Leah and Adam finally had their baby! Yeah!!! He was 7 pounds 5 ounces and 18 inches long. He was born very early in the morning on August 31. Leah and Adam seem to be doing great and enjoying their hospital stay. They look like "naturals" as parents. I thought I would take a fun trip down memory lane today and look back at Mya's newborn pictures. She was so tiny! She was 7 pounds 11 ounces and so snuggly! Anyway, here are some pictures of her in the hospital.
On a different note, we would like to ask for prayer for Dan's grandfather, Jack. He will be undergoing surgery Monday morning for an abdominal aortic aneurism. We just pray that he does well through the surgery and that his recovery is smooth.
Well, here is our first entry on our very first blog. I thought I would use it to update everyone on our daughter, Mya Grace. She is 10 months old already, can you believe it? Mya is such a joy in our lives. Let me catch you up on her milestones so far. Occasionally we have heard her actually say the words "uh oh" and "thank you." We are starting to introduce her to sign language to help her develop her verbal language. So far she can sign "more" with a little guidance from me. She crawls very well even though she resorts to a modified crawl sometimes that looks interesting. She extends her right leg and bends her left leg. Its like a half of a bear crawl. 
She is very ready to take off walking any day now. She has a new toy from her cousin Bella that she loves to use to walk around the entire house. She is very happy to be mobile. She eats really well and so far likes everything we've given her. Mya has quite the personality. She is happy just about all the time except when she's hungry or tired. She smiles a lot and its a gorgeous smile! We just love her to pieces!
to exercise at the place where my husband works. Its fun to see him during the day. We don't have any animals anymore. Gracie, our dog, had to be put to sleep last summer because she bit a child that I was babysitting. That was not an easy thing to go through. Our cat has been bothering the neighbors so he is living in a foster home. Anyone need a Riley cat? Anyway, its quiet around here without animals, but we're going to wait until we have a bigger house someday with a different location before we get another dog. I have had the luxury of being a stay at home mom since Mya was born. I will continue to do this as well as work a little from home. I have linked up with a professional who has me doing secretarial work for her and I love doing this. I continue to seek God's guidance on what career I might return to once our children are in school full time. I know that He'll reveal that to me in due time.
