Scianna Family

Baby Shower

We only have three weeks left until Aubrina gets here. I've been on maternity leave for a week now getting things ready. We can't wait til she comes. She's going to be so spoiled - all of her grandparents are super excited too. 

We had a baby shower last weekend at our house. It was really cool to have so many friends and family together to celebrate Aubrina's upcoming arrival.  Here are a few pictures from the party, or you can view the whole album.

About Mark & Talia

Mark and Talia met in early 2004 at Chevy's in Sunnyvale, while having dinner with some mutual friends. After about three months and a lot of hard work on Mark's part, they had their first date on July 2, 2004. They went to a nice dinner in Capitola and spent the rest of the night at the Watsonville Speedway, watching car races and fireworks.

Since then, they've been almost inseparable, and have had a great time together. They were married May 13, 2006 and became parents October 11, 2008 with the birth of their daughter, Aubrina.

They enjoy traveling and have been on many vacations together. A memorable trip was to New York for the 2006 New Year. Before watching the famous ball drop in Time's Square, Mark took Talia on a very romantic horse carriage ride through Central Park. It was the first time on the trip that it snowed, and the park looked absolutely beautiful. About five minutes into the carriage ride, Mark got down on one knee and proposed... it was truly picture perfect! Afterward, they headed back to Times Square to celebrate!
