Ali Isn't The Only New Kid On The Block!

Indeed she is a "Proud Product of the Team Torres Expansion Project". Thanks Auntie Ang for the Onesie! It sure is a lot cuter when Alessandra is in it as opposed to hanging on a clothesline in your living room! :)

Since it's been a couple of weeks since I posted, lots of fun updates to share again! This time, I'll try to keep it short and sweet since I have a lot to report.

We went back to work last Monday, October 20th and it hasn't been half bad. And yes, I said "we"! Ali has been accompanying me to work every day, and my office is now transformed into a nursery! Jen has also been bringing Ethan in so our office suite looks like a day care! As poopy as Carrie could be about all of this, she is actually doing quite well and enjoying it! She is sure to stop in our offices several times a day to say hello to Ethan and Ali, and she stops in my office each night to get Ali ready to go home. (Puts her jacket on, straps her in her car seat, packs away her things..) Thanks Auntie Carrie! After all, you do have some practice to do in preparation for when your sister Courtney goes into labor ANY MINUTE!

Here are some "All In A Day's Work" Pics:

My Office

Jen's Office (and Jen and Ethan of course!)



The weekend before we went back to work, Alessandra got to meet cousin Carlos!



THEN...Liza Pie got last-minute tickets to go see the NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK! This was my second NKOTB concert...The first was in 1989 when I was truly rockin' out with the tshirt and big pin. At that time, my faves were Joey and Jordan. I must say that this time around, the other three (Donny, Danny, and Jon) are the hottest! Oh, to love a boy band!

The NKOTB!



And finally, here's a funny for you at our poor friends Jessica, Dennis, and Gavin's expense: Jess' family had a shower for her and put forth tons of effort to make a beautiful cake with Gavin's photo and stats. When her aunt asked her which photo to use, Jess sent a file of all of her blog pictures that she's posted and told her to pick any one, Jess liked them all. Does the picture that she chose look familiar to you??? Here's Jess displaying the masterpiece for us:



That's right! That would be an image of Alessandra...Oops! Well, I have to be honest, it IS a gorgeous cake! Sorry for the cake snafu, but we LOVED it!! :) And speaking of Gavin...He came home on Friday!!!! Great news and a day that we've all been waiting for. Congrats once and for all, Anding Family! Ali can't wait to meet her buddy!

That's all she wrote for this week's post. Have a wonderful rest of the week and I'll talk to you all again soon!
