Welcome to our PARTY!!

Welcome to the Mayulianos Family Blog!  I hope you enjoy reading about our everday life,and getting updates on whats going on in our world. Right now,we are in the mddle of an amazing time for our family. Mike, my husband, got back in December from a Deployment in Iraq. We are so happy to have him home safe. The Lord has TRULY blessed me with the best friend I could have ever wanted. Many know our story and our struggles, but we are witness to the healing power of our Lord , when we lay down our own will and followHis! We are coming upon our first wedding anniversary, and I am thankful with all my heart that we have lived to see it!

Now for the rest of our gang.Max, who is 3 years old, is the best big brother EVER! He is a little rough around the edges, but we wouldnt have hm any other way! Max became a big brother for the first time this past November. Along with that change, he also started preschool 3 days a week. He seems to love it, and so does mommy. I enjoy the quiet mornings and it also allows me to be more productive since i dont have to entertain him. He is a sweet boy at heart, but the 3rd year of  his life hasnt been the easiet for him. We are learning to understand our temper, and WHY God really gave us ears...the tantrums were getting ridiculous. He is a nerdy nature kid when outside, which has really surprised Mike and I. He lovesa to learn about flowers and bugs, where trees come from, and digging up worms. He loves puddles, and riding his bike, which he just learned to pedal on as he out grew it ...KIDS! He has a great interest in Thomas the tank Engine...which inferiates me b/c I can NOT stand it. It teaches a good lesson but if i have to listen to that theme song one more time, im going to pull my hair out. We have limited TV time to one hour a day...if he is on his best behavior! He challenges us everyday in the patience department , but I know that God will never give me more than I can handle, so I am learning patience through Max..what a blessing!!

Our newest addition is ISABELLA NAOMI. She was born the day before thanksgiving, we are sooooo thankful for her! She weighed in at 8lbs 1oz, and had some trouble in the beginning gaining weight, but now is about 12.5lbs and growing like a weed. She has a great mix of both mike and I , although I see much more of mike and his sister ,Christina, than I do of me. She started smiling and talking back at you this past week, and it just reminds me of the true miracle of life. I cant wait to have more, but for now we are enjoying Bella where she is!

Just a bit of insight and introduction into our world! thanks for reading, and hope to continue keeping everyone updated on whats going on! Next up, Bella's Baptism, Homeschooling, and my new hobby...Sewing!!
