If you want a good idea of what our little Hannah's personality is like, just take a look at her attempt to console Mommy by patching together the broken pot. Lots of scotch tape. As you might have guessed, she is incredibly intuitive and sensitive to the moods of those around her. If possible, she tries to lighten my load and her efforts are becoming increasingly helpful. She is also a work horse. I am astounded what her 3ft6in, 38 pound body can do. Today, without any prompting, she carried two baskets of laundry from the basement to the living room. She then informed me that the wet clothes had been transferred to the dryer and all I had to do was "turn the thing that makes it go on". She also helped shovel our very large driveway twice today. I used the large scoop while she followed behind with a shovel. I was truly amazed at how much her efforts actually contributed to the overall job. She never seems to tire and told me today that she was such a big help because she had "too much energy to get out." She has also taken over the role of pouring bottles and keeps both of her little brothers well supplied. This is one area which we will have to work on in regard to Benjamin (2.5 yrs)! As the boys mound up around me, I am continually thankful for this little girl whose personality shines like a gem within our home.

Jacob was riding a trike through the snow...
