Lov'en the SNOW!

Fun with Mr. Snowman

Hannah's first Snowman :)

Pretty Dress

Hannah wore this dress to church the day after Valentines. She looked so cute :) And just look at how long her hair is getting!

Playing with Cousins

Hannah enjoys playing will ALL her cousins! Here she plays with cousins Schroeder and Livy on the ice on the pond. Hannah always wants to go on THE POND! :)

..if Hannah could, she would have every single person from our families over to the house at the same time! She is SUCH a people person! How funny is that?! And then here Bob and I are with our private, reclusive ways! Ha,ha! No matter :) God has given us the perfect fit with Hannah Grace!

Hannah visits Antonela

Last month Hannah visited her friend Antonela, who now lives happily in Zeeland with her new "Forever family". Nela (as we called her in Albania), was from the same orphanage as Hannah. She arrived here in America in December of last year. We were so happy to see her again! :)

More day!...says Hannah

Wow! It's March already and we haven't blogged in such a long time! As you might have guessed, we have just been SO BUSY with raising little Hannah :) She is a delightfully, fiesty little sweetheart who really fills our hearts with JOY! :) Don't get me wrong, she's not sweet all the time :)....she can really be stubborn and get on my last nerve. But God really has helped us through all the prayers and helpful "tips" from all of you. Thank you!!

....Hannah says, "More day!", when she wants us all to keep talking about what has happened in our day (this is part of our routine for bedtime) It's just so sweet when she says that...although I'm beginning to think that maybe she really just wants to s-t-a-l-l her bedtime! Hmm? Well, we have fun with reading a bedtime story, talking about our day, and then praying together before she goes to sleep for the night. She loves praying on our bellies, backs, with one leg in the air :)....and then the standard, on our knees :)
