Why Shimmer & Tulle?
I think it is somewhat symbolic of life.
Shimmer, we need to shimmer and let our lights shine. We need to stand out. Sometimes, as our own unique individuals. And, sometimes, as a collective body. I'd like to let my light shine, to shimmer through all of my actions, handiworks, my words, my home.
Tulle. Even though it is one of the prime fabrics used in bridal dresses, have you ever really looked at it? It's practically netting. Fabric with holes in it! Something that can be transformed into something so beautiful - well, really is very fragile, is material hand-pieced together and is somewhat transparent, even with its many layers.
Isn't this really a picture of us as people?
I think it's amazing how we can see God's hand of creation and transformation in e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.
Jed: a most welcome blessing
If you are a follower of Shimmer and Tulle,
you are probably wondering where I am.
I am right here,
next to the warmest, most beautiful, new bundle of complete joy.
Introducing Jed...
Born October 27th, 2011 at 10:35pm. He weighed 8lbs 3 oz and was 23 inches long. (5 oz less and 2 inches more than his brother).
We were able to have a homebirth, with labour taking only 59 mins! (This was half the time from my first son, so the running joke --- or concern, I should say, is what will happen when we are on our 6th!).
Jed is now two months old and showing his good natured,
very smile-y personality :)
Big brother is quite happy too.
Congrats! He is adorable- as is his big brother! :) BTW... Wow!In regard to your labour....I am extremely jealous! ;)
