Our new home Part 1



Backyard
There is a bridge and creek down there but I had to keep an eye on fat fat so i couldn't get too close to the water.







We painted the walls in David and Carmens room mint green. It's really pretty.I'll put Carmens side of the room on the next post to keep up the suspense. (Actually I need to take a picture of it.)




Ah yes the carpet from our bedroom. Yuck!!!!!!! Between the carpet and the puke yellow walls I couldn't even sleep at night. But.....






Alas Ryan the super decorater to the rescue. He saved me once again. Doesn't he look hot in that fashion working mask?





Check out those hardwood floors that were hidden under there. We painted those walls a color called green earth.







We hung a new cherry ceiling fan and eventually my parents will give us our free hand me down cherry furniture. It's like winning the lottery.
The house is no mansion but it's big and its ours and I know as long as we are in God's will he will provide.
I'll post the other rooms in a few days. We built two more rooms downstairs, one for Dakota and one for Tara, Jolan, Elaine, Kenia, Lisette and anyone else that wishes to visit the hotel Cepeda. We provide a free continental breakfast consisting of WIC cheese, eggs, milk, and cereal.

Welcome Baby Carmen!!!

Ah yes the long awaited first blog posting I know its not the best but cut me some slack . I'm sleep deprived and I miss all of you terribly!!
Alex truly adores her.

Baby David carefully inspected her touching each little part. it was sooo sweet until..... she cried and he smacked her in the face and I realized he truly thinks she is a toy.






Carmen was born March 27th at 3:09 pm after 14 hours of labor and yet another traumatic epidural experience but God is good and Carmen is perfect. However ,if ever asked if nursing students can come in and watch when you deliver I recommend you limit it to one. Being the kind person that I am I ended up on a table high in the sky with bright lights and about 20 pairs of eyes just expectantly glaring at my girly pride and awaiting the arrival of my princess. Luckily it only took 1 push and she came flying out.
