A Great Weekend
I did get Hannah Friday, no problems encountered. We had a wonderful weekend. Nan's birthday is this Saturday, but I have to work, so we celebrated this weekend. I made her cake (it was to be Cinderella) she was looking through my cake pans and decided she wanted a horse. I baked the cake and thought she had gone to bed. The cake had just cooled enough for me to take it out of the pan and start decorating it (around 10 PM) when I heard little feet coming toward the kitchen. Hannah popped in and said, "I'm ready to decorate my cake." We iced, and decorated her cake. She would dip her knife into the icing, take a lick and spread on the cake. Then she took sprinkles and put them all over the cake. She had a sheet of letters and numbers for spelling out "Happy Birthday" and she put ALL of them all over the cake. I had bought her a "4" birthday candle. That was put on the cake along with a box of 24 colored candles. When she got through, she said, "That's enough, I'm done. Isn't it pretty?". She was so proud of her cake. We had family over after worship, ate dinner, had birthday cake and homemade ice cream (pink) and played in the pool. Hannah had a great time and didn't want to go back to Delilah's.
We got to keep Nan until Sunday evening. We all took her back and that was the hardest thing I've had to do so far. It tore Tara up for Delilah to come out to the car and get Nan as if she were her child and she had just been with us for a weekend visit. To let Hannah go back broke Tara's heart. Just a little while longer and all this will be over.
On a lighter note, as a grandmother, I did my job. I started a tradition when Hannah was born. On each birthday, so the other child didn't get their feelings hurt, I would get the other grandchild a gift or two. Now I have 3. So on Hannah's birthday (or at least the day we celebrated), she was the star and got the most gifts. The other two got gifts also. In two weeks we will celebrate Maddie's 1st birthday. She will be the star, but the other two get gifts also. This will end as they get older. It is about time for it to stop for Haley anyway, she is already 9.
I want to thank all of you for your continued support and prayers. We have felt them through the working of God. We will never be able to thank you enough for keeping us before His throne. We love you all.

I think when either your older or youngest brothers has a birthday, the middle brother should get a gift regardless of what you do for those other two guys!
So glad you got to spend some time with Hannah! What a gift to you on her birthday.
