Coming Soon: A New Book

Posted by on
If you enjoyed the poem I wrote last September, Did Jesus Have a Puppy ?, you will delight in the book version that has been beautifully illustrated by the daughter of a close friend.  The book will be released soon but I wanted to share what we have thus far. The illustrations are complete and the cover is nearly finished. I'm still working on finishing up the interior and adding a few surprises just for fun. If you'd like to know when the book is live and available for purchase, email me and I'll let you know the day before. Thanks as always for reading and a huge thank you to Karah B. (14 yrs old) for creating such wonderful, warm, spiritually uplifting illustrations to accompany the words. Did you enjoy this post? Never miss a blog post from James M. Hahn by following now.   My new book of cryptogram puzzles " Secret Messages from the Saints " is available now.    Click here to read more from James M.

Saturday evening with Catherine

Posted by on
Nicole and I went to visit today and we took a lot of good pictures. We both held her but she was out the whole time. I think they wear her out with changing diapers, IV lines, etc., plus newborns sleep twenty-something hours a day. I can remember Nicole having a hard time keeping our boys awake to nurse. Anyway, here are some more pictures, comments below the picture...

Baby by James, Nicole and God. Hat by Grandma Hahn.


They took the tube out of her mouth yesterday but had to put it back in. The tube drains her stomach and they will take it out when the fluid is clear. After that they will try feeding. We hope it will be sometime this week.

Daddy's Hand.

A very proud mom.

Nicole holding Catherine's hand. She (Catherine) has very long fingers.

Beautiful!
The genetic doctors told us that there is definitely some genetic material missing but it is so rare they have neither a name nor an idea of what it may mean. They want to follow her closely as she grows to see what effects, if any, it may have. I think she may super powers - the ability to soften the hearts of every person who looks upon her!

I finally decided to hold her. I was too afraid of unplugging her or something but Nicole talked me into it. I'm glad I did. It was one of the most memorable events of my life.

Thanks for the prayers!

She's just gorgeous. I continue to remember her in my prayers.
