Back to the books!!

Yesterday was DJ's first day back to school. It came with mixed emotions, we are glad that he is progressing in his schooling, but it means less time at home with MJ and I. Life for us as a family has definitely changed recently with the arrival of our beautiful MJ. My new life style as a stay at home mom is definitely busier and rewarding than I thought it would be, which is good being distracted and busy as DJ is away from home. DJ is such a hard worker and such a great husband and dad, both MJ and I are lucky to have him in our lives.

Our New Addition!!

We had our baby girl 2 weeks ago!! She is so amazing! We are in awe every moment. She has such a sweet spirit and adds so much to our family. We love her so much, and the love between Derrick and I has increased amazingly. We hope to be good parents and provide for her what she needs. We have received a great amount of support from our friends and family. My sister Erin and her family were able to come down when we had her (she came 10 days early and surprised us all). We are grateful that her and her family were able to join us in sharing those happy moments. My parents and Megan were able to come down a couple of days later, we were grateful they were able to come and that Megan was able to meet her before going back to Texas. My sister Tory will be coming with her family Labor Day weekend!!! We were blessed to have Derrick's family here when we had her before they went back to Dominican Republic. They have been cherishing their moments with her. Derrick's dad wasn't able to be here when we had her because of his work in Dominican Republic. He is coming in October though to visit. We are so happy that Heavenly Father has blessed us with this sweet spirit.
