Jasmine’s party was last week, but she is officially one today. Happy birthday, nieta!
If the pictures on Facebook are any indication, Mom and Dad had a real barn burner of a birthday celebration. I saw miniature horses and pigs, goats and all kinds of fun stuff. I snagged these pictures to post here. Look how happy Tim looks! Carry has the most beautiful smile. Jassy is giving us the peace sign.
Many thanks for sharing the pictures, Carry.
November is for gratitude, but December is for service. If there is a better way to perform service than being a father, I can’t think what it might be.
Here is a picture of Tim and his daughter Jasmine, rolling around on the floor.
Is there anything more fun than baby faces?
Last weekend we finally went to Miami to see Jasmine. I just got a new phone with a camera, so I took a bunch of shots. More on flickr.
This picture cracks me up.
Tim is a giant, Jasmine’s a lilliputian. He looks so happy. She looks intent on getting a little shut eye.
I snagged the photo from Tim’s mySpace page without permission. I am sure he doesn’t mind.
Awwwww. Cute as can be.
Last night, June 13, 2009, at 2:23 A.M. (EST), Jasmine Olivia Elhajj arrived, weighing 6 lbs 15 oz.
This morning I woke up to a slew of messages on my cell phone, all of them from Timmy. In the messages from last night, he sounded giddy and excited; in this morning’s, he sounded sleepy but pleased.
We spoke a few hours ago and he filled me in on some of the details. Carrie is doing fine after a long and difficult labor, which she handled like a trouper. Tim found watching his child come into the world to be a very emotional experience. Jasmine sounds like a peaceful little girl. She’s pink, with little to no hair, and a cute little dimple under her chin.
