How much fun am I having? I think we know what Dominic is getting for Christmas... A big box... He played with this for over an hour. I cant believe he is almost 2. He is sleeping in his big boy bed now too. 2 nights in a row, even. He is also saying mini sentences, for example: Mine Juice, thank you mama, me go, juice please. There are more, but you get the point, LOL. They grow up so fast, too fast if you ask me. Dominic is being such a great big brother to Roman and Roman thinks Dominic is the bees knees :) Its going to be Halloweenie soon and I cannot wait to dress them up. Dominic is going to be, drum roll.........ELMO and Roman is going to be the CUTEST lil' pumpkin EVER.

In other news, Sal has started his 2nd Cycle of being an SGL for ANCOC, so the hours are crappy again. Its funny now that his career is winding down in the Army he has almost the same hours as when he was a PVT in the MP CORPS, LOL.. I guess things come full circle. I was struggling with the thought of him retiring, but honestly I think I am ready, well not quite, but ready as Ill ever be. Ill miss it, miss the spouses, miss belonging to what can be a wonderful life. It afforded us many oppurtunities we would NEVER have been able to do. But it indeed is a new Army and "we" are too old school for the new Army. But as 1 is making his decent on this journey our son will be just beginning his. I know he will do his best and make himself and his father proud, but I fear very much for him, as any mother would. Nick starts basketball next week, well tryouts are next week and he is getting excited. Ashlee is working and saving for when she gets her car, VERY SOON!!! and Cassidy is enjoying her friends and loves to go to every game and function the school has. Anthony has started wrestling and is LOVING it.. He comes home SOOOO tired, he takes a shower, eats and zonkes out, EXCEPT when the CARDINALS are kicking some butt in the World Series.. Me, Im just taking care of the family and the home. I did have a great day on Saturday. A friend and I went HUGE mommy only shopping trip and dinner. I really needed that :) And I shopped until I DROPPED...
