6 Weeks Today!

Hello again!  Today marks 6 weeks since Hannah's birth.  She is doing awesome in my opinion.  We have had multiple nights where she has slept from 11:00 pm until 5:00 am!  Hallelujah!  We are really starting to notice her patterns and mannerisms and loving getting to know more about our little angel.  Her morning feedings are followed by a little dad time before he goes to work and then butterfly time.  The butterflies are on the mobile her Mimi got her and she absolutely loves them!  She follows each one until she can't see it anymore and then, hello, another one appears.  She is surprised every time a new butterfly appears.  I just stand and watch her.  She smiles her big smile and it makes my day.  There is nothing better than seeing your child happy.  A moment God grants us parents as reassurance that LIFE IS GOOD.  Hannah is starting to make new noises.  They mostly resemeble a "coo" or a bird's "squeak".  She is definitly trying to talk to us.  Mama gave her her first feel of the grass.  I just let her little feetsies touch the cool ground.  We will be spending a lot of time outdoors as she gets older.  I'm just preparing her early!  

For Easter we packed up (a lot of bags) and headed east to Hideaway Lake.  Kent and Sheri have a beautiful lake house there.  No easter egg hunts this year, but she'll be ready to find an egg or two come next year.  We had a good time and Hannah reeeealy enjoyed the long car ride.  

If you don't care to read or talk about politics, stop here.  However if you'd like to hear about a pretty cool dude possibly running for President read on.  Craig and I are following the progress of the potential 2012 Presidential candidate, Ron Paul.  He is a republican from Texas with a unusually large "young" following.  He is the leading advocate for restoring real freedom and liberty for our country.  He stands for limited government and a return to sound monetary policies.  He advocates the individual's rights.  If it's your business, the government should stay out of it.  Personal or public business.  He believes that our country should be run by following the Constitution and principles laid out by our forefathers.  Real benefits can only come from following principles.  Craig is reading his book, The Revolution, and I just started reading his latest book, Liberty Defined.  I will post my ideas on the book and I'm sure Craig will post a few blogs on this subject as well.  

I also started piano lessons today.  I had splayed when I was younger, but never took it serious.  I did well for my first day back and am so excited to practice and get better.  I am starting with the same book I sued 15 years ago!  It's awesome!  With good practice and patience I can jam with Craig when he plays his guitar and someday soon Hannah can sing!    

Well, my time to write is up!  Hannah is ready to eat.  Thanks for reading.

Be Happy
