Happy Father's Day 2009

Happy Father's Day!!
We went over to Pat and Mom's for a wonderful Father's day lunch.
We ate wonderful food and opened presents.
Here, the kids climbed up on Danny's lap for a little lovin' and I was
able to snap the picture.
We have such a wonderful Daddy...
We Love you!
Danny & Lucas

Sitting on the porch swing is so relaxing. The kids really enjoy it.
The weather was perfect!
Lucas, Mom & Nana

Mom & Nana up to no good!

Me & My lovely hubby!
I love him so much...
he's such a wonderful husband and father to our
children. We couldn't ask for any better!

Pat loves pictures!! Doesn't he look so excited!

Nana & Papa


Papa opening his presents....he wanted some
long pj's that wasn't flannel....so that's what he got!



Lily showing Daddy her card that she picked out...it said this is one
card that I will never take out of your wallet...it was a Wonderful Daddy card....
She's giving him a heads up that she's going
to be taking his "credit cards"!
She thought that was so funny and had to get it for him.
Lily LOVES picking out cards! We would be there all day if I'd let her.


Now she's moved over to Granddaddy. She wrote in his card and helped
pick it out too. She loves giving people stuff...she has such a big heart.


The kids helping Granddaddy open his presents.



Daddy opening his gifts, too. He loves his watch!!

The food was so good, we don't want to get up!
Enjoying a few moments together...
God has blessed us all so much!

Grandma & Granddaddy had just bought Lucas a few rubbery animal toys...
He loves them so much!
So they thought it would be funny to put them all over Granddaddy...
He was a good sport about it, which made the kids love it even better (and they
were cracking up!!)
Thanks Granddaddy!
We love you!
We had an awesome day!
Thank you God for the wonderful Father's that we have in our lives! I have been blessed to have several in my life, I'm very thankful for all of them.
We also wished that Abuelo could be here with us too.

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
