Welcome Sofia!!

Announcing Sofia Angelina Garioto!!

It has been awhile since my last post, but the most exciting thing happened just yesterday, Michael (my brother) and Carrie welcomed our new niece, Sofia Angelina Garioto (think we're Italian?) into the world!! She was born on 9/20 at 5:30ish and weighed in at 7lbs 15 oz and 20 1/2 inches!! Her middle name of Angelina is after Michael's and my Nonnie (our Dad's mother).  Carrie is doing well recovering from her c-section, and Michael is quite busy caring for his two special girls.  We are so happy for the new family!!

Any other news from the past few weeks seems pretty silly compared to Sofia's arrival, but here you go....I took Thursday and Friday off this week, mostly to have ample time to rest up for the Thursday night CU game!! We played West Virgina (ranked 21/22) at home on National TV.  It was a "blackout" game where the team wears black on black jerseys and the fans all wear black.  It was easy to see the WVA fans in bright yellow! The game went into Overtime and CU won 17-14.  It was great fun, but a late night.  We got home at 12:30am.   Chuck went into work Friday morning, but luckily had just 5 or so hours to put in for the week, so he came home for a nap!! We went on a date Friday night to Maggianos (YUM!!). 

Prior to heading up to meet Sofia, we went to a bbq at Kari and Brad's which was fun! Literally everyone on their street is pregnant, so there were cute baby bellies all around.  Kari and Brad's son to be is due in January.  We made a hasty exit to be in time for Sofia's arrival with burgers in hand!

We've been up to visit Sofia two times so far, and are babysitting (or I guess dogsitting) their 2nd born (first is the cat), Trinity.  Trin is a lab mix and has lots of energy, so we took her to the dog park today to run it out of her. :) The cat is doing a bit better than with Timber and ventures out a bit.  The cat is just not a fan of doggies! 

That's all to report from here!!
