New Discoveries




Hannah is making new discoveries every day! She intently studies the world around her and you can almost see her brain processing everything. We took her to Florida this month, where she walked up and down the beach waving (Miss America style) to everyone she saw. She also splashed into the ocean when she saw a little girl playing in the waves, much to our surprise because she wasn't too fond of the water initially. She gained confidence quickly and even started "jumping" off the side of the pool into our arms by mid-week. I couldn't believe it! We had a lovely family vacation. Hannah is growing up so fast! Her language is developing rapidly, adding about 5 new words each week. She kisses Daddy goodbye each morning when he goes to work and runs to the window to watch his car pull away. She gives us both kisses as if to make sure one parent doesn't feel left out. She still loves music and spending as much time outside as possible.

Our Family

Andrew and Jamie met while she was visiting New Zealand and volunteering with children's ministry at Shore Community Church. Our matchmaker, a dear friend named Robyn, took every opportunity to make our paths cross and long story short we quickly realized how lucky we were that she did. We were married in January 2006 and have lived in New Zealand, Georgia, Kentucky, and currently live in Ohio. God blessed us with an amazing little miracle, Hannah Lynn, on December 20, 2009. This blog was started to allow family and friends around the world to see her growing up, even if they don't get to see her as often in person as we'd like. We are very blessed and thank the Lord every day for His amazing gifts to us!
