Happy Birthday

Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. (3 John 1:2)

In God's perfect timing, she made her grand entrance in this world with a bang! Only born 2 days before her "due date," she waited until Mother's Day to give me the best present ever. Since I work in accounting I always have numbers on my mind... I think it's so cool that she was born on 05.10 at 10:50. 510 is also the area code where she lives... Naomi is a true East Bay girl :)

*Side note regarding numbers: Naomi is the third baby to be born to the Dimalanta family since the start of the new year. Craig and Cathy's babyboy Weslee was born on 02.04; Leia and Anthony's babygirl Arabella was born on 03.09; Naomi was born on 05.10. I might just be a nerd, but isn't that cool how the day is a derivitive of the month? So easy to remember! Thanks be to GOD!*



Lots of visitors at the hospital. Uncle Marc was the first to visit us, fresh off a flight from the East Coast; we hadn't even left the labor and delivery room yet. He brought us gorgeous Orchids, roses, yummy turkey wraps and spam sandwhiches :) The rest of the Arapeles Fam came by minus her cousins Andrea (3) and Meleia (5 mos.) since they were recovering from the sniffles. The Dimalanta Clan paid a visit and Naomi got to meet all her boy cousins: Dean (7), Joshua (4), Owen (2) and Weslee (3 mos.) They brought us beautiful tulips and fried chicken. Auntie Melissa was driving through the neighborhood and said hello. Grandma Tess and Grandpa Oscar wanted to see the new arrival as well. Our final visitor at Alta Bates was Auntie Elisa and she showered Naomi with lots of cute summertime clothes and accessories!
