What a Beautiful Day with Two Beautiful Girls!

I had the girls out side this week in the beautiful weather we were lucky enough to experience, and i got some great pictures of both of them. i couldn't choose only a few to share, so i had to share a bunch of the girls and our little play date outside. annabella was hysterical, she hates grass, so putting her on a blanket in the backyard worked out great, and of course sofia just ran around like crazy. the pictures capture their personalities and the curiosity they have for the outdoors. i just love watching them grow and explore, hopefully you will enjoy watching them as well!

Blue-White Weekend 2008

Saturday we took the girls to the Penn State Blue White game. Sofia was excited to go see football (no, really). She also was anxious to see the Blue Band and the Nittany Lion and the cheerleaders. Unfortunately, a flat tire on the way prevented us from being able to see the pregame performance of the band and the cheerleaders. (Tiff is disappointed that she didn't get out the camera to take pictures of me changing the tire on the side of the road.) Nonethless, Sofia was excited to see and hear the band, Nittany Lion and cheerleaders during the game. She also refused to eat her lunch until we took her to the game. She kept pleading for the football. Enjoy some pictures of the game, the girls, and our friends' sons Tim and Matt. We all enjoyed the day, and all felt just as Annabella did at the end of it.

Ultimate Fighting At the Parks

The Park Family (aka my sisters Family) are big into ultimate fighting! Almost everytime there is a fight on pay per view, the buy it. Well as it turns out, there was a fight on pay per view last night, but he Park family was experiencing ultimate fighting from a different angle. Nolan, my nephew decided to get in his own ultimate fight with the corner of their porch last night as he trashed his bike on one last and final run before his tubby bath. I believe my sister is quickly finding out what life will be like with a boy.....ER visit #1 down, many more to come! way to go Noly, the eye looks great!

Wrestling baby girls!

We were at my parents this weekend and while i was trying to pack the girls suit case to come home, annabella decided that she would crawl in the suit case and unpack it several times. It was hysterical and she had a great time doing it. The two girls had a great time playing in the suit case, even though they made my job of trying to get ready to come home a lot harder then it needed to be. here are some of the pictures there dad took to capture how much fun they were having.

Glamour Girl!

Meet Model Sofia, our little glamour girl. She was playing with my sun glasses and i couldn't help but take this picture. Then when i looked at it, i couldn't help but think, wow, not only does she look so grown up, but wow, is she beautiful or what. i just had to share this because she just looks like some glamour girl on 5th avenue.

Cute pictures of Annabella!

These are some cute pictures of annabella that i just had to share. She is getting so big and just too cute with every passing day. I can't believe that in just 2 short months my little baby will be 1.

Annabella Loves to Hide!

Annabella loves to climb under end tables and furniture and hide and giggle, its hysterical. so i thought i would share some of the pictures i have taken of her doing one of her favorite things.

Happy Easter!

I know, I know, i'm a little late on this post, but better late than never! Sofia had a great time searching for her and annabella's easter baskets that the easter bunny hid this year, and the easter eggs that she and her daddy colored that the easter bunny found in the refrigerator and also hid for her to find. That Easter bunny is one busy and crafty guy! Needless to say she had a blast, and then as you will see she was quite tired at her Nonnie's house later that day and took her first nap in a big girl bed. Enjoy the pictures, we sure enjoyed watching her run all over the living room looking in every possible place she could think of.

Oh Yes, they are Pig Tails!

It is a "rite of passage" in the fanelli house (much like khaki's) to have your first set of pig tails. Well, little miss annabella's hair is just long enough to get her hair in them and she looks pretty darn cute if i do say so myself (however i do understand that i'm biased). can't wait for many more days of piggies to come!

Sofia and her daddy taking a "Nap"

Pat and Sofia love to snuggle on the couch together before bedtime, and this particular evening, i think the "stopping" (for those of you who know patrick, if he's had a long day at work and then stops for too long he falls alseep) got the best of him. in the last picture, i told sofia to pretend she was sleeping like daddy, she looks so cute. these two really are two peas in a pod!

The First Concert

Both of our kids love music, and Sofia also likes to tell other people in her family what to do. So when Sofia got to go with Nonnie to see a band concert, the band director gave her an idea that allowed her to incorporate both loves, while giving Annabella a way to share her love of music with us as well.

Sofia now likes to direct Annabella, as Annabella plays her piano. What a team. Enjoy a few seconds of their latest concert.
