My Sister’s Visit

this is a post about a very special week in my life!
Sary was 3 weeks old when my two sisters travelled all the way long from Abu Dhabi to Beirut, just to see us and to spend couple days with their nephews!

Now I don’t want to write about the usual feelings regarding sisterhood and how amazing and important it is to look around and see my sisters beside me… I don’t want to describe my happiness and my relief… because it is really beyond my capability to transform all this into a simple post.

It was simply overwhelming, and in three words, I was more than happy.

Back to Work

Today I'm back to work.
After spending 50 days with my family, I finally had to send my kids to their grandparents' place and head to work.
I cannot deny the guilty feeling that wrapped me today when I was preparing my baby to go to my in law's house... A trip he should do everyday from now on.
My heart broke, and tears filled my eyes as I kissed him and put him in his car seat...

Trying to see the full half of the cup, I thank God for all his blessings, for this cute healthy baby, for having and doing a job I like, for an understanding supportive husband, and for this great weather...
But...The empty half of the cup is also present...
having to bring the kids myself every Monday and Wednesday is a clear evidence of its presence. Jamil has to attend a course at these days and it'll be my mission to bring kids  home, which means a tough and exhausting task... two times a week!

But it'll pass, and I'm really happy...
Happy to resume work, to see my friends daily again, and happy to know that everyday I'll come back home and hug my sweetest kids and have the best times with my family!
and I'll keep trying to think positive, to make our life better, to fill our house with joy and happiness, and to thank God every single moment for all what I have.

A really late post about Mother's day... the Best mother's day

with Ghadi in the classroom

performing the songs 

the sweetest songs ever!

Then Ghadi was the first to sing a Solo! I felt so proud!

Sary: 10 days old!

Ghadi, THE best Brother ever!

Before the deivery Ghadi was so excited about the idea of having a brother
we all expected that this excitement will fade away once his bother is no more inside a big tummy but a real baby who cries a lot...
well, i have to admit that our expectations were all false!
Ghadi proved to be the best brother ever... he didn't show any signs of jealousy towards his brother, never over reacted, he did not even change his behavior... he likes to kiss him, to help me change his diaper...
too good to be true!!!!!!!!!!!

Red cheeks and a wide smile!

I always wished I could shoot Ghadi when he arrives from school, in his uniform, with his red cheeks and amazing smile…

But I was never able to do it since that he comes before I finish work, and usually mom waits for him and takes him home.

But finally my sister did it today!

She waited for the bus and received him accompanied by Riad and his cousins, and she took a couple of very sweet photos which I adored for their spontaneity and for the happiness present in these lovely faces!
