 We each got the let our balloons go as we wanted too.  Nathan has a little trouble with some tangling and he decided to let them all go at the same time.

 Sending the balloons off, one of Sam's balloons had a picture of Hannah on the end of the string, you can kinda see it in this picture.

 We also visited Hannah's grave.  The balloons here are from grandma, Pake and Beppe

 We went to a park as a family.  It was a good time.  Here we all are

 Terri Lynn wanted another time picture with daddy.

Up and the Little Mountain over looking the farm land and toward our home.

As we reflect on our day. It was so good we could be together as a family.  I just need to remind myself I have seven other blessings that need their mommy.  I know Hannah was an extra special gift God gave us and we are honored to be her family!!

We love you Hannah Grace and we miss you so much! 

Psalms 23

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
² He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
³ He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
⁶ Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell^[a] in the house of the Lord
Forever.

Love, Sandi Kwant (Mommy to Martin, Sam, Cassie, Heidi, Valerie, Nathan, Terri Lynn, Hannah
