Hannah on Cassie's Birthday Day 12 (12/28/10)

Today Hannah is 12 days old and It happens to also be Cassie's 13th birthday.  I felt so overwhelmed with Hannah at home.  We did not take Cassie out for dinner nor did she get to pick her favorite dinner. Thinking back about this I felt bad, I said sorry to her, I knew she understood but it felt good to her and I that I apologized. 

On Cassie's birthday some of my favorite picture of Hannah were taken.  This picture I love because it shows off her beautiful face.

This is another one of my favorite pictures because Cassie bought this headband for Hannah and she looks so peaceful and she looks so perfect

This picture is another favorite one of mine. She is beautiful.  This outfit is really tiny if you look at it now.  Do you see the football in the background?  That football was a gift to Hannah from Sam.

Now comes a series of favorite photos and I'm so thankful we took these pictures!

Hannah's Excitement on Cassie's Birthday

Today was Saturday. Today also besides Cassie's birthday Rick took the kids to pick out the Christmas Tree. I stayed home with Hannah.

Hannah lost her umbilical cord!  She can now have a regular bath!

We were so happy that Hannah got to enjoy her first family birthday. We were so thankful we were home for Cassie's birthday and not still in the NICU!

Hannah Grace gave Cassie a red fuzzy blanket and a green frog pillow pet.  Cassie treasures these items right now.  Rick and I gave Cassie a locket for her birthday. She has been such a big help and she has just gone in without being asked, she will without complaining clean up the kitchen, help with lunch, diner or make breakfast. She was a big help to Beppe and Pake when they were staying here while we were in the NICU.  She was Beppe right hand lady.   We love you so much Cassie! 

Thank you to Bible Baptist Church for coming and signing Christmas carols for us!  It was so beautiful and meant so much to show your support in that way. 

Thanks to Teresa and Mark, Michelle, Ashley and family, Shannon, Jay and Nellie, Cathy and Bill for your visit.  It truly means alot to us.  Thanks for the meal that was brought too!



Proverbs 3:5&6

     Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
      And lean not on your own understanding;
      In all your ways acknowledge Him,
      And He shall direct^[a] your paths.
