Lily's Birthday~Turning 6!
Happy Birthday to Lily!!!
Today Lily turned 6 years old!! I can't believe it!! Time has
passed so quickly.... I can remember when she was born. I was so excited to have a little girl! She is beautiful!
Today is a day that we have been planning for a long time. For Christmas last year, Lily got Kit (an American Girl Doll). She loved it! From then on, Grandma and Lily have been planning a trip to the American Girl Doll store for Lily's birthday. For 6 months, Lily has been saving her money....doing chores, school work, etc....in order to save up to go on her birthday to the store.
Today is here!!! WE finally get to go. We wake up early and drive to Atlanta....
Here's what happened....

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,
