Emilia gets lots of visitors

Our house has been bustling with visitors ever since our baby girl arrived. That is very typical of African families, a new baby means a great cause for celebration. Let me tell you there has been lots of celebration around these parts. We've loved having visitors and though it got overwhelming at times with getting some sort of routine with the kids and all, it's been so great to introduce baby girl to our family and friends

Family members traveled from overseas to come hang out with us this Summer and we are so grateful for this awesome family support. The sweetest has definitely been hubby's grandma who came all the way from England to spend a few months with us. The last time she was here was for our wedding 7 years ago and now she is here hanging out with all 4 of our kids. Is that amazing or what?

My aunt J is also here from Paris and spending lots of time with our sweet girl
My mom's friend came over to visit and all the kids cooperated for a group picture, yep those kids are all mine
My cousin Irene and Emilia chilling and relaxing, I used to change her diapers when she was little and now she is changing my baby's diapers. Circle of life I tell you
My friend HJ visited from California, the last time we hung out she was 19 weeks and I was 13 weeks and now we are holding our babies
Look at those future besties
And of course we got a group picture of everyone who came to visit

Our family friend T also came to visit, we grew up in Cameroon and have know each other for more than 25 years
Our baby girl is one lucky lady because everyone wants to come visit her and shower her with love and kisses. We love visitors and how excited everyone has at the arrival of our Emilia. We are thankful for family and friends and our beautiful baby girl who is growing strong and healthy everyday.
