Cowgirl!

This will be Annalisa's first Halloween and probably the only time where I get to decide her costume. I'm thinking we have many, many years ahead of us worth of princesses costumes so I wanted to do something different this year. So, here's what I got!

She'll be a cow girl!

If it's cold I can put a heavy long sleeve, turtle neck sweater underneath it or I can put a light shirt (Florida...you'll never know how the weather is going to be). I plan on putting her hair in pony tails with red bows and I'll get her some boots.

I doubt she'll wear the hat but she can put it behind her on her back hanging on the string.

Can you say Yeeehhh Haaaaa!!!!

New Arrival in the Speciale's Family!

I am happy to finally introduce my new niece Roberta Speciale.

She was born this past Monday.

Mom Cristina and Dad Franco are doing very well and adjusting to being parents.

As all the other Speciale and Liuzzi babies...She's a cutie!

1st Anniversary of Referral Call!

Last year just about this time we finally met Annalisa. We knew the Stork was on its way but thought we would have to wait until after the long weekend before we'd get the call.

We both went to work and around lunch I decided to give up on the hope of receiving the famous "The Stork Has Landed" e-mail from our agency and went to lunch...an extended lunch to the Mall for a little Shopping Therapy!

As soon as I got back to work I saw the e-mail. I forwarded the e-mail to my family and friends telling them the time had finally come, shut down my PC and ran out of the office. I called John and asked him to get home. I called my sister and asked her to double check the body of the e-mail to make sure it actually said: "We are getting ready to call the families". Yep, it was true!

We got home, set up the video camera, got our list of questions out and then we waited, and waited, and waited. The call came in 3 hours later, around 4:00 p.m. The rest it's still a blur in my mind. I am thankful I recorded the call as I would have not remembered 90% of what happened that day.

Here are her referral pictures!

And here is our little girl today!

We spent the day at the beach!

And then playing Hide and seek around the house with Daddy while wearing funny antennas!

Here she is in the closet!

And watching her favorite video, Elmo!
We love you sweetie! Happy 1st Referral Day Anniversary!
