We are not humble when it comes to our little baby girl. She is cute and we know it. We are super proud of her for simple things like finding her thumb to suck on, saying "ah-goo", and smiling at our jokes. We are, however, acutely aware that we could never create someone so adorable, nor do we deserve to, without the grace of God. This little gift named Lydia keeps us looking to our Lord as our gracious Father. So, I suppose in this way, we are driven to humility and thankfulness for His generosity.
This past week Lydia had her share of visitors. On Easter Sunday, we had several people up to our house for a cookout. No, it wasn't the traditional ham but it was too beautiful outside not to take advantage of Brian's new grill (an early birthday present). Our friends from SC, Rachel and DJ, were here to celebrate Easter with us as well as Chris, Michelle and Kelsie from church. We ate grilled kabobs, lemon meringue pie, and played games...intermittently fawning over Lydia of course.
The following day, the Kazee family came to visit (Uncle Duane, Aunt MaryBeth, and cousins Karen, Patrick and Meghan). They stayed the night and we all took a trip to Stone Mountain Park on Tuesday. We rode the train, sky-ride to the top, and just enjoyed the beautiful weather. Patrick loved holding Lydia and his sisters perfected the art of just the right amount of bouncing to ease fussiness!
Wednesday she must have been tired out because I have never seen her sleep that much! We hope we get to continue sharing our little girl with our friends and family...and the sleepy-baby is not a bad side effect!
