About Me

About this blog!

I, (Danella) started this blog for our family! I think 99% of the time I would be the one blogging. This blogging world is new to me; I have been wanting to share this new stage of our lives with our friends and family! We love you all and welcome to our blog :]

A son's love

**by Samantha Richter ** Tiny hands, tiny feet. I've waited so long for us to meet. Who could've known a love so true. Innocent and perfect, you're safe within my arms. I'll watch over and protect you, I'll keep you safe from harm with mischief in your smile and wonder in your eyes. Watching you as you sleep, feeling every sigh, I could look at you for hours, and always be content. you became my living angel; when you were heaven sent. just the thought of you, makes my world seem full... you are my life, my love, my son: my precious Lucas

I Am Not Alone

( Author: Unknown ) Running errands and talking on the phone, I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone. Little tiny hands, a precious rounded knee, pushing and twisting that no one can see. Oh sweet child kicking up your heels, it is our little secret that only I can feel. I look forward to your birth, when I can kiss your skin, but for now I will just smile, as I feel you play within.

New year!

HAPPY 2013!!
Andrew's sister, Melanie, came from Boston to Utah for a few days before heading off to Idaho for school.  It was nice to go out dancing with our siblings on New Years!! We went down to Provo and had a lot of fun.  We even took a bottle of sparkling cider to celebrate the countdown.  We just forgot to take an opener!!! Just 2 minutes before midnight, Wilo and Andrew had to rush out to find something to open the bottle.  Melanie, Estela and I were anxiously waiting because the DJ started the countdown and we thought Andrew and Wilo weren't going to make it.
10! 9! 8! 7! -- Wilo and Andrew came running and there was time to hug and celebrate!! :)




Baby, Andrew and I

I love Christmas time!! It means family time, relaxing days and GOOD FOOD! We spent this Christmas at our place. Wilo and Estela came from Provo.  My uncle Orlando came from Kaysville.  We had a good time. I am glad we have family in Utah! Our families are in Boston and Peru and it is hard to get together on the holidays.

This year my siblings, uncle, Andrew and I gave each other gifts.  Also, we played Secret Santa with Andrew's siblings.  We had a lot of gifts! It was very exciting!
Oh Christmas tree!

Paneton!!!

Andrew cooked everything.  I love him!

Gifts for baby!!


Wow... opening more gifts for baby from grandma :)

Probably one of my favorite gifts!! Andrew has a guayabera  like this one!
He is excited to wear this with our son :)
I can't believe next year Andrew and I will have our baby boy in our arms for Christmas.  The thought of it makes me smile and get anxious to meet my little baby.
I am grateful to have a family. I have the husband I always dreamed of, I have great parents who raised me to be the woman I am today; and awesome parents-in-law.  I am happy I can say my relationship with them is amazing!!!
This Christmas, I am also thankful for the sacrifice that our Savior did for us. There is no other way of going back to our Heavenly Father's presence. He died for us.  I feel I need to look for better ways to show Him how much I appreciate this gift.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Baby shower time!



Andrew, Estela and Alyson organized a baby shower for me a few weeks ago.  I am grateful for what they did! Estela and Alyson made awesome food for the party and Andrew made an excellent chocolate angel food cake.  It was amazing. 
I had so much fun watching everybody play the games.  I am so thankful for those who came to the baby shower especially those who traveled from far.
Andrew and I had so much fun after the baby shower; we opened all the presents and imagined ourselves with our little one.  Baby clothes and baby accessories are simply so cute. I hope this baby feels the love his parents and friends have towards him. 
Here are some pictures of the baby shower:


Andrew's aunt came from Idaho for the baby shower! She was Andrew's partner for some games :)
