“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
Thich Nhat Hanh
On September 3rd 2008, Kelli received a call that would change her life. In a moment she went from being a woman who wanted a family to learning that she would soon be a mother to a little boy.
Sometimes you see a family that is so perfectly matched and this family is that family. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Kelli for a couple of years now and I recall so well the first time I met her son. Even then I knew he was going to be a gentle hearted child. Kelli gives so much of her self to her students, to her family and friends, and advocates for orphans in Vietnam. Yeah, they are that family and thank God!
Aiden couldn’t possibly be any sweeter and fun if he tried. Even though the heat index was 105* he was a trooper and put up with me asking him to play here, play there.
Kelli, I have additional photographs for you, but since Craig Ferguson of the Late Late Show is playing I should probably go to bed and add the rest tomorrow!
I hope you enjoy your images:)
