Morning Walk

After my morning prayer and breakfast, Azarie and I went for a walk in our neighborhood today and I feel amazing! I bet Azarie enjoyed it, too :) We used to just stay in the house in the mornings while Azarie gets bored and I try all sorts of things to keep her occupied and at the same time do my household chores. You can just imagine how crazy it gets. But after our walk, Azarie didn't get fussy and she fell asleep in a breeze. Hopefully after this newly discovered morning routine, things will be easier ;)




it's wonderful to breathe the morning air

Thank You, Lord for giving us this great time to exercise and have fun doing it. We pray it will be a morning ritual for us so we can nourish our body. Amen.

Azarie is 145 days old

I am writing this post because I want to make it a habit to blog daily. That's an advice I got from a blogger in one of his posts. I have another blog so right now my mind is really a blank. So I will just share a picture of Azarie's first morning nap for the day.

she has grown up so much!

Thank you Lord for Azarie. She is such a precious blessing. May You always bless her to be full of love for You and for others. Amen.

Vancouver Parks

We love going to parks. A few weeks ago, we visited a couple of parks in Vancouver and we were so glad they were just about 10 minutes away from our place. Spending time in the park is our ideal family time. :)

we are excited when azarie will be big enough to play in the parks

Thank You, Lord for letting us spend time in the majesty of Your creation. May we be able to show Azarie how to enjoy and take care of all the things You made. Amen.

Instagrammed

I have been taking a lot of pictures of Azarie. I am sharing below my favorites after I "instagrammed" them ;)

not sleeping much but waking up to Azarie's smiles is worth it

Thank You, Lord for precious moments like above. Amen.

Azarie's New Toy

Last night we bought Azarie an exersaucer! I found it in Craigslist for only $40. The retail price sells for $149 so we got a great deal. Azarie doesn't stay long in it because I think she' still too tiny and  is not comfortable in it. I think she also gets frustrated because she is at that stage now where she wants to put everything in her mouth but the toys in the exersaucer are fixed.

Thank you, Lord for providing us with toys to play with. We pray that these toys will help Azarie develop better, especially to the person you want her to be. Amen..

Azarie in the Morning

Azarie usually wakes up at around 7:30 AM and as much as I would still like to sleep beyond that, I have to be awake, too or else she would be kicking me a lot. :)  I enjoy waking up early with her, though because she always gives me her big and happy smile which is brighter than the sunshine.

Thank You Lord for the Azarie's smiles :) May You bless her with happy smiles always and may she share these smiles to others. Amen.

A day at Granville

We went to Granville Island today. The weather was a bit chilly so we didn't really get to walk around the area much. Plus Farid didn't eat his lunch because he didn't like what he ordered. :(
The place was just 15 minutes from our house but with traffic and stop signs, it probably took us 30 minutes to get there. The place was also quite crowded. Of course that is what they call the city life. I actually was looking forward to going back  to our home after the trip. Even though my husband was the one driving, I felt his stress about the driving in the city.

Thank You God for letting us spend our weekend exploring the city and seeing the  busyness of it all. May You bless us in our city life adventures. Amen.
