The Hanna Family

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

We took an impromptu vacation this weekend to Redondo Beach in Torrance, CA. It was the best therapy I have had in months. Shane was down in Los Angeles Friday and my dad was flying out Saturday from LAX so we decided Friday morning, let's get a hotel on the beach and spend the weekend! It was so fun having something to look forward to that took us away from the doldrums of the every day at home. We took the boys out to the Pier and enjoyed the beautiful view and ate good seafood, etc. The boys were very well behaved and slept well in their pack n' plays that the hotel provided. I was so proud of them and it was amazing to feel like a "normal" family!!

It was our last hurrah before the RSV season starts. I included photos of our great family vacation. Grandpa was able to join us for Friday evening and part of Saturday before flying home. It was fun to have him with us! We look forward to seeing you again on Friday Grandpa and Grandma to celebrate the first birthday of Noah and Jonah!

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."
