Hannah's hair is really growing back now and it is definitely going to be brown. Now our kids each have a different hair color - blond, red and brown.
Hannah has accumulated three necklaces worth of beads from the Beads of Courage program through the hospital. Each bead represents a procedure she's had such as pokes, stays in the hospital, blood transfusions, etc. I explained what some of them mean here. She loves to go through the necklaces and talk about what the beads mean and remember certain times when she was extra brave and got the special beads.
All Hannah wanted for her birthday was a bike. She has loved riding it every day!

Hannah, Aunt Whitney still cant get over how brave you have been! You are one touch chick! I am loving all of your "sassyness" in your picture with the beads of courage necklaces! We love you, Uncle Rocky & Aunt Whitney
The beads are a bitter-sweet reminder of what children with leukemia must endure. At the same time they are a testament to the resilience of children in general.
