Mary

Mary
Happiest when I can let go and sink into the moment, I am a lucky mama to three darling littles you will meet below...

Little Hannah Lamb

Little Hannah Lamb
Just-turned five, Hannah is my little princess. She loves everything girl and is a model big sister. She takes care of everyone and wants her brother and sister to be happy and included. I love my sweet, responsible, intelligent and beautiful girl!!!

Mr. Michael

Mr. Michael
A three-year old little charmer now, this little man's a perfect gentleman. Opening doors for his mother and giving kisses on the cheek (or the hand!) I certainly can never get enough of my little knight.

Gracie Goose

Gracie Goose
This little darling came to Grace our family! My little baby is fast becoming a toddler in every sense. She's walking (running) and saying new words and animal sounds all the time. I am just grateful she still lets me hold her and snuggle her before she wiggles away....

Hannah Speaks!

12.16.13
Hannah was going to take a nap and Paul said, "Sweet dreams!" Hannah quickly responded, "no, I'm a good girl!" Paul laughed, "I know you're a good girl. I said sweet dreams"
Hannah: "nooooooooo!"

"Not mommy sing" :(

11.3.13
Hannah asks to "do it Hannah self" or simply "Hannah's self"
She pronounces fruit snacks "fruit mwacks" (like a kiss) and says snakes and anything else "sn" the same way. It's adorable.
She can also say "like it" or "no like it" or our favorite "not-that-one!"
10.9.13
Hannah asks for "more some" when she wants more. She also knows that if she wants something we don't have she can ask "buy some?" She loves to sing songs and talk on any "phone" she can make do with saying "hi Nana! Hi Papa!" or my favorite "Hi Nana. Bye!"

Her first words (in order of arrival):

Mama
Aaah!
Dadda
Papa
Beba (Aunt Bekah)
Nana
Sha sha (Aunt Sharon)
Jesus! (whispered excitedly)
Hass-a (outside)
Duh (doggie)
Kee kee (kitty)
