Lily's Piano Recital

Lily has been so excited for couple of weeks anticipating her first piano recital. Yesterday, on December 18, 2008, Lily did a great job. She played a solo of Good King Wenceslas and then she played a duet with her teacher, Ms. Kim. They played Away in a manager. Lily has really enjoyed taking lessons and has never complained about practicing! I pray that she sticks with it and that it doesn't grow boring for her.
Lily, you made Daddy and I proud, Great job!!
We love you, mucho!
Daddy and Mommy

Fun on the Jet Ski

The boys had a great time riding on the jet ski...they were a little more adventurous than the old folks!
Grandma wanted a try on it! So Danny was sweet enough to let her drive...this jet ski has been upgraded with a larger engine..so it can go really fast! Watch out!!
Lily was timid at first, but then she got used to it and didn't want to get off! Lucas fell asleep on this ride...he loves the wind in his face. We could get used to this life!

Lily's first ride on the tube


While Gustavo and his boys were visiting, Lily decided she wanted to ride on the tube. She didn't want to go too fast...but she had a great time!

Danny's Brother and boys came to visit

We had a lot of fun the week that Danny's brother was here. We spent most of the time on the lake. We went to see this waterfall one of the days they were here. Pictured here in this picture was from left to right: Giovanni, Michael, Little Christian and Tavo. We never made it up to the top of the waterfall. They were all ready to go after this photo shoot....later I found out that we didn't make it to the top... One of these days, I would like to go back and actually make it to the top. But we enjoyed our outing. During the ride there, I almost jumped out of the car, because Danny was driving really close to the edge of the road (gravel, I must add) and there was a straight drop off. Thank God! we made it safely :-)

Getting ready for Lily's Birthday Party


Lily wanted to have a Hello Kitty birthday party this year. I decided to make our invitations. Lily got all dressed up in her "princess" outfit and got Hello Kitty and out we went for yet another photo shoot. It was a lot of fun and worked well...This is the picture we used.

We can't wait for Saturday to come! She's getting excited with all of the preparations.

My Easter Photo shoot with the kids

More photos to come soon!

One morning I woke up and decided to go and take some pictures of the kids. I have to ask Lily to see if she is in the mood for pics, of course, she was. She really gets into it these days, which makes it a lot of fun. There is a field near our house where we stopped off and took the pictures in the yellow flowers. Then we went to the Rhodadendren garden at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds. It was a gorgeous day! Lucas is not really into the whole taking pictures thing...but we got a few.
Enjoy!

Trying to stay updated

Okay, I am going to try and keep this updated this time. I would love to keep the family that lives far away updated with what is going on in our lives. We stay so busy and the kids are growing up so fast, so I hope that this will help stay updated with us. Please let me know if you continue to monitor this so that I know my efforts are worth it. It takes a lot of time but I know it is worth it.
We miss you guys so much!
We Love you all.

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
