HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY ALANA!!!!

It's a big day around the Schmit household. Alana is five years old today! She was born around 10:00 p.m. on August 13, 2003. It is just amazing to us that five years have passed since the day she was born. She sure changed our lives forever and we thank her very much for that. Chris and I dug up some old pictures of her when she was a baby. It was just wonderful seeing them all again. It brought tears to my eyes for sure. Enjoy them because we sure did!

This one is from the day after she came home from the hospital.


Don't I look lovely????? At least Alana looks adorable.


These were the grand kids at the time of Erica's wedding. L to R - Alex, Kala, Jessica & Shane. Alana was not happy during pictures.


Alana and I spent the evening in the kitchen of the Hall because the music was so loud at the dance for Erica's wedding.

Alana and Grama.

Alana and Grampa.

Just some random cute pictures.

I don't know what it is with dishwashers, but Alana and Skyler both loved them. And you can see Alana's ponytail we put on top of her head. She wore that all the time. So cute!

She passed out on the back of our couch. Not sure how that happened but it must have been comfortable.

She was always a messy baby when it came to eating.

This is one of our favorite pictures of her. She just looks so darn sweet and innocent. We wish it was in better focus, but it still looks cute.
