Sweet Baby Giana!

8 weeks old already!
Sweet baby smiles.... ;)

Giana has a pretty cute sister too! ;) Nevaeh being silly in a hat that is way too big!

15 days old

We went to OR to visit my family & introduce Giana to everyone!

Jose went to Nicaragua on a mission trip again this year. And while he was gone, the rest of us went & stayed at my parent's house. Almost the whole family came, at one point or another, so they got to meet Giana. We had a great time (except that I got mastitis & was really sick)! Above, Papa is giving the kids rides in the trailer.

Giana's first smile caught on camera at 4 weeks old!

Hanging with cousins at bedtime. Rachel's boys, Torin, Kaleb, & Levi.

Nico getting aquainted with his new cousin, Olive (Gina's little girl).

Welcoming Giana Mireya Rijo-Berger to our family on July 15th, 2009!

Sisterly loves! ;)
We have THREE sweet kids now! What a blessing!

The kids were SO excited when we brought Giana home from the hospital!

The kids meeting Giana for the first time in the hospital.

Nico (5) and Nevaeh's (2) Birthday party!!

Aunt Rachel was here to help & celebrate with us!
Lots of friends! We were happy to have nice weather & could have it in our back yard!

The great "Under the Sea" cake that Aunt Rachel made! Nico got to blow the candles out & Nevaeh got to lick the frosting off of the candles!

I was very pregnant! - 5 weeks to go!

Sweet birthday girl... 5 days after surgery!

Shaving with Daddo! ;) Nevaeh, not to be left out, got to have a little shaving cream on her nose!

The day after surgery in June - another lip revision. I'm not sure what Nico is doing in the background! ;)
