It was an amazing Christmas!!

Pictures from the Christmas party!!

Professional pictures of our cute family!

A few days ago we went to Sears and we took these pictures that we are so proud of! We are a cute little family and we are happy, so we want to share our joy with you, friends and family. Chad and I love Giovy in these pictures, we feel that she is the image of innocence and cuteness! We love her so much and we are so proud of her!

Daddy and Giovy time!

I love these pictures! Giovy loved being in the back yard, running through the leafs and then, because she was tired she laid on Chad! I love my family!

A couple a weeks ago we went to Jacinda's birthday party and we had a great time, it was an awesome party and we saw so many friends that we didn't get to see since got back to the States. Happy birthday, Jacinda!

Giovy and mommy time!

I love my little girl! She is so fun, everyday she is doing something new or she is saying a new word. I love this stage of hew life. She is very active and at the end of the day i am really excited that she is going to bed, but we have a lot of fun during the day! Love you, Chiuchi.

Giovy's friend's birthday

Two week ago we celebrated Alisha's little girl's birthday. Izzy turned one and the parents threw a great party for her. Giovy absolutely loved the party and, of course, the bounce house. We had a great time, so Happy Birthday, Izzy!

Halloween!

I was so excited about this Halloween party! I was a flopper, it's a dancer from the 1920s, chad was going to be a mafia guy and my little giovy a cat. But Chad and Giovy got really sick the day before Halloween, and that really sucked! I still went to the party with my mother in low, Katie and Nic. It was fun but it would have been so much more fun with Chad and Giovy. We still dresses up Giovy and took pictures! My first Halloween in the States..... Maybe next year will be better!

Two days ago we went to see a few new houses because next year we want to buy a house. We saw this house and we just loved it. There is something special about new houses. So, as you imagine is all I think about: how cool is going to be when we will be in our own home.

I miss my family

My laptop was broken for a few weeks and that's why i couldn't blog anymore. I am really happy to have it back because it really sucked not having it. It has been three months since we moved to the States. The two months I was fine and about a month ago I started really missing my family, my wonderful friends in Romania, the church. So, I am in the process of adjusting, building a new life, finding my purpose here. I just joined Gb3 2 weeks ago and it has been awesome, people at church are really cool, Chad's family is great but I still miss my family and friends. I guess this is the process that I have to go through and I know that God is going to help me.

"More" in sign language

Giovy and her friend Ryan. I think that he was kind of flirting with my girl but she is playing hard to get! I did teach her well!

My girl loves Elmo!!! From the million of words that she says everyday, in her own language, I always understand the word "elmo" She wants to watch "Elmo in Grouchland" twice a day, but, of course, she only gets to watch it once a day. I like her obsession with Elmo!


And she, also, really likes to play with other kids. I take her to the mall, to the playground, and she loves it. She wants to climb on the islands for bigger kids and one time if I wouldn't have gotten behind her on time she would have broken her neck, probably. She is, for sure, a hand full, but I love her to death!

My husband got a tattoo!!! He went to Las Vegas to meet with his best friends from college and he came home with a tattoo!!! But I knew he was going to do it. Actually, I love the meaning of his tattoo and that's why I agreed for Chad to have it. Here is the meaning. It is a compass, inside a crown of thorns; in between each arm of the compass is one of his four responsibilities as a man: first "Son" in Hebrew (son of God), then "Husband" in Romanian, then "Father" in English and finally "Servant" in Greek.

I am a brunette now. I did it today! Chad wanted me to go brunette for a while so I thought I should try now that i made a big change in my life. If I can change countries I can change my hair too. And I really like it but I have to get used to it. It took Giovy a few seconds to realize who I was and then with a big smile she screamed "mama"!!!
