Namesake

All three cousins met their namesake yesterday. Ray Giles is Caleb's grandfather, a man we are extremely proud to have named Daisy after. A lifelong missionary in Ethiopia, the way he has lived his life has helped to shape the legacy of this family. Pa was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in August. Not entirely sure we would get to see Pa again, we have been so blessed to get to see him and GG twice now since coming back to the US. There are really no words to describe the simple sweetness of seeing him hold these three new babies who all bear his name. Pa's health has stabilized amazingly, thanks to the prayers of the many faithful and to the wonder of the body's ability to heal with the help of modern medicine. Nola, Calven, and Daisy, you all have a lot of love to grow into...and a lot to live up to...

  1. Hi Joanna! Congrats on your beautiful little Daisy! I hope you all are doing well adjusting to life with another kid :) It's been wonderful and exhausting for us. Elsa and Ezra are so big and so cute! Thanks so much for commenting on my blog and keeping in touch. I've enjoyed keeping up with your adventures in Omo on your blog. Take care!
