Hanna's 5th Birthday..... and Update.

Sorry for the lack of updates, things have been very hectic- my dad is still in the ICU and things change daily it seems. He is having many issues- including lung and kidney problems, but has recently started dialysis and today he had to get a tracheotomy to alleviate the ventilator. His vitals for the most apart are stable- but it is still a very slow and unsure path. Please continue to pray for him- I just know this can not be his time. Thank you for everyone's support during this time.

This past week my baby turned 5! FIVE, oh my- it just sounds so old! I can't believe it- this year we had such a great time with our big girl.
On her actual birthday Daddy surprised her and took the day off work, we went to Splash Island and had a blast.


Afterwards we went out to dinner at her favorite place Red Robin, they sang to her- she loved that!

We did something very special after dinner. She took such a big step---she asked if, at 5, she could get her ears pierced!!! We ventured to Claire's and she did so well.


For her party she chose a Cinderella theme this year in honor of our upcoming trip to Disney World. So, we had a royal celebration complete with a court of princess' and knights! Decorated Tiara's, swords and shields, pinned the tiara on Cinderella and had a pinata... I think this was her favorite party yet!





With the party over, we are getting ready for some school things, spending time with my Dad and heading home to see Joe's family this weekend. But I am so excited to say that our August ans September are hardly booked at all- that is such great news for us!!!!
