our first arrow

"Children are a heritage from the LORD, 

they are a reward from Him.  

Like arrows in the hands of a warrior 

are children born in one's youth.  

Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them." 

--Psalm 127 : 3 - 5

In this post, enjoy some of the different outfits Daphné has been given; she is our first arrow.

We are so thankful how God provides each detail, even tiny socks.

This outfit is a personal favorite.

So cute.

Thanks Papi Pierre for the cool shades.

And here's our little Gap girl.

Polka dots !

She loves her Daddy.

S is for Seattle - you can guess where this came from.

Little jean dress.

Purple flower onesie.

Ready to go to Tata Cricri's and Tonton Robinou's.

The headband eliminates the question, "girl or boy?"

Pretty in pink.

Hands always moving.

We found her in the morning like this... scooted down.

Apples and Pears dress.

Ready for church.

Slobber.

Sophie.

Babysitters.

Winnie the Pooh dress.

Arms never stop.

Just look at that face.

I prayed for a joyful baby with a fun personality.

God answered that prayer.

Even when she's like this...

...or like this, she is still full of joy.

Especially when Papi comes over to play.

We praise God for the miracle of this little life entrusted to us !

Love Linz

B for Blessing

Blessings this week !

Bookstore : I really enjoying choosing books for our window display at the Christian bookstore.  In July, Tonio made the sign for the top photo "Think About Reading This Summer."  Thanks again my love.  I just changed it this week.


Botany : I found this poor thing down by the trash cans in a heap of dirt next to a broken pot.  Well, now it has a new home =).  [Julie, recognize the quilt? =)]

Bomb : We I call it the baby bomb.  Thanks again to everyone in the states who blessed our socks off with baby stuff.  Now, finding a place to put it all...

Belly : This is me today actually.  Had another ultrasound and doc appt. at the hospital this week.  All looks good.  21 weeks pregnant, baby is 26cm long and weighs about 400g.  Pomegranate.


Beauty : A guy at church works at the airport in the cleaning department.  He always finds "treasures" left behind.  He gave me this cream on Sunday in an unopened box.  I looked it up online out of curiosity... dang, I'm using 52 bucks worth of face cream at night !  I wish it would last forever.

Beautiful : This week, we received 2 wedding thank yous in the mail.  We couldn't make the first wedding, Elisa and Harry's, but they thanked us for the card we sent.  And the second, you might remember from THIS POST that we were quite involved in Maëva and Thomas' wedding.

Books : Free stuff from the hospital !  Good thing I can read French... haha.  I must admit it's a bit scary thinking about delivering a baby far from my family and the familiarity of the states, but it's almost easier...  I just kind of go with the flow here.  France loves babies, and they are taking such great care of the 3 of us.
