Visit to the Dr.


Eric wanted to take Dominic to his first appt. while I stayed home with Marcus. He's doing GREAT! He now is 7 lbs 2 oz. He's a little jaundice, so the Dr. made him get lab work today. Dr. called tonight and the levels are fine. In a week Dominic will be getting his circumsicion.. ouch..Eric's taking him to that one, I took Marcus last time. Poor babies! Dominic was so good to me last night, he slept 4 hours straight! I have to say I'm enjoying getting up with him, it's a special time for the 2 of us. He's so sweet and makes the cutest little noises! We're all in love!!!!
Sariah always wants to hold and feed her brother. No surpise, she's a great big sis.

Eric and I are shocked how gentle Marcus is with his brother. He touches him so softly. He heard his brother crying so he found Dominic's bottle on the table and brought it over to him. He rubbed Dominic's head and insisted that he feed his brother. Sooooo sweet, I got all teared up.
Can't get enough of their brother.
Silly kids!
Marcus loves his brother.

Sweet baby boy!
Dominic met his cousin Anna for the 1st time. They're only 3 weeks apart!!Big girl, sweet girl.

Our new baby Dominic

It's hard to put into words the gratitude and love we have for Brandy. It's not by accident that she's in our lives. Heavenly Father guided us together, there are many miracles that confirm his hand in our adoption. We had such an amazing week with her and little Dominic. We are so blessed to have another little miracle come into our lives. The joy is overwhelming for our whole family. Enjoy the pictures of our journey.

Our new baby!

On our way home!




Marcus meets his brother. Boy power!

Sariah meets her new brother Dominic. She can't get enough of him.

Baby Dominic shortly after he was born. He's such a doll.
This was a funny picture of Eric. We just got to Redlands and stopped for gas. Eric forgot his flip flops, so he wore his dress shoes the whole day with shorts.

Tillotson Family Picnic

The kids had so much fun playing with the water balloons! Great Grandma Betty even joined into the fun. It's always nice to get together with family.
