When we became three

First there was us. Two young dreamers. I followed him to the mountains where he had his first professional job. We were mostly alone, with his family nearby, and we welcomed our firstborn Hannah.

So exciting. So new. We spent our days together. Before cable. Before internet. It was just us in the quiet mountains. And how much we loved her!

We spent our moments with her, holding her...

Hiking with her...

Pulling her along in a sled...

On her first birthday, she was rewarded with her first taste of chocolate. She LOVED it!!!

and then she became a sister.

Now two babes to love. Her happiness continued to bless our days.

Always dressing up...and dalmatians were her favorite...

gathering her goods to practice being lovely...

and having a brother to practice being loving...

Daddy took them fishing.

And she learned that patience has rewards.

What beauty and blessing she brings to us.

Artsy and a romantic.

A dreamer of big things.

Blessed to have people who love her.

And we are blessed by her loving us.

Happy 16 years of growing, and learning, and laughter Hannah!
