We're expecting # 2

We are pregnant with baby # 2 or should I say baby XY. Went to the Doctors today and we found out that we're having a BOY!!! It caught me off guard because I know it's early to tell the gender. I am only 12 weeks and the due date is July 11th 2011 or as I like to say 7/11 [easy to remember.] I took a pregnancy test on Thanksgiving day to make it memorable. And then I scheduled a doctor's appointment about 2 weeks ago.

Oath of Allegiance

This is the ceremony of my Oath of Allegiance. My sis in law arrived the same day from Colorado, so her and my father in law couldn't make it to the oath. My mother in law, Barry and my friends, John and Leslie were able to attend it. Later on we all went to lunch at our favorite restaurant " Claim Jumpers."




Amazed by the flag.



I'm wearing red and black for a reason. Albanian flag colors :) Ok let me sing the song now, ready?

Ahem, Red and black i got the eagle on my chest , I'm proud to be an Albanian, I got my head up high for the flag I die, I'm proud to be an Albanian!!!
It sounds a little bit cheesy right? Ohhh well i tried !!











Grandma Teresa and I moments.




Ohhh Les is here. I think TT is biased. She loves blonds, I'm not kidding you. As soon as I introduce her to my blond friends she would smile and stay with them like they have known each other for years. It probably has to do with her Mom & Dad being blonds.







Leslie and I moments.

Oakland Temple

We Mormons are not only famous for having multiple wives but also for having beautiful temples. [FYI * Mormons have only ONE wife!] Who would think that I would be standing here today, by the Oakland Temple. This temple is still on my bed, back home in Tirana. And I've been very lucky to go inside. Temples are breathtaking.







Mami and I pose.



Exploring the lights.



Being a gentlewomen by holding the door for others.



Putting those tiny hands in the freezing water. The excuse was that everyone was doing it.





Catching up with friends. [I can't tell if it's Joy or Grace, one of the twins.]




Carpooling. When TT was crying Hope was being so nice by telling her "It's okay Tatiana, don't cry. Your Mom is here." Ahhh adorable!!!
