A Special Day on Tellnard Mountain

Our sweet Hannah FINALLY made her First Communion this past Sunday! I say finally because she has been longing for this day since she was 3 years old. Every now and then we would have to take out the paper and pencil and do the math right down to the week so that she could figure out how much longer she would have to wait to receive "her" Jesus. It was a beautiful day.

Hannah chose her dress and it was so "her". For a little girl who does not like being referred to as pretty, beautiful, etc. and NEVER wants to wear a dress, it was such a treat to see her feeling like a princess. She was downright bubbly when she stepped into the dress that morning.


And here's the whole "gang"! This is the only picture of all 7 of us together and I love that it is in church because that is where I feel closest to our Gabriel who is already with Jesus. Seems like it was only yesterday when Hannah was baptised in this same sanctuary...


Ok... I gotta give credit where it's due... Daddy took this gorgeous shot of Hannah's joy. And he took the first picture of her praying. AND... he took the following picture, which is his very favorite. You don't have to guess why! His two baby princesses in one gorgeous shot.... I may have to give up my day job and hand the camera over to him. He's got a good eye... His pictures remind me of his music... there is a "prayer" element in everything he does that allows him to capture something extra special.

"God Bless you, Sweet Hannah"
We Love You
