Alfano Archives: My first blog

Okay, I haven't done this before but thought I'd give blogging a try. I have soooo much going on right now. My brother and sister(inlaw) are adoptiong from China and they just got their referral 3 weeks ago. They have the pre-approval and are waiting for the LOA. Exciting times. We are having the shower for Joanna (the sister in law) in a week and a half and there is so much to do for that.

I have a beautiful and spirited 2 1/2 yr old daughter Gabrielle, who I'm trying to keep up with. The weather has been so nice that we have been spending a lot of time outside playing. She's a total outdoor girl and is so full of energy. She's also full of opinions and has very definite ideas of how things should be, but such a great heart and that is full of love as well.

Then there is my 10 year old son Nick. He is witty, smart, cute, and has one of the kindest hearts I've ever come across. He just got his report card with straight A's, and I had a parent-teacher conference this week where his teacher let me know how awesome he is (as if I didn't already know). He is taking gutiar lessons and is constantly having friends over to play and for sleep overs. Plus his girl friend Angel who is a sweet girl and an animal lover which wins her brownie points with me.

Guy (myhubby) and I just took him snowboarding for the second time since we moved to Colorado. He loves it and is really good at it.

Guy is my love and while we have our ummm...disagreements, there is no one I would rather share my life with or wake up next to every day. He works hard and makes it possible for me to stay home and take care of our family full time. He's a senior engineer and kicks butt daily. But besides working full time he is going to school part time too and so far getting A's. Yes that's right smart and good looking. I know how to pick them.

Also we have 3 pugs. Gus a fawn boy 4 yrs old, Cassie a black girl 3 yrs old, and our newest addition Jack a black boy 5months old. And right now keeping up with his training is not easy. He is very full of energy and stubborn. He bugs Cassie constantly which I think is great payback for how she drove us nuts with her hyperness. Gus just doesn't want to be bothered by Jack. They all follow me everywhere in the house and want to be next to me and be loved.
