September 22, 2006 My best friend Melanie came to visit our precious little angel. She brought her warm newborn clothes as Melene was not quite fitting into the 0-3 month clothes yet, thanks Auntie Melanie!

September 16, 2006 cousin Dominick got to hold Melene for the first time. He was very proud and after a weekend with his new cousin he went back to California and bragged, correcting people when they said her name wrong.
