Thinking of Hanna

We had a great day off today spending some time out and about. While out we checked out a few things for bringing Hanna home and then went out to Build A Bear to make her a teddy bear. Joshua, Micah and Caia were off the charts excited to go and make a bear for her. It seemed to be a great exercise in thinking about her and praying for her. They did a great job of trying to think through, "what would Hanna want?" They even tried out giving the bear hugs to make sure it was soft enough for her. This definitely was a bear built with love. It even has 3 hearts...one from each of the kids. Of course we also had to tell everyone we came in contact with in the store who the bear was for and where she was coming from. It was very sweet.



So, here are the kiddos presenting Hanna's bear which affectionately is named "Hope."

After we left Build a Bear, Joshua said to me, "I can't wait until she comes home." Yes my son, neither can we.
