Still me...Auntie Sarah
Hello!
So everyone is at home! Mommy, Daddy and Amelia (a (short a)-ma-lee-a are home. The dogs have been introduced, the nursery is no longer just a project, but the room for a precious treasure. The rocking chair provides comfort and purpose as mommy feeds baby. The monitor now remains on and little coos and whimperings may be heard. The clothes are washed and now pink and purple onesies adorn the closet. Life has changed in the Hadj home. It has always been a place where family and friends have gathered. Jenny and Straty have nourished us, entertained us, sheltered us, and welcomed us in to their cozy home. But when I walked in today something was different. I was still greeted by 3 eager dogs, the yummy smell of candles still filled the air, Valentines hearts were hung to symbolize another holiday that is approaching. So many things were the same, yet something was different.
This home now held a different meaning. My mind began to envision all the celebrations to come. A home that has already held so many rituals and traditions will now be the place of so many firsts. Amelia's first Valentine's Day, Amelia's first Easter, Jenny's first Mother's Day, Straty's first Father's Day. Soon it will be a place where her birthdays are celebrated, her steps are taken and her words spoken,
i am in awe of the beauty of the moments shared and completely inspired by the moments to come.
Lord, please bless the Hadj home and all who dwell in it. May it be filled with love, laughter and happiness. Keep everyone healthy and growing strong in health and in You, dear Lord. Thank you for a beautiful blessing that reminds us how amazing your works are and how intricately you have design your children. May we love well and forever embrace the gifts you have given us. Amen!
Following are some photos from Jenny McMasters, the photographer that was present with us on Amelia's birthday. She just wanted us to be able to share a few of her favorites with you! Enjoy!
