First Family Picture

As crazy as it is, the main picture on my blog is our first family photo with all four of us. It was taken a couple of days ago over Labor Day weekend. It's special to me since it's our "first" family picture. We are having a family photo shoot in a couple of weeks so I'll replace it soon but until then I just wanted to enjoy it.

On another note, since I'm using this blog as my personal photo journal, I've posted several pictures tonight in an attempt to keep up with our recent lives and activities. We've been busy and there is so much more to update. One of these days, SOON, I will be posting more photos. Maybe even some home videos if I'm feeling brave enough to let the whole world in on our personal lives. Somehow, videos seem more personal to me so we'll see about that.

School is Back in Session

Giana started 4 year old preschool today. She will be going two afternoons a week. She did really well and had a great day! She has matured so much. No tears from either one of us. So proud of her!

Dominic is One Month Old!

Here's our little chunky monkey one month later. He turned one month old today and is doing so well. He left the hospital weighing 7 pounds, 6 ounces and he now weighs 11 pounds. He likes to eat! I have so many pictures and stories to post but for now this adorable picture I took earlier today will have to do. Still trying to figure out a "normal" routine with two kids...if there is any such thing.

Our baby girl turned FOUR!

Happy birthday to our sweet Giana! She turned four yesterday. It's so hard for me to believe that 4 years have gone by! We love you so much!


New roller skates and they were a hit! More to follow on the party later.

Baby Dominic has Arrived

Dominic Massimo Vitale was born via c-section on Saturday, August 7th at 8:37AM. He weighed 7 pounds, 11 ounces and was 20 inches long. He is healthy and doing well! Mom and Dad are a little tired these days which is why it's taken me so long to make this post! There will be a lot more pictures to come so stay tuned!

"Flat Iron my Hair"

What does one do while on bed rest? I decided to flat iron Giana's hair and she LOVES it! I had no idea how long her hair was! I caught her dancing around and rubbing her hair on her back. She still likes her curls and was wondering how she could "get them back." She has asked me twice since to flat iron her hair and I've had to explain to her that we can't do that all the time...I'm afraid it will damage her hair!

38 Weeks Pregnant

I'm only posting the following two pictures for my son so he can see what I looked like while I was carrying him. Dominic took these two photos. The first one is OK. I had to crop it because he was unsure of how to use the zoom. It's centered and you are able to get a good idea of what I looked like and the size of my belly. The second picture has not been altered. He cut off my head! God bless him but he's so bad with picture taking. I had to post it because I find it to be so funny. Looks like I have to give birth and take pictures, too.
