April 10th = Walk-Thru

We have a date for our "walk-thru". :) April 10th. Then if all goes well, we could possibly have the keys to our new casa on April 11th. Snooky Great! We were reflecting on this today and thinking back to when it all began, and it is so hard to remember when it was just a dirt lot! But we feel extremely blessed by God to have such a wonderful home.

First week of April = Done!

The first coat of stucco is on, and you can't see it in this picture, but the front door is up and we are locked out! Mcmillin doesn't let you inside during the final weeks, but we peeked in the windows to see our cabinets and floors. Almost done!!

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!
