Maia Elizabeth Joseph

So, we've finally decided on a name and spelling. We've liked the name for a while, but right after she was born we started second guessing ourselves and wondering if we hadn't put enough thought into her name and just settled on something without thinking of other names. Anyway, we stuck with our first choice, but decided to spell it a bit differently: Maia Elizabeth Joseph. We were going to spell it Maya, but for some reason, it just seems to "fit" her better spelled with an "i".Mommy checking baby's feetsies

Beautiful, Big Eyes!!
We're so happy little Maia is here with us now, and two weeks early! She's such a blessing. She's only 2 days old, but already we both feel so much love for her. It's an indescribable feeling to look at this beautiful little baby and know that she's ours.

She's Here!!

Maya decided to come 2 weeks early and got here around 9:20 last night. She weighed 8lbs 9oz and was 21" long.

St. George Trip

With the semester being over and the baby about to be here we decided to take a short trip down to St. George. It was a fun little get-away and was pretty relaxing.
We played some golf (Matt got a new driver and 52 degree wedge for his birthday and was eager to test them out), visited the dinosaur tracks museum, went to the new St. George parkand just layed around the pool for a couple of days. On the drive home we stopped at some of the small towns along the way and did some sight-seeing. Matt thought that would be fun. We stopped by one of the old cemeteries along the way and looked at some of the headstones from pioneers. It was pretty interesting.
It was a fun trip and the perfect beginning to the summer. Who knows when we'll be able to get away again. Maya will be here in a few weeks, so it might be a while before we can take another trip.
