Belated Update

Well folks, with the completion of my STL, I can finally get to some of these things that I have put off.

We haven't updated our blog in six months, so I basically just went through and added a collage of photos. Our digital camera broke sometime in the last 6 months, so we rely on our phones. There are quite a few photos (I think 75), so take your time and enjoy! (Too much has happened in the last six months to summarize here, so I'm hoping the pictures will tell the stories.)

God Bless you all was we await the celebration of Christ's Birth!

We're way behind

Sorry for the long pause! Even though we will soon be seeing most of the family and friends who view this blog, here is a quick update via pictures and videos.



And two amazingly cute videos:

Our House (Part 2)

There is only one more video of the house: the backyard. Not included in the videos is the ground-floor basement that is not finished. It is used for a work-out room and another play room for the boys. The apartment is the last part of the house. It is just a one-bedroom, but it is cute and perfect for Naomi, our nanny. It is an ideal situation. Again, God has tremendously blessed us.



And we found some bonus videos (they were on Theresa's phone):

In the first video Leonardo is only 3 months old.




He was 4 months old in these last two.


Actually, no, Louis did not shrink, that is just an incredibly large chair... you know, kids are so much bigger these days that they have to accommodate with an over-sized chair.


Isn't he such a sweetie?



This last video was just taken this morning. Louis actually started singing this song in bed before we let them out of their room. Gregory chimed in and they were actually singing in unison. We asked them to sing it again for the camera... The funny thing is, they've only seen that show once at their cousins and it was a while ago. I don't even know the name of the show, but they obviously liked the song!

Our House (Part 1)

Well, we're finally getting around to uploading videos of the house. Sorry it has taken us so long, but here you go! Our camera was full after doing this first group, so we'll post another blog with Part 2. Let me just say that we are incredibly blessed to have this house and are grateful to God for his continued generosity to us, his little ones. Enjoy! (It takes about 3 and a half minutes.)










Did you see poor little Louis trying to get in? You can even hear his faint call for mommy. Most of the time all he really has to do is push on the door, but he hasn't learned that yet.

Mardi Gras!

Here's a little look at how the Martin's spent their Mardi Gras:

Finally Updated!

Sorry for the long pause... here are the much awaited updated pictures of Leonardo. The poor little guy doesn't get his picture taken much, but alas, we can only do so much! Leonardo has been a very healthy little boy and has been cooing and smiling at us for some time now. He will finally be baptized on March 7th at our Parish here in Metairie.



Gregory and Louis have been getting along very nicely with each other and have been excellent big brothers to Leonardo. Here are a few pics of them... our camera hasn't gotten a whole lot of use these days as you can see!



Finally, here are a couple of short videos of Leonardo:

The video's a little dark, but it's cute to hear Gregory say Leonardo's name!


In this video Leonardo is getting a lesson from Daddy on how to laugh. Daddy's not so good at it considering the cough that he's had...

Finally, for those of you who would like to see videos of our new home... well, we're still unpacking. We've got pictures up in one room of the house, but it's still a work in progress. Thanks for visiting our blog!

God Bless,

Pete, Theresa, Gregory, Louis & Leonardo!
