Big Congrats to my friend Tara & her hubby Eric, they recieved a referral today for sweet baby Malak. Go check out her blog. Tara, I'm so excited for you guys. He's absolutely beautiful.
Thank you thank you! Obviously, we are waaay beyond excited about sweet Malak! It is so weird to have a cute little face to go with the name that we have been saying and praying about for such a long time. So weird. But wonderful!!!
