What is the beautiful chaos happening this year you might ask? Well, in September 2012 we found out we were going to have another addition to our beautiful family. It was something we had been praying and waiting for. It took a lot of self control , and friends reassurance to trust that God would do it in His timing and when He saw we were ready. Bam! It happened just like that too. Since we got pregnant in September, we are due at the end of May. Which is perfect because we are both in the education field and get the summers off so we both get to enjoy this new bundle of joy along with her big sister, Ava. This is a big deal for us because we always have prayed that if we had a baby it would be at a time where we both could work together and see the baby more instead of switching off baby duties while the other goes to work.
We found out in January that we are having another little girl! We can't decide on a name yet. We just want something that is timeless yet a little different. Who knew it would be so hard :) We have a few ideas but still nothing is set in stone I am sure when it is everyone will know.
As for Ava, oh my word, she is the coolest kid right now! She says the funniest things and the wittiest. She has a heart of gold when she is content, but when she's having a rough day its more like a heart of white gold :) No really she has grown to be such a cool kid. she has a loving heart and awesome attitutde and she just wants to be a kid. She doesn't want to be grown or act like the big kids she just wants to be Ava. Thats the best thing I could have asked for. She loves being in church and being around people who love Jesus. I didn't think she could tell the difference but she knows when a person loves Jesus and when they don't. I seriously am overwhelmed at what the Lord has done in this little girls heart. I can't wait to see the plans he has for her either. I'm being a sappy mom but seriously.
Family updates:
We have 2 weddings , 4 babies, and a graduation happening this year ALONE! Crazy right! In August we have 2 weddings, one that Jeremy and I are standing in with the Bible. We feel so honored to be asked to give this to the newly wed couple as they start their journey as a married couple wanting to know the ways of the Lord. The second wedding Ava will be a co-flower girl. She's pretty stoked about the position and I think she's at the right age now she can finally shine as one of those sweet girls walking down the aisle. The summer is full of babies for our family. I am due in May my cousin is due in April and another cousin is due in July. My sister in law , whom PRAISE the LORD is pregnant is due in June. Just a little backgroud information, my SIL was told she could never have a baby on her own ever again due to a condition she had. She would only be able to concieve through invitro. Well look here DOCTOR, we have a DOCTOR of DOCTORS and she and my brother conceieved with OUT invitro and are expecting the bundle of joy in JUNE! BAM! We are so excited for them. She thinks she steals my thunder because she got pregnant with my neice when I had Ava as well but I wouldn't want it any other way. Who cares, I LOVE being pregnant with other ladies. It helps me know I am not alone :)
That's it for now I just wanted to document some things before I forgot. Life is good and God is always good! What a great combination.
much love,
the alderetes
