Our Hannah

Three years ago today, at 1:34am a new life took her first breath.  Hannah Grace was born and placed in my arms for the first time.  She was 7lb 8oz and 20 inches long. I thought that we, Chris and I, made a family. 

Little did I know that our life was really empty and you were one of the answers to making it whole.
Our first snuggle
What you looked like the day we brought you home
At 6 months old you were growing more precious every day
Here you are almost 1 year old and have taught me more than you will ever know
At 18 months months you still are my little Buggy
At 2 years old you and I both think you are so big, but really you still have so much more growing to go
You are the most beautiful little girl I have ever seen! We pray daily for God to give us the guidance to raise you as He sees fit. What a wonderful little girl He is helping us train you to be! God definatley started a great master piece when He created you! We can't wait to see the piece evolve! We love you so much and can't wait to see what the coming years have in store for you!!

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
~Psalm 139:13

Chicks Diggin' Chicks!!!

We had a new arrival in our house this week of 30 chicks!!  I don't know who was more excited over them, the girls or me!!  We have such a grasshopper problem that our garden has barely squeaked by for the past 2 years thus, 30 chicks! At 1 egg a day for each chicken, provided they are all hens, we will have eggs to spare so let me know if you want some free range eggs! 

Here are some moments captured of the girls while we were getting the chicks all settled in to their new home.
Hannah can't wait for me to get them out!!
"Can you cut a little faster Mom?"
"FINALLY!!"
 

First time touching the chicks.
Teaching each chick to drink.
Do you think we are excited?
"Ahhh!! Changed my mind! I don't want to hold it!"
All settled in
"I could sit here and watch for hours..."
"NOOOOO!!! It is not time to leave yet!!"

"Look st the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are you not much more valueable than they" ~Matthew 6:24
