So It wasn't the day

SO, I guess you have all figured out that, that day was NOT the DAY. Washington has decided that we are staying in Mexico, but actually we are sure it wasn't washington at all, but that funny God in heaven. He's a kidder you know. But we are peaceful and happy and much wonderfulness has rained into our lives since. For example I went to Utah and brought home this little lump of sugar.
HYRUM TITUS MORA
was born March 3 2003, weighed 9 lbs
and has been the best experience that I have EVER had with a newborn.
I am loving this kid and eating up every minute with him.
Maybe it is because we are so much more stable than we were during the first years of Eva and Sam's life, but this kids has cast a spell on his mommy that is truly a blessing.


Justino has been called to serve in the stake presidency as the first couselor and his willingness to serve has brought a new peace to our home that I am grateful for. I was happy to be released as the stake primary president, since the only thing I really want to do is nurse Hyrum... and am also glad that they called me to be in charge of the music in the primary for the stake. That means I get to travel with Justino and sing with the kids, ( and let's be real, that' s the only thing I was really good at anyway!)

I am settled down for the long haul on our Mexican Adventure. We are finally sure that we are here to stay for a long time, if not forever... We are happy and grateful and all together and That's all that matters.

Congratulations my friend! What a doll! I am so glad that you are happy and at peace. I am a little bummed that you aren't coming home, cuz I would love to meet your beautiful family! So, if you ever have a moment during a visit give me a holler. Good Luck on your adventure. Love, Becky

I miss that baby!!! I can’t believe how much he has grown since you left! All of your children are beautiful! Let’s get real!!!! You have many talents!!! Singing is not your only talent!!! I am glad that you have been released and have a calling that will allow you more time with your husband and children.

Take good care of yourself and know, know, know, that you are loved!!!

He is so dang cute!!!! While it's SUPER lame how the government handled the whole thing, I am glad that you have an answer and are no longer in limbo…that's the worst. I think you are amazing, and am so happy that you are all together and happy! Love, Heidi

Brook,
I'm glad you are loving nursing Hyrum and that you are loving being a mom and a wife and enjoying Mexico. Donny's wondering what you are feeding that boy!

Oh Brook. You have a strength that I admire and love. You amaze me. And that baby Titus is so freaking darling it makes me want to squeeze something. Your post made me cry. I love you.

You DESERVE an easy angel 3rd child. Congratulations! I'm so glad you are loving that adorable baby! I still don't like to hear you say "forever" because I haven't accepted THAT yet, but glad that you are happy where you are, and can join you in that, with still hope for a different future someday. Enjoy!
