Sam says, "I miss you Momma and Daddy. I can't wait to see Baby Hannah. I love you. Bye."
Grandma and Grandpa say you are in our prayers daily and at every moment we think of you. Hannah is definately her own person. And you are wise to hold her and love her and just let her be. That is good that she is getting in bed with (not really "on") you. That will put her closer to Alan, too. Dad says, he knows that Alan is a little hurt because she won't go to him, but it is not surprising because all Hannah knows is women. Her little world has not had a lot of men and certainly not for any length of time. But what a joy she has in front of her! By the way, does she like ice cream? Remember how you longed for the boys to talk? And then when they began to talk you almost wished they wouldn't? Better enjoy the same with Hannah. Remember those pictures of her in the orphanage? I feel pretty sure that when she gets her comfort level up, you aren't going to be able to keep up with her! She has definately shown that she likes to explore and that she likes other children. You are wise to be a patient as you are. You have waited this long to get her and your patience will be rewarded in this area when she begins to blossom. And it WILL happen!!
On the home front, the boys miss you. We are playing a lot of basketball, UNO Attack, and watching TV and playing on the computer. Today, we decided to go to the Children's museum as Karen's family is coming around 6 pm tonight. Thursday, we'll go to the Tree House and Friday, Andrea and her children are coming around 9 AM and staying through lunch. Grandpa and I are going to Dillards Close out sale. So we have a busy week planned.
Jacob says, "I miss you Mom and Dad. Jacob really liked Thomas and he liked riding Thomas the very best. He got to ride in the front with the driver of a 1945 French Fire Truck--that was an original Freemont fire truck. Sam liked the Fire truck ride and he liked the Thomas ride. He says he likes to play UNO Attack with Grandma, but that is just because he always wins!!!! He helped water the new grass this morning and then he shot a few baskets. He is getting pretty good with his dribbling and he likes to try to steal the basketball!
China sounds really fascinating! Hope you are getting a lot of good video. You are getting some really good photos and we are really enjoying them.
Gotta go. We are off to the Children's Museum.
Love,
Mom and Dad

Welcome, Hannah
We have been wearing out the computer waiting for these pictures and now they are here! We are all excited about our newest granddaughter, Hannah Grace. She is a beautiful little girl and we are anxious to get her home. Grandpa said he didn't think he would spoil her very much--right!
Sam said to tell Hannah he loves her and he misses Mom and Dad. Jacob said he is happy to have a baby sister and is looking forward to seeing her. Der and I are thrilled to death, Heather! What an exciting time for all of you. Hannah is such a precious little girl. And what a voyage of discovery the three of you are on. I am really glad you have these two weeks to get acquainted and begin to learn about each other. Sure hope she learns to swallow watermellon! The three of you are in our prayers.
We wrote a comment on your blog, Heather, but somehow it didnt work so we came over to this one. Hope you can read it.
Our other granddaughter is celebrating a momentous time in her life--she just registered for her classes for her senior year. And it seems like only yesterday that she was Hannah's age, sitting on her grandpa's lap and getting spoiled. What a beautiful young lady she is!
Sam and Jacob are doing fine. They are helping Grandpa water the new grass around the court and I'm sure they aren't getting wet! We went to church on Sunday and Alan, you were right, the preacher was truly outstanding. He used an outline for his sermon on prayer! No doubt one of the best sermons I've ever heard. We sat in the balcony and will sit there again next Sunday--but higher up. I did tell Jacob that when Mom and Dad come home he will probably NOT sit in the balcony. But what the heck--we're grandparents. The boys have also enjoyed the pool and I am afraid Sam has become addicted to oreos. We are fine here and just awaiting the arrival of Mom and Dad and Hannah.
Love,
Mom N Dad

Hannah
I hope everyone has checked out Heather and Alan's blog to see pictures of Hannah. She is beautiful. I am so happy for them.
I can't wait to see everyone in August. It will be fun to be together. I can't believe school is about to begin. We start back August 18 and the kids come the 25th. TOO FAST! Especially since it is Bekah's senior year. We are doing senior pictures this week. Hopefully I will figure out how to post them. THanks for reading. Love, Kelly

Hi Kell, thanks for introducing us to the fascinating world of blog! How our world is expanding! Dad just got a headache personally--but he will love it. Now all you have to do is teach us how to use it.
We had a wonderful time with Will even though it was a short time. He went with us to the barn and was pretty amazed at the 90 year old woman who was dancing a jig! He was really tired as he had just come in from a baseball camp. He went to church with us and then we ate Chinese food. (Grandpa and Grandma took a nap when they got home.) Late that afternoon we went to Granbury, mowed the lawn, cleaned the house and went to bed! Will wanted us to get him up at 5:30 am but we woke a 6:15 am. By 6:30 Will and Grandpa were out on the dock fishing. I took them some breakfast and around 11:30 took them some lunch. Will did not leave the dock! He caught a lot of fish--including about a two pound large mouth bass! It was pretty! And Will baited his own hook and took the fish off the hook--a real fisherman! We also dropped by Costco for a mocha drink and barbecued and worked jig saw puzzles and had a lot of fun. Tues AM we drove to Abilene to meet Jim. We throughly enjoyed our time with Will and looking forward to spending time with our Bekah.
Heather, we are looking forward to seeing you and spending time with the boys. We saw Trevi after choir today and she was very excited about Baby Hannah. She even had tears in her eyes! I'm really glad the couple from Omaha is going with you. Can't find a babybook! They all have the first year and then just a blank page (or 1/2 a page) for years 2-4. Will try again tomorrow and see what else we can't find!
Love, Mom

Still Trying To figure Out How This Works
I am scared to say that I have lost touch with my computer---I have no idea how to use a blog. So, that in mind, I think the following posted under Kelly's comment from February, but I am not sure, so let me try it this way...
I would have to agree with Kelly's idea and Barry's comments from earlier this year, the travelling Hogs Shakers sounds like fun! Sorry it took so long to check this, I had forgotten it was in my favorites.
So is anyone still coming to Fort Worth the week of July 21? I have that week off. Although I am busy that Tuesday, the rest of the week is wide open. Thought I would ask, just in case plans needed to be made or changed.
Hey, can I get an email notification when the blog is updated? How do I set that up?
OK, well, I need to finish a report and get ready for bed, so I will talk to y'all later!
Love ya'll,
Ellen
