Hannah,

you have really impressed me these last two weeks. I see such a change in you. Im sure its because even though we are missing so many people back home, you are happy to have your family back in a normal setting. You love having your daddy home. You have really grown close to Owen. You guys are two peas in a pod. You ALWAYS want to hold him, feed him, play with him, or drag him across the room by his legs. But you are really a great big sister. We read to him, we do puzzles with him and make him alot of food in your kitchen.
You and I have grown closer too. We spend alot of time together these days and we both have more patience and are so much more relaxed since we dont have crazy schedules like before. If we stay in our pj's all day and paint, then its a good day! We have no where to be and no one to see (sadly) than eachother so we are best buds these days. You are a great kid, Hannah. You have your moments, but dont we all. You are loving, strong willed, wild, and all you want to do is play- you have an incredible playful heart. We have lots of dance parties at night, we bake, we drive your car, we eat lots of snacks and we're enjoying this time together. Im proud of you. I thought this would be harder on you but really are stronger than you think. You are brave and resilient. Thank you for showing me that we can do this. I hope we grow closer and will be best buds forever.

Im proud of you Hannah- thank you for being you.
