Happy Birthday Hannah!

5 years ago today at 4pm we were holding Hannah for the first time in our arms.

(mainly Chris because I felt way too drugged up to hold her.)

Boy has our life changed since then.

Thank you Hannah for coming along and changing our lives.
You are a part of us and we love you so so much!
XOXOXO

Our Sunday Pictures

Playing Ball Inside!

If you have not played this with Justus yet you really should. There is one warning I will give you though - he is very serious about your feet touching. Very. Serious. :-)

Water Day!

Today we had water day at the CMD House since I was keeping four extra children. It rained a little and that actually made for the perfect water day. Hot with sprinkles coming down and water to play in. They loved it and I loved watching it.

OF Course there are pictures!

Here are some close-up friends pictures:here hannah is licking snot and justus is yelling cheeeeeeeeese.
oh my - these two are a mess.

Here are some fun play pictures. Don't look too close, you might just laugh and laugh and laugh!:who would you be more afriad of getting pounced by? justus? or willa? does ellie even know what is about to happen?

Here are some semi-artsy pictures. Not everyone was standing still to get some of these!:there is something I really like about this picture of Hannah. this is her serious face. she was helping me fill up the pool with water and she took her job very seriously.

Here is a testimony to the fact that they did not hear me when I told them we were having water day and not mud day:FUN Times had by ALL for sure!

Our Sunday Pictures

Hannah was faking smiling a lot Sunday morning....

I guess that is what the Sunday pictures are all about -

it shows how we were each week. :-)
