Our little Hannah Elizabeth was born on June 2, at 11:17 am. She
weighed 6 pounds, 9 ounces and was 19 inches long. She had a head full
of dark hair and dark blue eyes. Will and I, along with her brothers Weston, Connor, and James,
all welcomed her with open arms. Connor was the most excited about
having a baby sister. He wanted to be the first to hold her. He just
kept saying, "She is so cute!" When Weston first held her, he said,
"Welcome to the world, pretty girl." James couldn't stop giving her
kisses and softly patting her head while saying, "Baby, baby." Everyone
is happy to have little Hannah around. She is just like a little baby
doll. The name Hannah means "He (God) has favored me." In
the Bible, Hannah prayed for a son and God blessed her with Samuel. So,
the name literally means "God has graced me with a son." How fitting
to name our fourth child and first daughter Hannah, because God has
graced us with a daughter. She is a blessing we couldn't have even
imagined. Will says that "our family feels complete" now that she is
here with us. Oh, little Hannah girl, you are loved so much! I thank
God for you, as well as for each of your brothers that will be watching
over you as you grow up.
