9 Years Ago . . .

Nine years ago . . . at precisely 5:00pm . . . the Lord blessed us with a 4lb 11oz one month early beautfiul little girl. There were multiple months of bed rest . . . 25 hours of labor . . . one hour of pushing . . . 7 days in the NICU . . . and worth every extra worry, doctors appointment, effort and prayer.

Her name means Grace for without God's hand upon her, she wouldn't be here. She has the most tender spirit, loving heart and thoughtful demeanor. She amazes us every day with her intelligence, maturity and sweetness. She is an avid book reader, incredible piano player and caring older sister. She loves to play basketball, soccer and golf. She is great at taking care of her younger niece and nephew. She is a loyal and thoughtful friend. She was an answer to prayer. She made me a Mommy and Travis a Daddy . . . roles we prayed for our whole lives. I am so grateful for her and am so blessed to be here every step of the way as she continues to shape and grow into a beautiful young lady. Hannah Grace Marsh - you are loved!
