All the Gentrys and our lawyer Steven Nixon

We got the official adoption decree at 10:30 this morning.  Hannah is now legally a Gentry!

Just for Katie

This post is just for my wonderful friend Katie.  She met us during the Hannah World Tour at the end of our 10 day trip.  Katie could not wait to hold Hannah and I could not wait to see Katie!  We have been friends since our college days and never seem to spend enough time together.  Thanks for braving the snow in Dallas (!) and showering my little girl with gifts and love.  Love you!

First bottle

This was the first bottle feeding that I feed little Hannah.  It was on Feb 25.

Introducing Hannah Catherine

I am proud to introduce you to my daughter, Hannah Catherine Gentry.  She was born February 23 at 7:59 pm, weighed 5 pounds 8 ounces and was 18 inches tall.  Aaron and I were so very fortunate to meet her just 24 hours later at a hospital in Memphis, TN. 

Hannah will be 4 weeks old tomorrow!  I can't believe it.  But I will start posting pictures of her early days.  Thanks so much to everyone who has prayed with us and for us about this wonderful adoption process of our precious little girl.

Kids in socks

Chloe

Burke

Malorie in 2006

What is it with kids and big socks?  I took a picture of Burke wearing his Dad's socks at Christmas.  A few weeks later, Chloe was a my house when she stole some of Aaron's socks from the laundry pile that I was folding and put them on.  When I saw these two pictures, it reminded me of a photo I took of Malorie way back in 2006.  She had taken my socks and put them on (I am not sure what the crazy face is for, maybe it was just Mal being Mal).  Funny stuff.

Happy Birthday Husband

Here is a Happy Birthday wish to my sweet husband.  We have both felt a little crummy this weekend, but I hope he enjoyed the rest.  I also made him a strawberry-blueberry pie (it might rival the delicious treat pictured above eaten while we were in Prague a few years ago).

Monkey girl

I love this picture of Chloe!~ she just looks like the monkey that she is.  She loves to climb and exlore.  She loves to take off her shoes and socks- I think if monkeys wore shoes or socks they would take them off too.  Pulling of her socks, then yelling "Socks!" while running away from Aunt Leslie is a game we play often.
