22 Weeks, 2 Days


Dear Baby Batts #2,

Late tonight, I took Memaw and Papa into the airport. They are flying to Oregon for a couple days, then to Jerusalem for about two weeks! We can’t wait to hear all about their adventures in the Holy Land when they get back. One day, daddy and I would like to take you and Ruth there (and everywhere!). Travel – and the new perspectives it gives us – is so important.

Baby girl, we don’t want you to just see a third world country one day. We want you to smell it. Touch it. Look it in the eye and live in it for a little while. Experience it and allow it to change you. Don’t just travel – live there. Shop in the local stores; talk to the old men and women standing on the corners; smile and nod and ask for food recommendations.

Live intentionally and simply.

Love,

Mama
