Hana is 5!

(yes i know, her actual birthday is tomorrow.)
i can not believe that hana is 5! i am so not old enough to have a five-year old daughter! every year i re-live her birth... it was long and painful... but totally worth it. it gave us this sweet wonderful child. now, let's not forget that her first 3 (4) years were very trying. she drew on the walls... with poop. she drew on the closet door and dresser with markers, she had to have her diaper packing taped onto her at naps so she would not take it off. but through those trying years, hana grew into a wonderful child... girl actually. she is very willing to please, fun to be around, and helpful to her sisters. she has grown a lot. in fact her clothes are no longer in the baby side. she is now in a girls small. she is now in a full time preschool. she is testing well above her age. where has the time gone? it seems only yesterday we found out we were pregnant. but she is no longer a baby... she is a girl!

to add a hana-ism...
i was letting the girls play outside while i was fixing dinner. on the way out, while closing the door hana said "this is mom's time with out kids. sometimes mommies need time with no kids." say it again sista!
