Trim Time

Alana's babysitter, Jen, is also a hair designer. Well, Shawn believed that she was starting to get a little shaggy so I asked Jen to give her a little trim. Alana sat on my lap and was happily distracted. Just a little trim around the ears and a little off the back. Well done Jen! Thank you for keeping our daughter beautiful!

Thank you Ms. Jen!

All beautiful again!

It's Festa Time

Another summer, means another trip to Festa Italiana. My neices dance with the Children's Italian Dance Group. No. We do not have an ounce of Italian blood in us but why not? They have a great time and dedicate a lot of energy learning the dances. This year proved to be no different than any other. We were joined by our friends, Matt, Sarah & Genevieve Maio. Thanks guys!

Alana is 9 months old!

Alana turned a whopping 9 months old on July 9, 2010. She continues to amaze us. She is getting an additional 2 teeth, bringing it up to 6. Poor thing always breaks a high fever whenever she gets a new tooth. She weighs in at 16 pounds and 2 ounces and is 26" long. She began crawling the day after she turned 9 months. Not good. We're not ready for that mobile of a child! She thinks she is the funniest thing ever and is always smiling away! Showing us her best feature...
