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!

Baby shower at Veritas

Passed out from excitement!

The parents and faculty at Aaron's school held a baby shower for Hannah a few weeks ago.  Everyone was so generous and happy to meet Hannah!

Hannah's first photo shoot

Here are some of the pictures that a sweet friend in Memphis took of Hannah when she was just 5 days old.  She was so tiny!  We love these pictures- thanks Emily!

8 weeks old

Hannah is 8 weeks old today.  Where, oh where, did the time go?  And for those of you interested in vital stats: Hannah is growing like a weed- she weighs 9 pounds 15 ounces and is 21 inches long.

Pray for Mark

Dear friends,
Please pray for my father-in-law Mark.  It has been a pretty rough day.  We are waiting to hear what the hospice workers have to say and what can be done for some sudden new symptoms.
Thank you,
Leslie

Bath time

Here are a few shots of Hannah's first bath at home.  As you can tell, she was not the biggest fan.  However, she has grown to like it a little more and will soon be having fun in her new pink bathtub. 

More Easter pictures

Yay Easter!  Or maybe, please stop taking my picture, Momma!
