11 Years of Marriage

Today is the day Aaron and I are celebrating our 11 years of marriage.  We went to a movie then to dinner.  Best of all, Nana babysat Hannah.

This year has been full of family heartache, baby joys, and more stress than I thought I could ever handle.  But my sweet husband has been right there with me, through (lots of) sickness and health, joy and sorrow.  I could not survive this crazy life without him.  I love you Aaron!

Hey~ I'm a mountain girl!

We went up to the Rocky Mountain National Park yesterday.  The Mississippi Gentrys were finally able to visit the place that Nana loves so much!  We saw lots of elk, beautiful falls, lovely trees and meadows and snow on the mountains.  I was even attacked by a hummingbird while wearing my red shirt (which everyone else thought was funny!).  Hannah rode in her Baby Bjorn for the first time and apparently enjoyed it so much she fell asleep!  We had a fun time at the Park, then went into the town of Estes Park for ice cream before heading to Denver to see Uncle Adam, Aunt Kirst and cousin Burke.

Three months old

Today Hannah is 3 months old.  Time is going soooo fast.  We spent the day by going to church with Nana and celebrating cousin Burke's 2nd birthday.  Fun times!

A Reluctant Farewell: Mark Gentry, 1951-2010

Mark died just a short while ago.  We rejoice in his reunion with the Savior. 

Here is a quote a found from a book I read that sums up what I am feeling right now:  "Those of us who remain live and learn and grow more like the Savior.  Through love, we experience joy and sorrow.  We weep when our hearts grow too full for words and we celebrate with those who rejoice.  We bid reluctant farewells, entrusting much loved souls to the Father's care, and we extend our hands to the new members of the family."

Pray for Evette.  Pray for all of us Gentrys.  We don't know any details yet, but pray for traveling arrangements as well. 

Hannah and Molly

Well friends, you knew it was coming.  Here are some pics of Molly "observing" Hannah.  Hannah was pretty oblivious to the bunny rabbit; then again, she is pretty oblivious to everything when she is playing on her baby einstien mat.  :)

Most of you already know that some big changes are happening to the Gentrys.  I have not been able to process everything, let alone write about it.  However, we need your prayers as Aaron searches for a new job.  Thanks.

Molly's birthday

Happy Birthday Molly Rabbit!  Molly came home from the pet shop 4 years ago today.  It is hard to imagine that it has been that long ago.  What a blessing she has been in my life~ I love you my fuzzy bunny!
