Powerful: Derek + Laura

Warning: This is long and is written in detail as it's meant to be my record of her birth.  Well it's been a long time since I've blogged. Life gets busy and it's hard to keep up. However, I found myself wanting to record the details of Hazel's birth story. She's already 4.5 months old and I am finding that I am starting to forget small things. I want to write them all down before I forget. So here I am, sharing our story, so that I can remember and share it with her someday.

Our sweet girl is 18 months (actually almost 20 months at this point). I've become so slow at blogging with such a busy toddler on my hands.

Guess I'll need to get her some dress up ones in the near future. Can't believe she is already starting to love that stage. She is growing too fast. Entered Nursery at church and you aren't really sure how you feel about it Talking a ton! Seriously, I swear...
