Estimates

Dominic sent me this picture today.

Dominic and I have decided to start getting estimates for having the exterior of our house painted.  We have a brick house and some brilliant previous owner decided to paint it.  I'm not sure what she was thinking.  One of the neighbors said that the lady just started painting one day.  Anyhow the paint is a mess and not a very nice color.  We are thinking if we want to get our house sold this would be something we might need to do.  I got the first estimate yesterday and I have another one today. 

 Dominic says that he trusts me with picking the color so we'll see.  I know that the painters that I decide to go with will guide me in the right direction.  I do know that I want a more updated/modern looking paint color that will make our new windows pop.  I was pleased with the estimate that we got yesterday and the guys were very nice and professional.  So we'll see where this leads.

I got a very nice letter from Dominic yesterday.  I miss him so much it hurts sometimes.  He's been there for 56 days I think which is almost 3 months.  When I think of it like that it does seem that its gone by fast but from the day to day, its slow.  I just can't wait for him to come home.  The magic number is 179.

We had Mason's 12 month appointment today.  He is 23 pounds now.  That means he can face forward in the car now.  He's also sick but seemed to have good spirits until today.  Sure enough, when the doctor looked in his right ear he had some fluid there.  She said its a little bit red so she gave us some antibiotics to start.  I'm glad we caught it early because a trip to the ER with three kids just doesn't sound fun.
