Sarah Joy♥

Wow, so it's been a long time since I have posted (again!). Oh my. Well, I have a post about my Mexico trip coming up VERY soon... I promise, it will be up within the next week, maybe even before. But, right now I just wanted to post some pictures of my new cousin! Sarah Joy Parker was born 7 weeks early on May 26th (4 days after my 17th birthday!:)), weighing 3lbs. 12.5oz. She is the cutest little thing, and she is doing really well! I have been to visit her twice, one time being last this past Saturday, and I got to hold her! It was so awesome. She's adorable. Congratulations to Auntie Jenn and Uncle Dan! Well, here are some pictures I took the other day! :)

Sarah Joy the day she was born. :)

 Me getting to hold her for the first time. ♥

 She's so precious:)

 Susanna holding her for the first time. :)

 I don't know why it's sideways, but I don't know how to change it, so, oh well! :P

 Same with this one... She is so alive and alert for only being a week old, and being so small! :)

 Little tiny clothes... so cute! ♥

 The card that I made for Auntie Jenn, Uncle Dan and Sarah.♥

 Nana holding Sarah for the first time. :)

 So tiny.

 This is my Papa's ring next to her wrist... It could probably fit around her wrist, but it wouldn't fit over her hands and fingers. So adorable! :)

*yawn* 

Making funny faces in her sleep. :) 

I want to share real quick the poem that I wrote about Sarah, and then that will be it for tonight! :)

Precious Little Girl:

Sarah Joy Parker came into this world,

On May twenty-sixth, two thousand and twelve.

***

Welcomed by aunts, uncles, cousins and friends,

Grandparents, too, she’ll be loved ‘til the end.

***

Ten tiny fingers, and ten tiny toes,

Two perfect eyes, and a cute little nose.

***

I know she will grow up to be big and tall,

Even though right now, she is still very small.

***

Mommy and Daddy are so very proud,

But their smiles will be bigger on the day she is found.

***

Her name is just perfect for what she means to us,

Sarah means Princess, and Joy means-what else?

***

You were made in God’s image, a perfect one, too,

And I look forward to watching you learn and grow.

***

Sarah, you are fearfully and wonderfully made,

Even from the time when in your Mother’s womb you were laid.

***

And if the day ever comes when you’ll turn ninety-two,

Still, there could never be a more beautiful you!

***

I love you, Sarah, Auntie Jenn, and Uncle Dan!

All three of you are so special to me!

In Christ,

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
