Officially in the toddler zone

-
Today was a monumental day for the Hanson Crew - we sold our last big baby item! Bought in 2000 when we were pregnant with Ashlyn and used for all 4 little ones - our white crib is no longer here. In a way it was very exciting to think back to all those days and to look forward to all the days to come. In another way it was crazy to think there will not be another little one crying all night here. We got to visit some friends who had a newborn yesterday and when we left the hospital, we both looked at each other and asked if we missed that size and those days...funny enough, we both laughed and said nope, let's go out to lunch before we have to go get the rest of our wild crew from Grandmas!!!

(By the way, Jonathan still loves his toddler bed - not one night have we had an issue with him going to bed or getting out - for those with little ones, this is totally a 4th child thing I think, our others cried for nights and fought staying in those things forever. Praise God for such an easy transition)

Josie was a piece of cake too and she was our #1 child. We just told her "this is your big girl bed and don't get out of it until we come get you" she said "okay!" and that was that! Good for you guys, that is just awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our 2024 Christmas Update

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
