Happy Holidays
It's been a while and we know some of you have still been checking for any updates..... First of all, thanks for the thoughts and prayers.... Secondly, many of you know that Melanie is due for our second son, Drew Colin Domanico, on Feb. 1st. She is doing well and so far everything looks great. We have had every test/scan possible but, no amniocentesis. In talking with our friend Terri the other day, she convinced me to post an update regarding Drew and she wanted to see a 3D picture. As you can see in the photo, Drew looks a lot like Colin even though his hand is blocking much of his face. The holiday season has been going by really fast. Melanie and I went to Florida for Thanksgiving for a much needed break. Plus we really didn't feel like celebrating with everyone without Colin. So we spent turkey day laying on the beach in Siesta Key and going to Boston Market for a Thanksgiving dinner. It was great... We wish we could do the same for Christmas. Colin's memorial mass was perfect... A great tribute to a perfect boy. There was about 300 people who showed to celebrate his life. We had a great party afterwards downstairs with great food donated from friends and local businesses. Colin's grave was all decorated for Halloween and is really decorated for Christmas. We miss him so much but, we also know and feel that he is with us all the time. I guess we may be doing a blog for Drew but, it won't be the same..so stay tuned for further updates. In the meantime, Happy Holidays.

I check on you guys often. Thank you for posting an update.
Sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving to me. I'm glad you guys got a chance to get away.
I think of Colin alot and I know a part of him is still with us all.
That would be great if you started a blog for Drew. You already have his 1st picture to post. :)
Much love,

I check on you guys every day! I pray for your healing everyday and for your new baby to be healthy! I am so glad to come here today and see this post!
I LOVE the new baby's name. What a wonderful tribute to Colin for putting his name in with his brothers.
The picture is amazing and he certainly does look like he's gonna look like big brother. It also looks like there is quite a bit of hair on that little head.
Thinking of you & praying daily,
Rachel

OH MY GOSH...
I LOVE baby Drew's name...it's perfect. I'm glad that Terri threatened (I mean...talked to you sweetly) and convinced you to post an update. We were all worried about you guys. We LOVE you guys...and want to be nosy, in your business...and share the good times and bad times with you.

Glad to hear that you two were able to get away and rest...and who wouldn't love some Boston Market for turkey day! (i'm jealous!)
Happy Holidays for you guys!

Oh my heck.. what a great picture!
I think it's awesome what you all did for Turkey Day....
maybe you can go something similar for Christmas ... God knows you guys deserve some fun in your life right now...
Can't wait for Drew's blog...
lol and I ditto what Kathy said.
I am going over to Kathy's on Monday... Lisa Mannings baby needs another heart surgery, so we're getting together for our little support group...
I don't know what I'd do w/o other heart mommies. I love them so.
I'm so glad you guys wrote an update! What a sweet ultrasound photo. He certainly does have Colin's sweet face.
Elijah and I continue to pray for you two every single night. We will continue to do so..
Please keep us all posted on baby Drew's arrival. How exciting!
Thank you for the update. Congrats on the little guy on the way. I'll be thinking of your family tomorrow. Sorry Colin can't be with you this Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
We are glad that you had a chance to get away. You guys are always in our thoughts and prayers. We wish you guys and Drew all of the best.
With all of our love.
