We The People Of The Mekhail Family...


A long time ago {about a year and half} in a far away land {Kirkland} I came up with this brilliant {not so original though} idea: Let's establish a family consitution. George was immediately on board. It's finally finished. Phew. I was pregnant with Kingston and really REALLY wanted to make sure that George & I were on the same page of what we stood for as a family and be able to teach it to our children as they grow. We worked for quite some time researching what it meant to have a constitution, examining others and began building a list of things we wanted to include in ours. Then baby came and it all got put on hiatus for a bit. Just a couple months ago, through the help of others, we pieced it all together and my AMAZING sister-in-law Samar turned it into a beautiful 16x20 masterpiece and got it printed onto canvas. It now hangs in our home to remind us each day why we are here and to help us grow a little more each day as a person and in Christ. I also hope that others who love to welcome us with their presence in our home know exactly what we stand for as a family as well.
