Our Exciting New News!

This is our New News!!

The Mejia Family is getting Bigger!

I didn't trust just ONE test....so I took another!

(I actually bought more, but Danny asked me how many it was going to take to believe it....Ha..ha..) so I stopped taking them.

After realiting set in and a few days passed, I'm really excited. Don't get me wrong, I wanted another, but for some reason it hit a little harder this time.

God is so Good to us and I know His hand is in this too!

The kids didn't believe us either....isn't that sad? It took them about 2 days, then they started asking questions. They heard us telling people and then realized we weren't joking. Lily wants a sister....Lucas said he wanted a brother...then said, "Acutally, I want one of each, a brother and a sister!!" Oh, boy!! Becareful what you ask for son.

Anyway, we are thinking we are due July 22nd, 2011 (which is one of my Grandmother's birthday and one of my Aunt's birthday...how exciting!)

Until my Dr's appointment (which I haven't scheduled yet) that's all we know as of now. :-)

October camping trip

October 9th weekend we went camping with our good friends, The Kinsey's.

They have a pop-up camper that they allow us to stay in with them.

We have had so much fun. This was our 2nd trip recently...I'll have to post the other pictures later.

We really enjoyed our time! This was a camping area that was very primitive! No water and NO electricity!! We survived and enjoyed it.

Here was something that Lily had written in the sand by the creek.

How sweet!

We chilled by the fire because it was quite chilly out.

The kids enjoyed getting sticks and poking at the fire, or throwing more wood on the fire to keep it going.

We roasted marshmellows, made warm ham and cheese sandwiches, and hotdogs.

What wonderful memories we made!

Even the dogs enjoyed themselves!

Here's sweet Bella.....

And adorable Ridge, Bella's favorite friend....

Making blueberry bread

On October 6, 2010 The kids and I decided to make some Blueberry bread from a receipe that I found online. They enjoy cooking in the kitchen with me and I'm trying so hard to get better at letting them help me. It's so easy to just do it myself but the memories we make in the kitchen will last forever.

They enjoyed making it....they took turns mixing and adding the ingredients.

Here it is all finished! It looked very pretty. It was eaten up....however, I didn't think it was sweet enough. Daddy really liked it because it wasn't so sweet. I'd make it again and I think that I'll have helpers, too.

Our Family

Well, a day in the life of the Mejia's, is never a dull moment. Danny works very hard for our family as an RN in a children's hospital in critical care. In his spare time he has taken up a love for woodworking. He has made us a wonderful bench for our dining room table and some stools for the kids. Holly tries very hard to balance between family life, working from home as an embroider/sewer, being a teacher now to Lily, and a friend to some amazing people we have met here in the mountains. Lily is now 5 years old and has wanted to be homeschooled for a long time. We finally made that decision to do that and she is doing amazing. Lucas is now 3 years old and is full of energy! He never stops going. He is very smart and also has a big temper. But the next minute he is saying, "Mom, I love you...you are my favorite Princess." Of course, I melt. Ty is now 16 years old...watch out and stay off the road if you are anywhere near Gainesville! He doesn't take much time to stay in touch with us these days. That makes the whole family really sad but all we can do is pray EVERYDAY for him. We love and miss him terribly.
As for now, that completes the Mejia family. Occasionally, I want to add a furry friend (dog), but for now...we just don't have the time or energy.

May God bless your life as he has so richfully blessed our family.

We have survived the Summer (2008)

Well, we did it. We survived this summer. It was a very busy one for us. Gustavo and the boys came to visit. We had Vacation Bible school for a week. It was my first year teaching--2 & 3 year olds. Boy, that was challenging. We went to Enota campground and visited with Uncle Rob and Aunt Lyn with Elena. That was a super experience. Then the 4th of July celebrations in town and at church. Then the company just kept rolling in. The kids enjoyed having all the company. Riley and Peyton came for 9 days. It was packed full of fun. We went to the Georgia mountain fair--which we enjoy every year. Grandma took the girls horseback riding. Then Rhonda brought Nana Inez and Taren and Dolph came and we had such a good time. After they left, Mila, Xavier, Jorge, Mila's parents and Ty came for a week. Those teenagers keep you busy! Lily and Lucas really enjoyed seeing Ty. They miss him so much. Now, school has started back. Lily started Kindergarten. So far, she likes it pretty good. Lucas will start a pre-school for 2 mornings a week.
Thanks for visiting our blog. Check back often, because I try to keep it updated...however, I still have a lot to do since I've been so busy this summer.
We don't know if we have tomorrow, so tell the people you love...that you love them....
Have a great day...and be Blessed!
In His name,
The Mejia's

This Summer (2008)

Hey everyone,

This summer seems to be flying by. We have stayed so busy! We have had company, survived Vacation Bible School, and now this week getting ready for Lily's Birthday party for this weekend. After her party we have Nana Elizabeth and Sam coming for a few days. After that we have Riley and Peyton coming while the fair is here. We have a lot planned and are real excited about the next couple of weeks. We miss everyone back in Florida but are so excited to be here in the Georgia Mountains!
Until next time, Find refuge in Him!
Love,
The Mejia's
