Welcome!!!!!

Now that Hannah Faith is home at last, we have decided to combine both of our separate blogs. So, here we are! I do hope that you continue to follow our journey. We have just ordered a hard covered book with all of our blog posts and comments from our journey to Hannah, and once we receive this, we will do the same for Mara's blog.

We have been home over a week now and are very happy to report that we have all settled in to our new routine really well. Despite all of the changes in our little one's life, Hannah has adjusted well to life at home with her new family. We all adore her and it has been wonderful witnessing our girls getting to know one another. Mara-Grace has taken on the role of big sister with great pride! She adores her baby sister and hasn't had any real issues as of yet.

We are so fortunate that Hannah and our family has had a smooth transition. I feel so very blessed and am so thankful.

I have HUGE news today! Hannah took her first step to me when I let go of her hands this morning! We had been putting away some clothes in her bedroom and she was pulling herself up to standing and then walking while holding on to things (crib, dresser, chair etc.). Then I took her hand and she started walking a little. I let go for about 3 seconds and she took two steps to me. She was so proud of her herself- so was I. Poor Mara was in the washroom when the milestone happened:) I am sure a repeat will soon be following!

Thank you for your continued support and kind messages. We are so fortunate. xoxoxo
