DISNEYLAND VACATION

Gabriele and Daddy watching the Awesome Disney parade!

Our trip to Disneyland was fantastic. The look and joy on Gabriele's sweet little face was priceless each time she saw a Disney princess (we saw them all) and the Disney characters! WE had great weather and the lines at the park where not that bad. Enjoy the pictures!

Mama, Oma and I went to the mall to see the Easter Bunny today! The other picture is of me at the Denver Aquarium. I went there with my Mama, Daddy, and Oma over my Spring Break! I had so much fun! I got to touch a Sea Cucumber, a Sea Anenome, a starfish and even a Stingray! I saw lots of Sea Horses, sharks, and many other interesting fish! I even saw a tiger! He wasn't too exciting because he was sleeping. I loved our trip! I can't wait to go to Disneyland in 3 weeks!!!

HAPPY SPRING!

Gabriele LOVES to dress up and today's warm temperatures welcomed a spring halter dress with high heels!

No pictures to post, just an update. I am going to begin my training for an Olympic Distance triathlon on June 20th this summer. I am fundraising for Team in Training to help raise money for Luekemia, lymphoma, and other blood cancers. If anyone reading this is interested in making a donation, please email me and let me know. I will try to send a link to make it easier, when I figure out how to do that. (I'm not too computer savvy!) There are two students in my school who are struggling with Leukemia. One of them is a girl in 5th grade, and the other is a boy in kindergarten. The young girl will lose her leg due to this cancer. I need to raise $2400 to participate in the triathlon.
I'll post some more pictures as soon as I take some more!

HELLO KITTY!

Can you tell I like Hello Kitty? PJ's, toothbrush and toothpaste- all Hello Kitty!

GABRIELE

To have a daughter is one of life's greatest blessings. I feel so proud to be Gabriele's Mama. She brings so much joy to our lives and everyday is so much better because of her! To think I may have missed out on this experience makes me all that much more thankful that God gave her to us- our precious gift! I LOVE YOU GABRIELE!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
