Happy Birthday Evette!

Happy Birthday to Nana! 
Here are a few of my favorite pictures of her:

 The very young Gentrys!

 Finding friends wherever she goes: meeting up with Karen on our tour of D.C. in 2006

 Evette loves to match with her grandkids

Even if she doesn't match- she coordinates :) 

 Matching all the grandkids!

 Nana and Hannah in green :)

All the girls at Grace and Todd's wedding rehersal dinner

Mimi Jane is 90!

Here are a few pictures from our trip to Tyler this weekend to celebrate Mimi Jane's 90th Birthday! 

Family time in Colorado Springs

Here are a few pictures of our time at Evette's home in Colorado Springs.  The weather is great!  We have been relaxing, eating ice cream & frozen yogurt, visiting with Adam, Kirstin, Burke, Piper Jane and Evette.  We even ran into a friend from Colleyville at church this morning!  Stay tuned for 4th of July parade pictures . . . matching outfits are involved :)

Hannah's Baptism

Papa, Mimi Jo, me, Hannah, Aaron, Nana and Mimi Jane

Pastor Dale with his "Hannah B. Bananer"

Here is the only picture of Hannah in her matching bonnet!

Hannah was baptized last Sunday.  We were honored that the Rev. Dale Smith baptized her- he has been such a special person to both the Gentry family and Hannah's birth family.  The session approved Aaron to give the sermon.  It was more of a testimony to God's wonderful providence and faithfulness in our life and specifically in Hannah's adoption.

We were also blessed to have my parents, Evette and Aaron's grandmother there with us.

Random pictures from the last month

Our sweet friends Lisa and Carolyn Emerson came to visit from Philadelphia- with a handmade quilt for Hannah :)

Lots of Gentrys- Sally and Marsh from San Antonio, Aaron, Hannah, me and Evette from Colorado

Hannah at 5 months- thanks for the cute outfit Paula Cairns!

At our Farewell Party with Beth and Emily

Last morning in Mississippi- with Chloe, Malorie and Daniel

We made it to Texas! Nana and Mimi Jane took us to dinner at our favorite place in Tyler

Hannah in her super cute skirt made my Aunt Kirsten- thanks!
Our friends Dave and Amy babysat Hannah while we looked for houses in the Mid-Cities on Saturday.

Our last picture with Daddy for 2 whole weeks!

Yep- random pictures.  But my life is feeling very random and very chaotic. I am headed home to Mississippi to pack up our house!  We have a contract on our house and plan (!) to be all packed in 2 weeks.  Then we will be officially homeless, but homeless in Texas.  I actually had to surrender my MS driver's license to get my Texas license last week. Very weird. Enjoy the pics!

P.S.  We have a new niece!  Piper Jane Gentry was born this morning in Denver.  We are so happy to have you in our family!

Hannah and the Grandparents, Part 2
