The Good Life: I think it's definitely time for new pictures!!

About Us

Based in Pretoria, South Africa... My name is Loren, I am married to the LOVE of my life and on 08/08/08 we welcomed our first child into this world! Malakai is healthy, he is precious and he is the light of our lives... oh and he has a little something extra (commonly known as Down Syndrome).
On 29/01/2010 we had our second boy - Harlan. We are so excited that Malakai & Harlan will grow together as brothers and friends!
This is our journey into acceptance, love, the understanding that today is our greatest gift, and the celebration of our beautiful, perfect, amazing sons!

Blessed

Blessed are you who take the time to listen to difficult speech:
For you help us to know that if we persevere,
We can be understood.

Blessed are you who walk with us in public places,
And ignore the stares of strangers,
For in your companionship,
We find havens of peace.

Blessed are you who never bid us to "hurry up",
And more blessed are you
Who do not snatch tasks from our hands to do them for us,
For often we need time rather than help.

Blessed are you who stand beside us
As we enter new and untried ventures.
For our failures will be outweighed
By the times we surprise ourselves and you.

Blessed are you who ask for our help,
For our greatest need is to be needed.

Blessed are you when you assure us,
That the one thing that makes us individuals
Is not in our peculiar muscles,
Nor in our wounded nervous system,
Nor in our difficulties in learning,
Nor any exterior difference.
But is in our inner, personal, individual self
Which no affirmity can diminish or erase.

I think it's definitely time for new pictures!!

Malakai just loves food!

This is his favourite time of day (and mine too)!

There is nothing like meeting your child's needs - you know he wants it, you know you can give it to him, he's a happy camper, and you're a happier mommy!

I just love it!

Anonymous said...: I think Malakai and Keaton got the same Memo - they both love their food soooo much.... And yes it is the such a nice feeling to meet their needs isnt it? Wait until Malakai is having all the bells and whistles like flings and mari biscuits and biltong and dried fruit and tuc buscuits and hot cross buns and all things nice - I just know he is going to LOVE it! The photo's are absolutely adorable! Hope you had a stunning weekend with your mom! God bless!; February 17, 2009 at 7:58 AM
