Father's Day 2011!

Happy Father's Day, Daddy! On Sunday we had a really special day celebrating what a great Dad we have in our house. After breakfast, the girls were eager to give David his card and gift.


They helped him open his cards.


The one from Gabriella and Adriana was Spider-Man themed. The girls and Daddy really liked it!


We surprised David with a new swim suit and a Dry Fit Nike t-shirt. His current swimming trunks are at least 4 years old so we thought his was in dire need of a new ones! 


Later in the afternoon, we ventured out to our neighborhood pool to spend some quality time as a family. Here's a picture of Daddy with his two little girls before we headed to the pool. David wore his new swim suit and shirt!

Happy Father's Day, David! We love you and appreciate all that you do for our family. You are a wonderful father and husband! Your girls are lucky to have you!

Our Big Move and our new family member!

Well, we're finally moved! Last week, our stuff was packed, loaded and delivered to our new house. It went smoothly - we feel very fortunate. We are pretty well settled at this point. We just have to hang things on the walls and do a few minor things we will take care of in the coming weeks. 

We wasted no time meeting new friends! Gabriella started t-ball our first full day in Tulsa. She had practice late last week and her first game last Saturday. She loves it and can't wait to practice and play again this week. Here are some pics from her first t-ball experiences.



Before her first practice. 



Playing short stop at her first game. (The middle kid with the blue hat.) Gabby is one of two girls on her team. The opposing team didn't have any girls, but she didn't care. She had a great time! The parents help with coaching their kids, so when the kids are fielding they stand next to their child to help them understand what to do. David and Gabby had fun together playing short stop. 


At bat. She hits the ball pretty hard.


Running from first to second.


This was so cute! After she scored a run, she turned around to cheer!


One of Gabby's teammates birthday was last Saturday so they celebrated with cupcakes afterward. This was Adriana's favorite part.

On Wednesday, June 8 at 7: 40 p.m. Vincenzo Thomas Mangino was welcomed into the world by his parents Uncle Tommy and Aunt Danielle. On Sunday, we drove to Hutchinson to visit with our nephew and cousin and the proud new parents. Nonna and G-Pa were there, too, so it was a fun day to be together as a family celebrating Vinny's birth.


Adriana's first meeting with Vinny.


Gabby couldn't get enough of him. She wanted to hold him and help Aunt Danielle take care of him the entire time we were there. It was so sweet. She is going to be a great cousin and is already a great big sister.


Nonnie and G-Pa with their three grandchildren. How special!


Isn't Vincenzo so handsome? He's simply perfect and looks a lot like both of his parents. We can't wait to spend time with him again.
