Can't believe it took so long to find a photo of just me and Hannah - maybe that's what happens when you are the 5th child!!
28 months after Eliza was born, Hannah Rebekah joined our family. And we were so happy to welcome her. Once again Dad just wanted one name, but I held out for a middle name. Finally he said "Okay, as long as the spelling of Rebekah is the biblical spelling!"
Hannah was many things the others had not been - a climber for one thing. And she insisted on flipping her binky over, so she eventually had to give up the orthodontic version for the regular kind. She had to wear casts for the first six months to straighten out her feet. But she learned to crawl and walk anyway - and the Dr. Brown splint she had to wear at night didn't keep her from being a champion sleeper. Her head hit the pillow and she was out!
Hannah was a spunky little girl. And she was not easily deterred from her mission. When she kept asking me for help on her Science Fair project, she finally said, "Can I just use anything I can find in the garage?" She has maintained this can-do attitude - and has lots of successes to show for it!
Hannah is a woman of many talents - and she continues to amaze us with her accomplishments!! Maybe that's what happens when your name is a palindrome!!
