The Najera Family

Wow! so much has happened in our lives since my last post back in August!! Needless to say our lives were turned upside down and then upside down again and then back up. I will make it short and sweet.

On September 15th our daughter that we are adopting was born. She is truely a miracle and a gift from above. I have experienced miracles before especially when we got Luke but am in total awe of Him once again.

We had a wonderful holiday season and I am sad to see it over. We traveled every weekend since Thanksgiving! On the first weekend in December we went to Ohio for Juven's company Christmas party and I got to see my BEST friend Stephanie and her beautiful family! It was such a nice visit as I had not seen her in about 3 years.

The next weekend we went on the Polar Express. It was extra special as it will probably be our last trip on the Arizona Polar Express and it was Olivia's first train ride.

The next weekend we left Arizona for Texas to celebrate with our families. We stopped in Abilene first so Juven's parents could see Olivia for the first time. Of course they fell in love with her. While we were there though Luke got very sick. He is always very healthy but got a severe case of croup. We were at the emergency room three times in 24 hours. After the last time they finally admitted him. He only spent one night but it was very scarey for us and so happy he is doing better now. Luke is loving being a big brother and loves his baby sister very much.

Today was a big accomplishment for Olivia. She held her head up for the first time while having tummy time and she grabbed a toy in her bouncy seat for the first time!! She surprised us so much today!

With the new year we hope to settle our lives back in order and have fun with Olivia and Luke and enjoy spending time together!
