Welcome Baby Olivia!

I realize this post is a little delayed but I also use the blog to journal our lives so I will be posting a few belated posts in the next few days so that I can capture all of the fun memories of the past few months!

There is nothing quite as exciting as getting a call/e-mail/text that a new life has joined the family.  We were so thrilled to get such a call on May 2 when our niece Olivia Kaitlyn Albonetty joined our family!  My sister-in-law, Maurilia, said her labor was much easier than with Ava and everything went smoothly with the delivery.  We told Grace and Abby and they jumped up and down in excitement that they had a new cousin!

We were also so happy to be able to see baby Olivia over Memorial Day week, just a few weeks after she was born.  There is just something so incredibly precious about holding a new baby (especially a beautiful one who never cries - Olivia)!  And I always forget how tiny newborns really are.  She is perfect in every way and will bring so much joy to our lives. 

We had a wonderful visit with Bruno's parents.  Grace, Abby and Ava loved playing outside in the pool, slip-n-slide, eating ice cream and cupcakes and holding their new baby cousin, Olivia.





I love this picture of Grandpa pushing Abby and Ava pushing Grandpa!
