Oh My Goodness!!! What beautiful pictures!
I had to share this moment with my second period class. :o) I couldn't wait any longer to see if there was a post from you. It was so hard to hold back the tears, while waiting for the page to load. All of the kids think Hannah is just beautiful!! I wish you could have heard them! They even asked if we could put the new picture up on the board. They chose the picture of Hannah and you looking at each other. What a beautiful picture that is!!!! It is printing now and will soon be up on the bulletin board. :o)
(Hope you don't mind?)
I am so very happy for both of you! What an amazing day this is!!! Congratulations!!!

She is perfect!
Seriously, I called my hubby over to see Hannah, well you both, united together at last. And the first thing he said is "She is such a wonderful mother". Believe me, my husband doesn't say things like that...often.
It's true.
You two are perfect together. Of course you are, God made you both for each other. How amazing.
Best wishes and prayers galore.
