Happy Birthday Hannah!!!

4 years ago today, i held my beautiful baby girl in my arms for the first time.. I cannot believe how fast the time has past. Hannah is such a liitle lady now. So grown up!!! I miss those days were i could just sit and hold her all day. Now shes too busy doing this and that.. We had a birthday party for her yesterday and she had so much fun. For the past few days she has been running around the house singing "happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me". I just want to cry when she does things like that.. This morning she opened her presents from us and in a few hours we will be taking her to go see Kung-fu Panda!! This weekend was just so much fun!!!

Hannah LOVES to go out and ride back and forth out on our patio. We try to go out anytime the weather is good and stay out for at least an hour. Shes such a big girl!!!

Our Angel

I thought i write a little about our little angel in heaven. We had struggled for a year in a half to concive our second child. With the help of a fertility durg called Clomid. We found out that i was pregnant on january 12th. I was in shock at first but about a week later we were lucky enough to have our first appt. Here in Germany we get to have ultrasounds at every appt. So we got to see our little baby bean, Corey even said he saw the heartbeat. We scheduled our next appt for Feb 22 i would be 10weeks4days. We went in having no idea anything was wrong. Durning the ultrasound the doctor got very very quite, which is not like him. Hannah had come along with us so she could bond with us durning what should have been such a happy time. Well it wasnt till Hannah said she had to go potty that we had relized something was very wrong. Corey got up to take her to the bathroom when the doc told Corey that he shouldnt leave and told me to get dressed. My heart broke at that very second. I knew i was not going to be having a baby any longer. He had found no hearbeat and told us to come back on Monday to check again. We had all weekend to think and process. We went back in on monday and was told that the baby still had no heartbeat. So that day, February 25, 2008 all are hope and dreams were gone. 2 days later i had sugery to remove the baby. That was it, he was gone. That whole pregnancy,well the 3months i was pregnant, i really thought it was a boy.. We will forever remember our angle. We are so grateful to have been blessed with him, even if it was only for 3 months. Today a little over 3 months later. I still think about that experience everyday. But life has gone on and were dealing with it. I have faith in our Lord that this happened for a reason. There is a plan for us all, and though i wish my baby was still with me im grateful for the things that i have gone through. I will be with my lost baby someday.. Goodbye sweet angel, mommy and daddy and your big sister love you for always.

The beach

After the gardens we drove to the beach. It was only 15mins away so we knew we couldnt pass it up. Hannah had a BLAST!! There was a little girl there and they kept running back anf forth up the water. She got so wet and pooped her pants and walked up the beach bare bumed. Everyone who saw got a good laugh.
~this is my fav pic. She just looks so happy!




~ and this is how she looked when the little girl had to leave.

Kuckenhof Gardens

We decided to go back to Holland to the Kuckenhof gardens again this year. The flowers are only in bloom 2 months a year(april-may). The weather was so nice and we had a lot of fun!

Hannah wasnt very interested in taking pictures so we only got a few good ones, silly girl.

Hannah being cute!

Just a little photoshoot that Hannah actually let me take some pics of her. I thinks she liked it!(these pics are from April)
