The Aiken Family
The past two months the world seems to have turned upside down and the future holds many uncertainties. Despite our fears and anguish during this strange time our family has loved spending quality time together in our home. Tom would usually be traveling for weeks on end so the lock-down period has given him the gift of being at home and watching our beautiful babies grow. We have been able to experience so many special moments together and find joy in the simple things in life by seeing life through their eyes. We witnessed Lily’s excitement as she caught and released her first fish! There have been on many garden adventures and have had treasure hunts and hide and seek games. We love our daily swims and now Lily at the age of two and a half can dive in properly and swim the length of the pool! Our sweet baby Sawyer started the lock-down period crawling and he is now taking his first steps. He has such a beautiful nature and it has been so precious to see his personality grow and how much he adores his big sister. He has kept us very busy around the house as he explores absolutely everything around him. We celebrated Sawyer’s first birthday on April 24th and the day was filled with so much love and joy.
It is a very difficult time for everyone in the world and there are so many uncertainties. We are trying to do our best by self isolating and we have faith that The Lord is watching over us all and that there is a reason for what is happening in the world right now.
Although we may feel fearful at times, we feel so grateful for this special time together and we prefer to look at it as ‘family re-connection’ rather than ‘social distancing’.
