The Worleys

Okay, it is official that I am way behind in posting.  And there has been a lot of things that have happened since my last posting!  So we will begin with the most important post to date:  Miss Abby Jen! Miss Abby Jen Rebolledo was born on June 27, 2013.  Isn't she lovely?  Jenni labored a long time, and then it seemed like the little girl just popped out!  Her eyes were wide open when she was born.  I don't have that picture, but ask Rod to see it.  It is amazing! First picture of the new little family.  I know you cannot see it, but Abby's little hat has her name on it!  This is how we learned her name.  From the hat.  And a beautiful name on a beautiful hat on a beautiful little head of a beautiful little newborn! Brand new baby, all swadled up.  Eyes still gooey from the ointment they put in them.  Just sleeping peacefully. Little girl all dressed up to go home.  She looks so tiny!  She was over 7 lbs though! Mommy and daughter having a talk

Jenni has been very busy since February.  She has finished school finally!  I'm going to start with a couple of pictures of Jenni through the last part of her pregnancy.  The first one you can easily tell how far along she is ..... she labeled them for us! This one is at 38 weeks.  Just 2 weeks ago.  Hard to believe! And just for the record, here is a 3D sonogram of the little girl at 28 weeks. My favorite of all the pictures, because she is smiling! Jenni graduated May 18, with a Master's Degree in Physician Assistant Studies from the University of North Texas Health Science Center.  There was a lovely Hooding Ceremony for just her Physician Assistant School that morning that we attended first.  Here she is heading to the podium to have her Hood placed on. And here's the happy couple!  I'm sure Rod is just as happy as Jenni that school is over!! And a happy family picture.  Sarah and the kids did not join us until later. From h

I must catch up!  Life has been busy the last few months!  Time for another birthday update -- in fact, it is WAY past time for another birthday update!  Sarah and Jay added a new grandson to our family on March 3!  Their children are always so obliging with the convenience of their birthday...they have all been born on a weekend.  Below the last picture of Sarah and Jay's family of 4.  Well, really, it is a picture of a family of 5, but you just can't see Miles!  Sarah and Jay were on the way to the hospital.  Ava and Eli were coming with us to have fun while we waited for Miles to make his appearance.  Sarah looks fabulous, doesn't she? NOW, let me introduce MILES REALE WORLEY!  He was born by c-section, so he has a perfectly shaped head to go along with all the rest of his perfection.    We did not get to meet him until the morning after his birth.  He had to spend a little time in the NICU to watch his breathing.  Not too long, though.  It seems he wan

I am woefully behind in recording the adventures of the Worley family.  And there have been lots of things going on!  I guess I am just not a good journaler (is that a word?), I am too busy living my life to record it! Rod's birthday is February 8.  This year was a very special birthday, complete with party, friends, and of course, a gorgeous, delicious cake made by our friend Edwina.  But before I get into the birthday party, I need to give you a little information about what led up to the party. For us, it all started on November 17, 2012.  Our family, and my sister's family, all got together for Thanksgiving.  It was also Mike's birthday.  So after dinner, Mike opened his cards.  When he gets to this one, Jenni tells me I need to open it with him.  I had quite forgotten that Jenni had not given me a birthday card, so this was a surprise.  Just the first surprise. Mike opens the card.  This is the front of the card (and I have not lost this card!): We opened th

Okay, I am now finished posting about Paris!  But while I was trying to blog about Paris, I missed blogging about several things going on at the time.  So I guess it is now time to play "Catch Up"! While we were in Paris, we missed one event -- Ava broke her arm on September 16.  Apparently she was literally bouncing on her bed using her bouncing ball.  Of course the little monkey fell off, but broke her arm instead of her head -- thank goodness!  I don't even remember how long she spent in a cast, because it seemed to go by so quickly.  She definitely adapted well during this time. Next came Ava's birthday, an Ariel themed event.  Ariel made an appearance, too! This year she had cupcakes specially made by her mommy!  Lots of presents, and of course the annual Piñata!  And she got to have a lovely cast for all those activities.  Did. Not. Slow. Her. Down! And I think this was Eli's first time to try the Piñata.  Looks like his Dad gav
