Thanksgiving Reflections ...

The other night at dinner across from us was a young boy with his family. He was in a form of a wheel chair, but where he was lying down. I say he was around 7 or 8. The boy couldn't move his head but from side to side...couldn't speak...and who knows what brain activity he had. It just broke our hearts to see that he had no quality of life whatsoever. It is sad that seeing a child like this can make you stop and count your blessings. Maybe he was put on earth to teach all of us a lesson...no matter how tough it gets, you can always be thankful for each other, for your health, for your love to give and for your family. To his parents...I don't know who you are...but God bless you!

At Thanksgiving time we would like to say how thankful we are to be blessed with such wonderful family and friends and to be blessed with the love that we share together. We are most certainly blessed with the joy this special little girl brings us and our parents every day!

Play BALL!!!!!

Last night we went to Daddy's softball game. Isabella loved it! She is definitely going to play softball, or soccer (since she likes to kick the softball!) or probably BOTH! And she will be a good cheerleader too; she liked to yell, "Yea Daddy!", "Yea David", "Yea Joe". It is so much fun to see all of Daddy's friends play with Isabella!





Here are some super cute pictures!


















"I throw you...
Ready Mama?"













Playing catch with Dad...
Check out the glove!






Of course, she even organized the bats in their holders! Joe Frausto laughed and said that is "Becky's side of her!" No one can argue there!

Family Date Night ... All The Buzzzzzz!




On Friday we took Isabella on her FIRST trip to the movies! We saw BEE MOVIE. She sat through the whole movie and all the previews with her snack pack on her lap and didn't budge. Chris said he looked and her one time, she looked back at him and had a huge smile on her face. When it was over she told us, "I Loved It!".

Wine, Food, and MORE Wine...Oh My!

"If I were a grape, I'd want to live here!" The Grgich Tour Guide

That was the quote of the weekend!! And how true it is. Napa Valley is amazing, beautiful, and super peaceful to say the least. We had such a wonderful time on our 3rd Anniversary...Napa will certainly be seeing us in the future.

Here is a slide show of our pictures from the weekend. You don't always get the best when there are only two of you, but enjoy none the less...

Trivia Question:
The Calagnas have been married for 3 years and 4 days BUT, how long have they been together???
Answer:
8 years, 4 months and 17 days!


We found Isabella riding in her car when we went to pick her up.
Here she is...














She cried so hard for Grammy and Papa when we left,
But she finally fell asleep!
While I was catching up on Dancing With The Stars, Chris was out in the courtyard with his stogie, jack and coke and computer...Isabella was up and down the stairs playing.
All is back to normal in the Calagna House!

"Scary Monster" Pumpkin!

Happy Halloween! Here are our fun pictures of Isabella in her costume, our Pumpkin Patch trips, and Halloween Get-Together.

Isabella told me, "I be a Scary Monster Pumpkin"...I don't think she scared anyone, but she was sure scared of all the kids in their Halloween costumes! What a silly girl!
