't let it out of his sight.

This is the castle that Jerome built all by himself. You will see it in the Youtube video that is below.

About Us

Boy from Minnesota went to school down south and fell in love with a girl from Texas. Four years later to the day we start this blog together. We were married on Dec. 31, 2005 in Duquesa's hometown of Brackettville. Since Jon was en route to finishing his studies in Italy, we moved to a small beach town just outside of Rome and made it our first home. It didn't take long until we found out that we were pregnant with our first child. Jerome Andre was born August 25, over a month premature due to a condition called gastroschisis. After one successful surgery and seven weeks in the hospital, Jerome came home with us and we began our life together as three...soon to find out that agent #2 was on the way! Jon graduated with a Masters and we moved back to Minnesota where Elliot Ignatious was born on November 2, 2007. After Jon started a career in Human Resources, we found out that, you guessed it, we were pregnant again. Siena Marie joined our family in dramatic fashion on November 16, 2008, officially tipping the scale so that the babies outnumber Momma and Dadda. Since then we have moved to Texas, where Jon is thrilled to be the Director of Youth Ministry at a parish. And we have added another angel to our family, Dominic Paul was born May 12, 2010. We can't imagine life without him. We're thankful to God for all of our blessings, especially the blessing of our babies and each other.
