Foundation and Trusses

The house has a foundation and in the background you can see the trusses that are waiting for the framing to happen!

So we know we didn't start our blog when the "new house" began, but we wanted to add some pictures from the beginning so y'all can see the progress on the house. These are some pictures from when it was dirt. Our lot is number 10B on the picture with all the lots. Snooky great. Because what else would snooky be?

Additions to new house!

Brad was feeling snooky, so he decided to add 2 more conduits to their new electrical panel at their new house. This will make running electricity to the backyard in the future much easier! The foundation hadn't been poured yet, so it was the perfect time to do it. Brad considered sneaking in to do the job at night, as helping to build your house is a no-no. But, Brad got the permission of the "Super" a nice guy named Richard. Kudos to Greg who donated his time and electrician know-how.

Brad & Lisa

Happily Married!!!

Mia's Story

Mia was born October 12th, 2007. Lisa's water broke early at 34 weeks and she was in the hospital for 2 weeks because she didn't go into labor. During that time, they noticed a blocked intestine in Mia and determined that she should be delivered down at UCLA. So, at 36 weeks, Mia was delivered via C-section (because she was breech). We know that was a God thing because after she was born we found out her heart had not completed closing off the four chambers (an AV Canal) and a stressful delivery might not have been best for her. We also found out she didn't have an anal opening and her right nostril was blocked. Months later we would find out her skull had fused early. All of these things required surgeries. On May 1st, 2008, Mia had surgery on her skull and suffered a stroke during it. The doctors told us she would only "eat, breath, smile and laugh". People from all over had already been praying for Mia, but so many more joined in and she is truly a miracle because she continues to progress far beyond what anyone would have imagined. This is our blog to document that journey of our little girl, thank you for praying and we hope it will encourage you as much as it encourages us. God is good, all the time!
