when a HOUSE is more than a HOME

Each of my girls
 share a gift.

They have created, in their homes,

a sanctuary

and in describing these homes,

instead of

"oh, it's a three bedroom, two bath home

with a porch",

one is compelled to use personification, as in...

"ahh, the home is inviting, warm, happy.

It is so welcoming!"
I love personification... and when it comes to using
it in describing a home...
well, that just makes my heart happy!
 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, 

Jessica and Peter have settled in their new home,

and have spent the last few months

personifying their abode.

Successfully.

And,

recently, I followed Lucas around... each with a camera in hand...

snapping away.
 

 Welcome

 to this welcoming place...

                                            He snapped a few of Liv along the way.....

 

Lucas...

Lucas: the important things in his room....

Interesting discovery with this photo shoot...

Lucas has an eye for texture...

Camera time is

done...

now for a swinging time in the backyard with dad...

Peter, Jess, Lucas and Livia,

an Irish prayer

for your santuary...

 

May these walls be filled with laughter,
may it reach from floor to rafter.
May the roof keep out the rain,
may sunshine warm each windowpane.
And may the door be open wide
to let the Good Lord's love inside.

Amen!
