Lily was game for a special photo shoot. It is such fun to dress up little people when they can't talk back! I had lots of fun dress-up moments with my children and to get another chance is really fun. This little Santa suit was given to Meredith and it fits just right. I would love to see some of your Christmas "shoots".
Isn't it quite amazing to have a child whose arrival you are particularly anticipating arrive during the Christmas season? A couple of excerpts from a church writing especially touched me recently that apply. A child helps us "rescue all that is finest down deep inside of us." "To help another human being reach one's celestial potential is our divine mission." The "ohhs" that come seem to be our first utterance. Maybe they come because words escape us when we are feeling the awe and wonder that come from that deepest place of within us. So Julia, "ohhh" and WELCOME.
