You've Come A Long Way Baby


It is hard to believe that a year ago today the longest nine months of our lives had finally come to an end. At 3:39 p.m., on Tuesday, October 10th, Jonathan and I became the proud parents of Hannah Elizabeth Brooks. There are no words to describe the joy one feels as they look upon their child for the very first time. I vividly remember the doctor laying her wet, red, swollen little body on my chest and thinking to myself that she was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! I had no idea how she would take hold of our hearts. Jonathan and I are blessed and honored to be Hannah's parents. The Bible says in Psalm 127:3 "Behold, children are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward." We praise God daily that he chose us to raise Hannah, for she truly is a gift and a reward! Happy birthday Hannah!!! Daddy and I love you so much!
