MUSHROOM HEAD



Well, I broke down and spent money I don't have on a new camera. My other one would have had to of been sent out for repair and who knows what that would have cost, plus I wanted to have a camera to take with me to the Family Reunion and I know I wouldn't have gotten mine back in time. I went with the Nikon Coolpix S210. It seems pretty nice and it's small which makes it easy to carry.
So the mushroom head pic came from a dinner of pizza. Dominik loves pizza but he thinks it's fun to put his dinner in his hair every once in a while. I don't know why, but he does so here is an awesome mushroom stuck to the side of his head. I'm sure there's some sauce in there as well with a bit of cheese to ensure the sweet matted down look. Other new things with him is he loves to comb his own hair, he tries to whistle and makes the sound that happens when someone blows air over the top of a coke bottle and he makes some interesting sounding car sounds while playing with his matchbox vehicles. All very cute and talented on his part, but he still isn't interested in saying real words except for mama, dada and an occasional uh oh. He's been slow with everything else as well so I'm sure he'll just start talking one day and suprise me.
Mmmm... well I'm a boring person. I took yesterday and today off because I was sick of working so I got some good family time in. Tomorrow it's back to the gym and then work. Whoo hooo!! Can't wait for the 4th of July vacation. 1 more week to go.

Updates

Well, annual training is finally over for a year. Everything went well but I'm sure glad I'm done with it. I missed Juan's birthday (he's now 34 going on 20) and some quality time with Dominik but at least I was only gone for 2 weeks. Yesterday, I took Juan to lunch for his birthday/father's day and then we went up to Lucky Peak Lake. Dom dove right into the cold water and had a great time. The only problem was he kept running around trying to take toys from other kids so I got some exercise chasing him around so he wouldn't take what wasn't his. The poor guy also tried to make some friends and he caught the eye of a little girl who threw a ball with him. Other than that, a group of other kids who seemed to only speak spanish didn't want anything to do with him. He absolutely loves other kids so I kind of feel guilty at times that he only has us old folks to play with. I know he "should" have a bro or sis to play with, but Juan and I are happy with just Dominik so I guess he will have to play with kids once he starts daycare or preschool. He seems social enough so hopefully his lack of siblings won't affect him too much.
Other than that, I am back to work with a paperwork disaster to deal with. I'm really looking forward to our trip to the coast. That will be a great time to relax and unwind. Oh, other sucky news, my camera broke so I won't be able to take pics until I figure out what's wrong with it or I buy a new camera. Dang all the luck. I better do something before we go on our trip though so I can get some good pics of my handsome guy.
Well, I guess that enough BS'ing for now. I have to get my butt to the gym here pretty soon. ugh...I'm so not motivated right now.
