Thanks Alicia in Colorado Springs for the outfit!

Hannah loves bath time and looks so cute wrapped in a towel!

Playing with Daddy's beard is so much fun

Just because!

Hannah went to the doctor today.  She weighs 13 pounds and 12 ounces and is 24 1/2 inches long.  According to her doctor, that is at the 50% mark at height and weight.  Hannah also received 3 shots which she was NOT thrilled about at all!  The doctor also said we could start trying rice cereal.  Oh my, what an adventure that will be!

In other news: We had a realtor open house today and got lots of positive comments.  My Mom is here this week has given me the gift of sleep (she has the baby monitor!).  She is also babysitting Hannah and her other grandkids off and on.  We also plan to pack a bit during the week.

We made it into the CCA Tuesday note!  Pretty exciting stuff for us.  Aaron will be traveling out there next week to set up his office and do some work for a few days.  We actually have an open house (to show off our house) during the time he will be gone, so pray for me as I will be on my own to get everything done.

That's about all around here.  Enjoy the current pictures of sweet Hannah!

4 Months Old

Hannah is 4 months old today.  Here is a picture from last week, when she was 16 weeks old. Yeah, the weeks and the months don't really match right now, but we will get there.  Enjoy!

Happy Father's Day

Happy 1st Father's Day!  Love, Leslie and Hannah

A Better Place, Part 2

Malorie, Dad, Me, Grandma and Morgan in 2006

At my wedding- 11 years ago

The Dickinson Family at Morgan & Robyn's Wedding

My grandmother passed away last night after a long battle with both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease.  Hannah Catherine is named in honor of Maudie Catherine Morgan Dickinson Gardner. 

I lived next to my Grandma for many years and learned so much from her- hospitality, crafting and loving/serving the Lord.  We cooked together, made holiday decorations together and sang in our church choir together.  Grandma will be greatly missed down here on earth, but the entire Dickinson/Byrd/Morgan family is rejoicing that she is in glory with our Lord Jesus Christ with a restored mind and body singing His praises all the day long.

Field Day

May 4 was Field Day at Aaron's school.  They went out to a park to play games, cook out and have some fun time away from school.  Hannah and I were able to hang out with them for a while.  Lots of students wanted to hold Hannah! P.S. Hannah's face was scratched all by herself some time during the night before!  Silly girl- too bad she is continuing the practice.

It's Decided

We are moving to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.  Aaron will be working at Covenant Christian Academy in Colleyville.  He graduated from CCA in 1995 and is looking forward to all his new responsibilities there.
We put our house on the market yesterday.  We are cleaning/packing/de-cluttering like crazy!  And while we don't know when our house will sell, we know that Aaron will have to start work on August 2.  Pray for a quick sale and wisdom on the whole moving issue in general.

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!

Rocky Mountain National Park

At the falls with Nana

Passed out from excitement

Nana and Hannah in her cute denim jacket!

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!
