Meet Miss Rebolledo

Miss Rebolledo was due on October 9.  We seriously were not expecting her before then.  We got back from vacation on September 21.  Jenni came home on the 25th from the Drs. office with an "any day now" prognosis.  We still did not believe.  But, like good Grandparents, we had our "Go Bags" ready in case indeed she came early.  Oh, by the way, we did not know the name at this point, so we called her Baby Lucy (after Lucy Ricardo).

The plan if Lucy came at night:  when we got "the call", grab the bags, head to Jenni's, and go back to bed.  If we got "the call" during the day, pick up Abby and head back to our house.

So, at 0400 on September 30, we got "THE CALL"!  Jenni had been having contractions, minor ones, the evening before, so we weren't too surprised.  And yet we were!  And So Excited!  All we grabbed was the iPads, the chargers, and headed over.  Abby slept through it all, including the dog barking when we got there.

Our plan:  sleep until Abby woke up.  We were too excited to sleep, but we caught a few winks.  Abby wasn't up before 10.  We fed her breakfast, and waited.  And. Waited.  Reports from Rod indicated things were moving along quickly.  We had reports that Ava Worley was so excited she was getting a cousin for her birthday!

1159, Miss Rebolledo was born.  We got a picture pretty quickly.  Already cute.


And a picture of Jenni and the baby that was oh, so beautiful!


We had to wait until we got to the hospital to find out the baby's name.  Seriously, they made us wait!
It was so good to meet Miss Keely Sofia Rebolledo!  This is Abby on her way to meet her sister!
Abby:  What's a sister?


Abby meets her sister.  She is very curious.  But everyone survives.


We are not great photographers.  Everyone was busy passing the baby around, or entertaining Miss Abby.  Jenni and Rod probably took a ton of pictures, but I did not.  We kept Abby for two nights.  She proved to be very cooperative.  She slept all night both nights.  Grammy did not.  I slept in the guest room because I was afraid I would not hear her cry across the house in my room.  Abby had a lot of fun with Grammy and Pop.


Finally Miss Keely came home.  Wearing the same dress her sister wore on her ride home.  
Starting a Rebolledo family tradition.
Isn't she beautiful?!

Three gorgeous Rebolledo girls!


First picture of the new family at home:


Miss Keely has settled right in, ruling the household!  She snoozes, and eats, and is pretty quiet.  Abby is still her normal busy self.  Loves to share things with her sister.  And she lets all of us hold her as much as we want!

they are a reward from Him."

"Now Somewhere in the Black Mining Hills of Dakota....

...lived a young man named Rocky Raccoon."  I always thought that song said "South" Dakota.  Are there Black Hills in both Dakotas?  I'm sure I don't know and am not really going to take the time to find out, no matter how easy it is with Google, Bing, etc. After Cabin Time, This set of Worleys, young and old, headed for those Black Hills.  We were going to see Mount Rushmore.  In South Dakota.  And to see anything else that struck our fancy.  So we struck out in our trusty Jeep and Mini-van, loaded with kids and snacks.  On July 30.  We saw lots of motorcycles as we went.  Lots. Of. Motorcycles!  Come to find out, it was the start of the annual Sturgis Rally.  In Sturgis, SD.  If you do not know what that is, feel free to Google it! Our must stop place was Wall Drug Store.  In Wall, South Dakota.  We stopped, we ate, we shopped around.  It is a lovely place to spend a lot of time walking around. ...

THE WEDDING!

Image
The Wedding -- the only one we will ever host! Why didn't we have more girls? This was fun! Above, of course, Dad dancing with Bride Jenni. They had fun, didn't they? But of course, this was the reception, we are supposed to have fun! The week before the wedding was a whirlwind of last minute activities. We had guests from Chile at our house -- Kani - Rod's friend from childhood, and Cristian -- Rod's brother. We also had Lindsey -- Jenni's bridesmaid and friend of Rod from Chile. We worked on wedding stuff and ate way too much! Decorating the church was actually easy -- we had lots of help. We decorated on Wednesday evening. On Thursday, we finished up by adding trees to the auditorium. And, dumb old me, I have absolutely no pictures of it! I can only hope our photographer took some! Table Decorations at Rehearsal dinner -- Cute! Friday night -- rehearsal dinner. Wow! The Rehearsal went great. Decorations -- provided by my sister and our friend Sue T...

On Being Alone

Image
Sadie, in her "The Water Bowl is Empty" pose. I have spent the whole day alone! Well, Sadie and Belle are here, too. My goal was to sleep late, catch up on laundry, and read through March 4th in the Chronological Bible. I am happy to report, I have met all those goals! I felt a little bit like Mary or Martha today, depending on my activity. I would work some, read the Bible some, eat and drink something along the way. There was some praying occasionally, too. I have been in the book of Numbers today. One of my favorite hymns comes from this chapter six of this book (I am still trying to learn the alto part!): 22 Then the L ord said to Moses, 23 "Instruct Aaron and his sons to bless the people of Israel with this special blessing: 24 'May the L ord bless you and protect you. 25 May the L ord smile on you and be gracious to you. 26 May the L ord show you his favor and give you his peace.' Of course, one of our greatest blessings is Ava. She is getti...
