ARIZONA

Well, we're here!!!!!!!!!!!! Joe got here to Luke AFB on Friday. My mom, Calvin, and I arrived Saturday. We spent the whole weekend unpacking and cleaning. Thanks mom for all of your help. Now, were are just about moved in. I love my little place. Two bedrooms, one bathroom. But so cute. It is so nice to finally be a family again. Already we have had a few of Joe's friends over and the Relief Society from our new ward made us dinner. It is definitely H-O-T HOT here. But I have to admit, it doesn't feel all that bad. Granted, I stay inside most of the time with my baby boy, but when I do venture out, it's not that horrible. I guess it's because it is so dry. For example, today I went out to our back patio where we threw all of the empty moving boxes. I went to go take them apart and it was a whopping 99 degrees. But, it was totally bareable. That is a pleasant surprise to adjusting to life in the desert. I miss everyone so much, but I am so excited to be here. So far so good. I will post pictures later. Right now we have to use the internet at the library because our computer is out of service for the time being. So, my posts might not be as frequent (not like they ever were). Miss everyone back in Cali.

MOVING....

Well, everyone, it looks like this is the weekend. We are officially moving to Arizona. It happened all so fast it is almost unreal. It is a pretty long story as to why we are moving on such short notice, but basically it is now or never. So, I will keep you all updated on the move. Joe is coming on Tuesday I think. Then he will leave Thursday. My mom and I will probably leave either Friday or Saturday. WOW!!! Wish me luck everyone.

OH, CALVIN

I love my little Calvin. He is so precious to me. But, I have to admit, he is not the most photogenic baby. Well, not yet anyways. Here are a few of my favorites.....

By the way, we had our 2 week check up today. He has gained over 1 1/2 pounds and moved from the 50th percentile to the 75th. Yay baby boy!!!!

Here are more pictures of Calvin.

Calvin with his GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER, MYRTLE

He's so cute. I love all of his little expressions he makes!

CALVIN EDWARD MARTIN ARCHULETA

Calvin was born on April 27, 2009. I went into labor around 6:30 pm on Sunday and he was born at 11:20 am on Monday. He was 8 pounds 4 ounces and 20 inches long. My labor went pretty well. It progressed quickly once I was admitted to the hospital. Then the poor little guy was having some troubles, so after an hour or so of pushing, I was wheeled into the O R to get ready for a C-section. But, little Calvin and I endured and we made it without the operation. It was love at first sight. He is beautiful and perfect. A week overdue with peeling skin, I couldn't believe I was finally holding my son. He has changed so much already and more pictures are coming soon.
