The Hanna Family: Twin Boys!

Twin Boys!

To our surprise we found out we are having not one but TWO boys. For some reason I'd thought we were having at least one girl but to our surprise our technician confirmed we are expecting two little boys.

I am excited. Nervous still about raising two babies at one time but very excited. This is going to be a ride, that is for sure! At least everyone I've told about the boys has told me I will be so grateful because they are much easier to raise then girls.

One sweet sister who has a young son and is expecting her second in December said to me Sunday, "The Lord really needs his missionaries....I just have that feeling." We sure have had a lot of baby boys born in this area in the past year so she may just be right!

You are a good person through and through and these babies will be very blessed to have you for a mother. Congratulations!!!; August 21, 2007 at 10:31 AM

What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term used to describe a problem with movement and posture that makes certain activities difficult. Even though someone who has cerebral palsy has problems moving his or her muscles, this is not because there is something wrong with the muscles or nerves. These difficulties are caused because of problems in the brain. The child might have had an injury to the brain, or had a brain that did not develop properly. These problems can affect the way the brain controls movement and posture.

"But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 9:14

At this time in my life illustrations of the Savior with children are so dear to my heart. When I've thought of Christ and Heavenly Father the past few months I have often thought of them cradling my sweet babies and whispering words of comfort. We will perhaps never understand why these valiant spirits where sent down to such fragile bodies at such a premature time but we do know that God has held them close in his loving embrace over these difficult months.

"God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.

Who shall say that it was not a miracle that by his word the heaven and the earth should be; and by the power of his word man was created of the dust of the earth; and by the power of his word have miracles been wrought?

And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles."
