Happy Birthday Hannah!!!

My little baby turned 9 today! I can't believe it. Where on earth has the time gone?? The one thing about remembering when she was born, is that it also brings back sad memories of my Mom dying. Hannah was born only 2 months before my Mom succumbed to cancer. So, part of me wants to remember the excitement and happiness of our little blessing from 2001, but part of me wants to forget 2001 'cause of losing my own Mom. It was quite a year for us!

That being said, I am so very proud and blessed that I have two beautiful children.  Hannah has grown into such a beautiful young lady over the past year. I am very excited to see what the future holds for her. Here she is through the years:

2001 - A few hours old...all 10 lbs 2 oz of her!!


2002 - 1 year old


2003 - 2 years old


2004 - 3 years old


2005 - 4 years old


2006 - 5 years old


2007 - 6 years old - Kindergarten homeschool graduation


2008 - 7 years old


2009 - 8 years old


2010 - 9 years old!! My little girl has blossomed into a beautiful young lady!!


"Happy birthday my dear sweet girl! I love you beyond words. May God continue to guide you and bless you as you grow. Always keep Him in the center of all you do. Love Mommy"
