O Hannah.

Today is Hannah's 16th Birthday. Let the celebration begin!

It was only a few short 15+ years ago that our daughter was faced to figure out her own mode of transportation.  Oh, the days of the swing. Not that she really was ever going to get anywhere, she wasn't quite ready to see the world. She WAS the world. Happy, easy-going baby. She soon realized the jumpy seat contraption was a fail. She wasn't going anywhere in that thing either. Just hard, tiring work.

 

But hey, if Santa can make Reindeers fly, I'll bet Hannah can make Bears fly too...

Forget the bears, fooled again! Taking matters into her own hands, Hannah figured out that perhaps she needed to step it up and learn to use the legs and feet god gave her. FREE to be mobile, at last. Well sort of free. She soon got tired of having to do all the work...

so she turned to Giraffe's...

...and wagons to haul her around.

She would even  be so bold as to hitch an occasional ride on a cousin if she had to. All for the sake of being comfortably mobile with her life's journey. Dad's always come in handy as a default too. She even thought driving a tractor might be something she could handle... but really always went back to the wagon when all else failed. Winters, when wagons had to be put away, she would turn to the sled, only to make her younger cousin push her...

Well, Hannah is all grown up now. Do you think she will rely on her Dad to give her rides anymore?   

Stay tuned....
