Hazel's Baptism

Our sweet Hazel was baptized on 12.13.14.  We were so happy to have Mark, Gloria, and my mom all attend Hazel's special day.  Hazel's sponsors were Nate and Laura Hartke, our New York family members and also the lead pastor at St. John's.  It was a very special service--hope you enjoy the pictures.

The Hauans Visit NY

Right after Hazel was born, Grandma Gloria and Papa Mark came to visit for 10 days.  YEAH!  They were so helpful as Haune and I were adjusting to three little ones.  (THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING, HAUANS!)  They stayed very busy playing with the children, cooking, cleaning, and helping out with everything else in between.  We're so grateful!

Welcome to New York!

Awwwww....

We were able to head out to Chesterwoods for some Santa's workshop activities.

The Hauans were able to watch the kids' Christmas program at church, perfect timing.

We celebrated Cal's birthday, Julia's 1/2 birthday, and Hazel's birthday at Chuck E. Cheese.

These two pumpkins love to help with their sister's bath.

They headed up to Canada to check out Niagara Falls.  It was pretty chilly (to say
the least) but they all still enjoyed the view from the beautiful horseshoe waterfall.

O, Canada...

Mark and Gloria were also able to see Julia's Ballet Holiday Showcase.
Here's a picture with Julia next to her buddy Jenna.

Hazel Gene Hauan

We are so very excited to announce that Hazel Gene Hauan came into this world on Sunday, November 30th at 11:38 a.m.  So far, she's a very easy and alert baby.  Big brother and sister are so excited to help and hold her.  We're thankful to be able to spend some time with Mark and Gloria right now--they'll be here until December 14th.  My mom will be also coming back on December 12th so we can all celebrate Hazel's baptism on 12.13.14.  This little girl is loved, that's for sure!  Thanks for all of the texts, phone calls, prayers, and well-wishes!  We feel your support from NY.  Here's our littlest princess:

Just a few minutes old...

"My big sister and big brother love me SOOOO MUCH!"

Hazel brought Julia and Cal big brother and big sister presents. ;)

 

Look at what I came home from the hospital to:  A #1 Mom trophy, a dozen paper
flowers, and pictures from the kids.  Awww!
