Hannah, Heather and Alan

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
