Micah’s Rainbow

Today I Celebrate Life!
Today is the day that we have set aside to say goodbye to one of the most amazing little men I have ever met.

Micah Canvasser – an angel who brought love and endless inspiration that will last my whole lifetime.

This beautiful photo was edited by on of Mom’s dear friends to remove the lines and tubes from Micah’s beautiful face.

You can catch up with my relationship with this client in these previous posts:

Micah and his Twin Brother Zachary, his Parents Jennifer and Noah, and all of their close family surrounding them, have been using babywearing to multiply in front of my eyes the joy that they experience with each other in the unique situation that they are living through.

In order to wrap this family, Mom, Dad, Twin, Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins in Love and Support We have designed an Exclusive girasol together that we have named Micah’s Rainbow and will be offered to the world soon through preorder at elephantearsonline.com.
The preorder will be announced shortly, and the wraps are projected by girasol to arrive to us in June/July.
Proceeds from Micah’s Rainbow will be donated to “Micha’s Smiles” a fund set up in Micah’s name to contribute to the University of Michigan Mott Hospital, where Micah lived most of his life.

Here is the Image of Micah’s Rainbow.
The colors are a tribute to the hospital where he lived most of his life, and the rainbow at the top represents the joy that every little life that we love brings to us, no matter how long we have the pleasure of their company.

Oh, Micah.
It was Just too short a time for me. I am looking forward to your Life Celebration Today. I know it will be beautiful, just like you. We have all been asked to wear Rainbows and Bright colors for the occasion. I promise to be happy knowing you are at peace. Even though I cannot help feeling sad inside.

My heart goes out this moment and every moment to all who have lost a child. It is Our hope, The Canvasser Family and the Morse Family – That this wrap can comfort all who have lost, in some small way.

Heaven on Earth

Elephant Ears is proud to announce "Heaven on Earth," our first Girasol exclusive pattern. This is the first exclusive print created by Elephant Ears co-owner Rebeccca Morse, better known in the baby wearing community as "beccalionsmom." Rebecca designed "Heaven on Earth" primarily with teaching in mind, but also to celebrate her family's new venture as co-owners of Elephant Ears.

Simply put, "Heaven on Earth" reflects how we feel about the experience of wrapping and wearing our babies and children. Elephant Ears' mission is to unite and nurture families, and a great way to promote this mission is through a shared family experience of baby wearing.

The colors of the "Heaven on Earth" exclusive Girasol are taken from the colors that Elephant Ears carefully created when designing our store decor, our website, and our logos. The colors are whimsical but neutral enough to compliment every style. Both "Heaven on Earth" colorways will look great on moms and dads alike. In addition to the elegant simplicity of the pattern, "Heaven on Earth" is designed with new baby wearers in mind. The broad stripes and opposite colored rails make learning to wrap or sling a breeze.
