I am embarrassed to say that both Mika & Pascal have not been aqiqah-ed until recently. We simply wait for the right moment and sort of forget about it. The aqiqah ceremony usually happened on the first 40 days of the baby’s life. However, any new Mum would agree with me that the first 40 days is the toughest. Sleep deprivation, engorged breast, raging hormones…you name it. Beside, we sort of did not know how to handle it. None of our relatives need to be fed. We didn’t want this holy ceremony turn into party for those who don’t need it.

Finally hubby came with brilliant idea to have it organized through the mosque and I agreed.

So yesterday, we received pictures on where the mosque distribute the goat meat. Two goats of Mika was fed to people in Situbondo, East Java. And two goats of Pascal was fed to people in Nganjuk, East Java. There are pictures of people praying, make satay, and I was so happy to see the happiness in their face. I don’t know any of them and they don’t know us but the pictures really made my gloomy week.

Have a nice weekend, everybody.
