We have a daughter!


The ultrasound confirmed yesterday that our newest family member is a GIRL. She is a stunning little treasure <3



Girl

You have always been precious
to us.
A lyrical sound, a spark of golden light,
a treasure we plucked from 
God's outstretched hand.
To me, your existence is a mystery,
near and far,
illuminated and shrouded,
like meeting a stranger you already know.
Like your mama you will be a girl for a long time,
and then a woman. 
Will you bear your own children
someday?
Will the air deliver lullabies to them
from your own mouth?
The world holds so much new
for you
and it will desire your love,
a love that is already spoken for. 
But you'll see beyond the world
to things unimagined.
In my head you smile beneath bouncy curls.
Wisps of your defiant mane flow outward into thin air,
catching the Sun's beams 
for treasures of your own. 

He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure. Isaiah 33:6
