Pan de Vida has a new member of the family! Justo and Elia are the proud parents of a daughter. For those of you who do not know, Justo is the son of the directors Dario and Elena. He is married to the daughter of the Pastor of Santa Rosa church. Justo is our Pastor, leader of worship, teacher and administrator in the school among many other things. Elia is his devoted wife and works with the youth group and teaches at the school.
The baby's name is Elia Daniella Hilbrands Medina and will be called Daniella/Dani. She was born June 11th and weighed about 6 lbs. Thankfully Elia had to have a cesarean because the umbilical cord was around Daniella's neck 3 times and with the complications, Elia had to have hysterectomy. They can't have anymore children but feel very blessed with the 2 they have plus the 140 other kids here at Pan de Vida.
I haven't had a chance to get any family photos. Elia was at her parents the 1st week for recovery but as she got home, I was able to get a couple of pictures of the baby and of course she was sleeping. Luca is both loving and a bit jealous. For sure Justo and Elia have their hands full. The kids here are all excited about the baby but the visits have to be few and far between in the beginning.
Here are a couple of pictures and a recent one of Luca being the typical 2 year old. As soon as I get opportunity, I will post a family photo.
