This is our friend Hannah Virginia Branch, everybody. She is almost four. She was just about six months old at our wedding, and for about two years while she was a wee little one, Monica took care of her for a day or two each week. Now she's getting to be a very big girl. She likes music--especially kid-size music like ukeleles, as well as Irish drums (sorry, Mike and Eryn, but it's only to be played at band practice, remember). She also likes her new little sister Caroline Emerson, dancing, cooking in the living room on her Christmas kitchen, drawing, finger painting, walking on the beach in Florida, Funky the Monkey, and Olivia the Pig. She just recently had her first haircut, and her first dance lesson. By all accounts, both went very well. When she learned that Aunty Monica had a baby in her belly, and that it was going to be a boy, she asked her mom (our good friend Eryn) if taking care of a boy was different than taking care of girls. "We'll all have to learn how to take care of a baby boy," Eryn replied. Hannah's response: "Aunty's very smart about how to take care of babies." Thank God one of us will be. Hee hee.

This is a great photo! It's such fun that you share this special relationship. We can hardly believe that the baby girl at your wedding is this lovely young lady. Vicki and Brad
I think you're both going to be smart about taking care of this little one. You'll be surprised how soon you're the experts on your little guy and can change his diaper in the dark. B&V
It's very reassurring to me that Hannah thinks I'm "a good learner." :)
