Memorial Day Weekend

We had lots of visitors this weekend! Helen and Dave drove from Michigan. Pictured are Keturah, Heidi, Helen, Dave, and Betty.





Then my brother Ryan and his wife Michelle came for a visit. They brought us lunch and enjoyed some time with their new niece.


Next we made our first trip out with Marcella to Kyle and Abby's for a cookout. Several Keystoners were there to meet the miracle baby! It was great to finally get out of the house.





Monday, we were joined by friends and neighbors for the Memorial Day parade in Lowell. It went down our street so we watched from the porch. Marcella slept through her first parade and the ceremony afterwards.

We are so glad that she is doing so well. She is a very quite baby. Can't wait to see her.

It was so great to spend a week helping take care of Ella and getting to know and love her!!
She is certainly our "Miracle Girl"! We wish we lived closer so we could see her more often!!

Love,
Grammy and Grandpa

We are so glad to read about your success story with your little girl. We just had a little girl on 7/22/06, she is currently in the NICU at DeVos. Tomorrow we are being transferred to U of M for her heart surgery. She has a severe CoArc and 2 VSD's. She is so small and was born at 36 weeks. It's very scary, and to read about a similar story that came out OK, makes us feel a little better. Again, we are so glad that your little girl is doing so well. We hope she continues to get even stronger.

Thank you again,
Alan and Candice Hansen
