As I sit her reflecting on the last two years of our lives, it has been such a whirwind...but at the same time it has been two of the best years of my life! Children are blessing beyond what I could ever have imagined! I do not think that there has been one time that I have thought it was "hard" to be a mom or that I wished that I wasn't a mom. The hard times were when we had Andre, Christopher, and Kaley...but most people do not have 5 children 3 & under in their home at the same time. Anyway, I am so thankful for our Ada Grace and Ethan and pray that one day (hopefully sooner than later) the Lord will allow us to have more children!
In the mean time, I thought I would share some picture of Ada Grace's first month or so...right after we got our first digital camera.
Ada Grace at only 13 days old...this is the day that I was working at taking her picture and getting a good one for her adoption anouncement
I have always loved this photo, however as she grows I see more to it than I used to...it is her basically telling us that she is going to try and do it her way no matter how much more difficult it is!

This outfit is just waiting for another little girl to wear, it is Jason an my favorite from this point in her life. We have always LOVED lilac on her though...it is still our favorite!
Many of you will rocognize this one, it is the one we chose for the annoucement
So tiny and CUTE! Now Ada Grace is calling other babies cute...all by herself
She has always had big hands...looks like Mommy should hae put more lotion on them here
This is the first time that cousin Alexa met Ada Grace. She would have held her for hours if we wouldn't have had to drive home a 7 hour trip. The thing I remember the most was when Alexa just kep turning Ada Graces hands over to see that the underneath (palm side) was close to like hers, but the top (back of the hand) was so different. Then when it came time for a diaper change, the tights came off and she saw that it was the same with her feet. The precious memories! Alexa still is the one that is the closest to Ada to this day!
This was before Ethan, Sophie, and Katie were born. So it was all the cousins at this poit...they were happy to have another Hartung cousin! Notice Alexa is the one holding Ada Grace...
So I hope you have enjoyed this blast from the past, it is hard for me be believe that my babies are not babies any more. They are toddlers and so much fun to be around...I love them to pieces! I love being a Mommy!
