gentle joy.

when i took this picture today, i immediately thought of amy. happy. smiley. contagious laughter. beautiful.

we certainly hope that ella takes after her aunt amy with so many of those wonderful attributes. anyone who is around amy will agree. she envigorates you with her upbeat, joyful attitude.

ella was all smiles today! she is one amazing little trooper considering that she got her shots this morning. she amazes me with her gentle spirit. i can feel it when i am close to her. she radiates a peace and calmness that i so need when i get wrapped up in my own anxieties. i’m so glad i took notes of her blessing. jeff mentioned her kindness and gentleness. it is amazing that i can see it in her already.

joy in our posterity. that’s a happiness that has no equal.
