The Hanna Family

Photos of the blessing from Sunday. It was tough getting good photos as both boys had minds of their own and Jonah wasn't happy about being in his outfit for long. The bottom photo is of my entire family including my sister from Washington, D.C. The top photo includes all the brethren who participated in the blessing, including a good former roommate's husband, Curt. I lived with Magen back east when she was dating Curt right before they got married. I haven't seen them since Shane and I got married a few years ago. They were able to attend as they were in LA for a convention. It was wonderful having their support as well as Jen from Children's of Los Angeles, the NICU nurse who was Primary for Jonah.

Thank you all who attended and supported us.

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."

Mormon 9, verses 15-19

"Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my Praise."
