A Birthday Weekend

October 28, 1999 Hannah Ruth was born. I was lucky enough to be a part of her delivery (and Cody's in 1991). I remember being so anxious to see her. What was she going to look like? Who was she going to look like? We did not realize how this girl would change the dynamic of our family and "rock our world". :)

Big Brother just after her arrival. He did not realize what he was getting into. :)

This is one of my favorite pictures. If I remember correctly. She wasn't like this most of the time. I remember pacing the floor at 2 a.m. praying to God that He would quiet her.

And now. She is a vibrant girl. She enjoys life. She is full of energy and sass. She is a dancer. She loves baby dolls, playing with friends, cooking with her mom, aggrevating her brother. She has a compassionate soul. She is passionate which leads to A LOT of drama for all of us.

We wouldn't have it any other way.

Thank you, Jesus, for the gift of Hannah and how she has touched our lives. We are anxious to watch her grow and become the woman you have created her to be. May her vibrancy and passion never cease. May her steps always glorify you. We pray she loves you deeply all the days of her life and that she never knows a day without you and your gracious mercy.

Our October babies. We celebrate them both!
