Janey Heathman and family

Newsflash: Janey Heathman has arrived home.
Loving parents, Julie and Joseph, are thrilled with her arrival,
adjusting well, and looking forward to an eternity together.

Julie and Joe are Parents!!

And here She is!

A beautiful, healthy 7 lb 1oz baby girl, Janey Heathman, was born to Julie and Joe at 9:50am on Saturday, June 28th, 10 days early. Everyone is doing well and they went home today. Julie is a trooper and according to Joe was "amazing". More to follow.

Look at that wonderful hair!!

Grandma and Janey are doing fine. Julie's a little tired.


We are finishing packing for our move tomorrow. I'm so glad she came early since we are planning on being at Lake Powell on her due date. The Lord takes care of the details if we just ask, and I didn't have the heart to ask that she come a week late.

Seems like forever since I wrote - so here's a catch up. Sorry - no pictures - for some reason my computer is not reading my memory card and I haven't had time to look for the cable.

We have been VERY busy making all the last minute decisions for the house. I think if it was just one person making the decisions it would go faster, but with two, and then we brought in a designer for some suggestions - it takes a while. We've driven all over San Diego looking at things - some decisions we are very pleased with, others we would have done differently. But it's all good.

We will move in by the end of June, ready or not (hopefully ready). Most of it should be done. The oil prices are affecting more then gas - when we got the bids for the construction loan in Sept 07, the cost of the asphalt driveway was going to be $8,000.00. This week, 8 months later, it has gone up to $20,000.00!!! for the driveway!! it has to be asphalt or concrete for fire regulations. Ugh!! There went my front loading washer and dryer, my new living room and bedroom furniture!! The prices all seem to be HIGH!

Although I try to keep a decent journal (monthly) I've started a new one just for daily miracles. If you look for them, every day several miracles occur. I found my car keys in an obvious place after searching at least three times, the upstairs, the downstairs, the car, then saying a prayer. Why didn't I just start with the prayer?

I take raw almonds to the Temple to put in a small bowl for the Sisters to snack on. But I was out and hadn’t gotten to the store to get more. I was prepared to apologize numerous times as Sisters came in for their “almond fix”. At 5:30am, as I was preparing to leave for the Temple, I looked in a cupboard that I don't usually look in until dinner, and there was a baggy of almonds that I hadn't seen before! just enough for the day!

By focusing on miracles, I recognize blessings, I see the Lord's hand in my life more, which makes me more grateful, which gives me more faith (trust) that He knows me and loves me and will provide for me. What a great feeling when the media focuses on so much negativity. It can change your life.
