Recently I was let in on a little secret about my little girl. Sometimes when Hannah sees that her 'Daddy is in a mood,' she will ask me a question about China, because she knows from experience that when I start to ramble on about this particular favorite subject, it calms the savage beast in me. It's very endearing, and humbling, to see this wise and precocious behavior in my daughter. Hannah is a peacemaker, and a loyal friend(again, learned from her Mom). Anyone who would not befriend Hannah is simply clueless. Kani often reminds me that it was Hannah who made friends with me first, before Kani and I became an item(Hannah and I were both born at Scott&White in Temple!)setting in motion where we are as a family today.
There are many things I could learn from my little girl. She lets events roll off her back. She does not dwell on the past. She does not suffer fools gladly...she offers them kindness and understanding instead. When Hannah enters the room, Chasey's face lights up like a Christmas tree. It's God's providence that Chasey has not 2 but 3 caretakers to help him grow.
On Saturday, Hannah will go to salon with Mom to get highlights done. I know it is a big deal for her, and I will take pictures and post them to show Hannah's 'new look.' In the near future, it will be difficult for anyone not to notice Hannah when she enters a room. When the attention starts, I will have to hold back the beast in me again. (No Northland boys.) But that's only the outside of Hannah. The most beautiful part of her has always been her heart.

So Hannah, how do the highlights look? Are you excited about your new look? Dad, beating the boys away from the phone and the door bells?
You are such a precious child from God and I hope you realize have valued you are in God's site and other around you. Use your God given talent for a tool to speak of God's love for everyone.
Can hardly wait to see the new due.......
