I still feel as if I am running in circles. We had a great visit with Oma and sent her back to Auntie Amy who is due to pop any minute with my second niece or nephew. I can hardly wait to find out. While Oma was here we (meaning mostly Oma) managed to paint the living room finally. It looks amazing. Ed and I went out to the movies, very strange not to have the little man in tow.
Speaking of Joe, he is doing great. He is a champ at rolling from his back to his tummy. Grabbing the spoon as he is fed, laughing at the dogs especially Pasha and his favorite activity is to sit in the swing and listen to his daddy play guitar.
I returned to work, I started picking up a couple of shifts on the weekends, I hate to leave the boys but it is nice to get out of the house.
The house as you can see from the pictures has gotten some more work done. The contractors returned and finished the ceiling on the front porch and now we are missing the floor. They should be back this week to put the new one in. At least I hope they will be, it is a pain to deal with the dogs going in and out through the back door. For those of you that haven't been in the house we have to go through the laundry room to get to the back deck. Our cats have litter boxes in the laundry room so imagine if you will me with Joe in my arms trying to get three eager dogs through the laundry room and out the door before they get into the litter boxes for their favorite treats, kitty rocca. Yuck!!!!!! Any how I will be glad to have the front entrance restored.
We had a quiet fourth of July, the weather was a bit grey and wet so we stayed home and enjoyed each others company. Next year we will find a pick one of the many fireworks shows and take Joey.
Daddy's birthday was yesterday, we had a quiet evening at home. We celebrated on Saturday by going out to dinner with Grandma and Grandpa and Great Grandma at Vince Anna's. It was a very pleasant evening. Joey was great, I know he is looking forward to joining us in eating dinner but so far he has only two lower teeth. I keep telling him he needs a few more before he can try the big people food.
I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy,
Take care, Love Nikki

Wow!! Look at you guys. The ceiling is beautiful. I like the wide open feeling of the floor---it will create an interesting traffic pattern for your guests. The little black and white "bee" is adorable. Give him a big love from Oma.
Love, Mom
Yo,
Joey is adorable in that black and white outfit. Cousin Luke says hi. Cousin Sprout sticks out a tongue and says, "You can't make me come out!" Oh dear.
Happy Belated Birthday to Ed. We are all lame and sorry for missing it.
Love,
Amy and Co.
