Welcome home Baby Mila!!!



 Camila David Peña, born October 30, 2012 in Indianapolis, IN, 8lbs, 13oz and 21 3/4 inches long!!

Camila gets her name from my paternal grandmother David Contreras Diaz, I wish I had a picture of my grandmother to include, I'll have to look for one and add it later!  My grandmother was such a sweet soul, she was, as I like to say, a saint among sinners!! She was always kind and loving...I can still feel her wet kisses!!  She loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and she made efforts to get to know all of us!! She was a woman of God, she was humble and I know that I have felt my grandmother with me through some of my most challenging experiences!

We are so proud to give Camila such a valuable name!  We hope that she too will come to know her great grandmother and be proud to carry her name!




Camila is so sweet and she has brought so much joy into our home!

I can tell you that Jose, Vandro and I have truly enjoyed having her home, she brings happiness and HoPE into our home.  These last 5 months have been difficult, some days we are fine, some days it feels so hard to make it through the day.  The pain of missing Eva can still feel as though she was taken from us yesterday!


 Camila brings Eva's spirit into our home, I can see Eva in her eyes and in her smile!  It is so amazing to know that Camila was just with Eva before she crossed the veil to this world and into our family!  I know Eva spoke about us, I know she counseled Mila on how to care for us.

We are so grateful for Camila and for the her timing!  Just when we thought our hearts could not break anymore, she came into our lives as if to rescue us from heartbreak!
We will always miss Eva...but these children remind us of the future of our growing family and how they all are an extension of Jose and I, of Eva!
WELCOME HOME CAMILA!!!!!!!
