JOY!!!

James 1:2  
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials
Well, the last two weeks have been very "joyous" at our house!! :)  As you all know from one of my previous posts, Hannah had her spica cast removed on August 28th after seven weeks in.  On Saturday, September 7th (one and a half weeks out of the cast) she fell off of the bed and BROKE HER LEG!!!  Yep you guessed it.....back in a cast.  
Praise the Lord that it is just the leg that is casted this time!!

So it has been back to the "boom bag" as Hannah calls it for the past two weeks.


Thankfully her pain is much better now, and she is back to scooting and wanting to be held. :)

I know this little stinker will have one heck of a testimony to tell one day.


We go back to the Dr. on Oct 7th, and hopefully the cast will come off and we will be cleared.  Maybe this time we can make it a whole lot longer cast free!!!!!  Here lately there has just about been more "joy" at this house than this Mama can take. ;)

Correction!

It has only been five months! :) :) That just proves how crazy I really am.....or heck I'm really on the ball.  Getting things done early! ;).  Anyway it seems like she has been with us a lifetime and I wouldn't trade a minute.

A Whole Half of a Year

Today marks six months since our Gotcha Day.....six months to the day that I first got my hands on my sweet baby girl! :) :) :) Stephen and I were looking through our China pics last night, and it is amazing to see the difference only six months has made.

Six moths ago Hannah was scared to death and really didn't want any part of us.

Today she is bubbly, happy, smiley, and says "hold you" about a million times a day. 
("hold you" is what she says when she wants us to hold HER)
(9-1-2013)

Six months ago Hannah had no idea what a family was all about......today she has one of her very own.

Six months ago no-one had any idea that Hannah's hip was dislocated.....today she has made it through surgery, a spica cast, and is on the road to recovery.


Six months ago Hannah had no idea where Georgia was.....today she can say GO DAWGS with the best of 'um.

Six months ago I thought I knew, but I really had no idea how much love I could have for a precious little girl that was born in my heart.


WE LOVE YOU HANNAH GRACE MCDUFFIE!!!!!!!
HAPPY SIX MONTHS
