Jade the Beauty








My sister had a baby. Her name is Jade. She is beautiful.
I went to see her again yesterday.
When walking in to the house, there was peace.
Parents fascinated by their little one.
Daddy holding her with such delicate care.
Mommy so tired, yet, she glows.
She looks at her baby and still can't believe she is her's.
The way she describes her feelings for her new one are tender and difficult for her to explain.
But I know.
I know what you are feeling.
No need to try and put it in to words.
The overwhelming love you have for a child you just met.
Yes, you can watch your baby for hours while she sleeps...
Just wondering how she can be so small and so beautiful.
Keep her close. Protect her.
Be her mommy and her friend.
She is stepping in to a harsh world.
She is so lucky to have you.

Hannah I love these! Especially the feet picture-they are so tiny and yet so detailed! It really is crazy. Beautiful job capturing the little one. You and sarah really have a gift for this. Can't wait for you guys to take pics of my little guy!
