Let's go back to winter 2009 for a moment or two.

3 generations.

Family photo. Vlore, Albania.


Mother is the most humble person I have ever known.

Durres, Albania. Natural is always better.

Father and Uncle in their best attitude. I don't think you wanna mess with my family, we're thick as thieves. You mess with one of us : It's over :)

Before shooting...

And after... See the difference? I'm still not peeing my pants :)

My brother, my friend, my love!

Walking in my hood.



Born to be free!!!

Hey bro, there's no such thing as freedom!!! * Bam Bam*

Last day in Albania

Our vacation is coming to an end and we are not too happy about it. Well telling the truth we are excited because we get to see daddy in a few hours.

Mariza and tia Xhilda were cuddling with me non-stop.



Mami and Auntie Rudi striking poses for the camera.




Kisses and more kisses for me.



Love water bottles. They're the best teething toys.



We all match.



Alo, Alo daddy!



I forgot to mention that Mariza is the singer on our blog [this information is new to English speakers.] We love her so much that we put one of her songs here to always remember her. Now I have 3 more singers to meet that are on my blog, but who cares about them. I met the most important one!



Group picture. Mami didn't like the one that the restaurant manager took of us all that's why she is missing in this picture.



Ohh TT can't keep her eyes off uncle Martin. She loves him!



OK, this picture makes me laugh. Look how Elona holds a baby. Dragging her across the table.




Yea Auntie Elona! Work it girl!!!



Mami was getting sad that's why she took the opportunity to take me for a walk.



Here I am with grandma's friends.

Ohhh wireless sweet wireless

Finally my lap top is in good work. I didn't have Internet for a week I think, but it sure felt like months without it. Now I realize how dependent I am from it. I know where I got this contagious disease from -----> Barry!

These days we have been very busy. We had company from Czech Republic. Below is a picture with our cousins.

10 Months Old

Milestones for this month:


* TT can stand alone, possibly for a few seconds.

* She can walk while holding onto furniture.

* TT can roll a ball to you. [Winnie the Pooh ball.]

* She uses gibberish in a conversational way.

* Understands the word no but doesn’t always obey it.

* Responds to her own name.

* Tatiana has started to crawl.


Special thanks to Auntie Bora because she had some wonderful ideas, let's give her credits for that. Uncle Martin just took one picture and left to go to the "One Republic" concert. I see where his priorities are!!

Help a sista out :)










Today Tatiana will turn 10 months old. This time I will not comment the pictures because simply there is no need to.

Barbeque

This past weekend we went to barbeque [BBQ] in Peze. It's a village by my city, Tirana. On the way there I was thinking : "It would be really nice if Martin decides to go to the beach." The temperatures were really high and all I could think of was the sea and getting tanned. Well at least I got a little tanned because of the dress I wore I was able to get some color on my upper body. It's only the beginning of summer. We have plenty of time for adventures at the beach. Next week we are planning for a trip to our community pool.









Here are the best memories that I will cherish with Tia and my godfather.











Don't you love TT's funny faces?
