Good news!!!!


These two important men in my life just had wonderful news!
Soeren is one month old today. We were told by the Urologist that the surgery he needs will be when he's six months old, but it will be a minor surgery (misplaced ureathra) that will only take an hour and he can go home that day.
Secondly.... MY MAN HAS A JOB!!!!!!! He starts work on Monday. Praise God for good timing!

being in love























My sister took these wonderful photos. (good isn't she!) Yes, I am so in love with my little guy, his little looks and snuggles just take my breath away. I am slowly recovering, getting nursing onto a schedule, reminding my children that they used to be this tiny. This "babymoon" season is just so wonderful.

Soeren Titus Ezekiel Moya

Soeren Titus Ezekiel Moya was born at 10:10 pm on July 13th. Weighing in at 7 lbs 10oz, and 20 inches long. It was a long labor, but we are glad to finally have our little guy. He is doing marvelously healthy and I am slowly recovering. Thank you for all of your prayers.

saying goodbye to belly


It's time to say goodbye to belly: I'll be induced on Tuesday morning, bright and early. Tomorow, the children will enjoy other's homes (and I will miss them terribly) and I'll have a quiet evening with Jacob as we prepare for Soeren's arrival. I would appreciate your prayers, that things will go smoothly and quickly and everyone will be healthy. See you soon with exciting news!

R&R before the hard work

Resting, watching movies in an air conditioned house not far from ours. The kids are cuddling with Summer, a golden retriever: the world's best dog (except for the trash digging. Ech!) House sitting and loving the pool!!! We've been to the Scottsdale Museum of Contemp Art (a teaparty with squirrels, chipmunks, and mice exhibit were the favorite for the kids), went to a kids showing of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, thanks to some tickets given to us. We're having quite literally a dream vacation in our own neck of the woods (or cacti) and loving it!
Good news: the baby turned around and no longer breach. So relieved!!!I'm dialated to 2 and 70% effaced. We're all just kicking back and waiting for the arrival of Soeren. Life is peaceful!

sitting on a nest

Don't worry, still here. Just doing a lot of resting, amazed by my husband who has helped out so much. I am larger than life but finding that watching soccer is the cure all for being so close to having a baby (except when contractions start because I'm so into the game. They stop though, and life keeps going) Just found out that little bean is in between breech and where he should be. (in my hip) Hoping he moves to the right place soon or no induction, just a lovely C-section. Never had one before, but thankful I have a husband at home who could help if need be.

I'll be 29 on Monday: which feels odd. When I was a kid 30 seemed so old, and now it's not that far off. 29 is the age you tell people for the rest of your life, so I'd better enjoy this year. Five babies... can't complain there! Married to a great husband for almost 8 years... no complaints there. I am thankful for all that the Lord has given me.

Meanwhile, the temp is in amazingly high numbers, we've fried an egg on the sidewalk, watching library movies and yes... I'm sitting on my nest and can't wait to meet this new one.

Trip to Sedona with friends

We had a wonderful time yesterday on a short trip to Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon with some friends. It was breathtakingly beautiful and a whole lot cooler than Phoenix. I felt so refreshed!
Columbine growing alongside the creek.
A cute one of Aiden
I loved this one of Abigail. So serene!
Abigail took this one herself. Very Ansel Adams if I do say so!

My blue eyed cutie pie
Eddrick loved all the dirt!
The gorgeous red rocks and trees.
Hiking buddies!
Eddrick loved this, I think it was a boyhood dream come true to find a path, a door and a cool cave inside!



We love Sedona!
