Welcome Joel Thomas Ernesto Arzaga

Big brother, Jacob Arzaga and his canine siblings, Paddington and Tyler would like to finally announce the arrival of their new baby brother, Joel Thomas Ernesto Arzaga. He is a happy and healthy baby. Mommy, Jacob, Paddi and Tyler are all doing fine. Yeah, daddy too.

We would like to thank everyone who kept us in their thoughts and prayers. We are grateful to all the well-wishers who’ve dropped by for the gifts to both Joey and Jakey and for the hot and yummy meals. Your kind hearts and generosity helped us tremendously during the first weeks of Joey’s life.

Finally, a BIG thank you to Jake and Joey's grandma Kappa, who spent every night of the last week of Trina’s pregnancy in case J-Day arrived early, for enduring the breakfast incident at McDonald's while babysitting Jacob and for answering all of Trina’s beckoning call at the hospital. We couldn’t have survive the weekend without you.

Our apologies for the delay in sending the pictures...so many diapers and feedings, so…little…sleep. Here they are as promised.

Take care always,
Ernesto Arzaga, Jr., Trina Arzaga,
Jacob Arzaga, Joel Arzaga,
Paddington and Tyler too!

"Midnight moonlight shining through the curtain lace
Paints a perfect picture on your perfect face
One sweet angel sleeping in my arms
You are the promise I knew God would keep
You are the gift that makes my world complete

And you'll never know how much I love you
But I'll keep on telling you my whole life through
Now I believe in miracles, and you're the reason why
So dream on while I sing you my angel's lullaby"
Reba McEntire
