No wonder we love it!

This just gives you a little glimpse of the fun we get to have every day living with Shannon, Arnie and the kids. I think Hannah's going to have a tough time being away from her cousins when we eventually make the move out! Here she is being made into a "Hannah Sausage." (This is something Shannon and Arnie used to do with Kori and Kasy when they were babies!)

The Best Laugh Ever!


This is the laugh that melts my heart. There is nothing like hearing your daughter laugh with such joy! Here is Hannah having some great fun with her cousins Kori and Kasy!

Our Sugarland Girl

Steve got me the "Sugarland" live CD/DVD for my birthday. Hannah has found one song in particular to be her favorite. It is called "All I Want to Do." She is so darn cute when she sings along and dances to the DVD. It's dark and difficult to see, but you can get the idea! Wouldn't Sugarland be so proud?

Happy Halloween!

Here is our Little Pumpkin! She hopped right into the costume, no problem at all! She even wore the hat all night long too!
Here she is trick-or-treating at her first house!

After visiting a few houses she was ready to ride. She wouldn't let go of that Twix bar though!

I knew she was chewing on the wrapper...little did I know, she got it opened and managed to eat the ENTIRE candy bar! Boy was she happy...and MESSY!
It sure was a chilly Halloween. She stayed bundled in her stroller when she wasn't trick-or-treating! Brrrr!!! What a fun night it was!

Strong Museum of Play

Hannah and I took our first trip to the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester. What a blast! We were there for 2 hours and only saw two displays! She had so much fun playing!
Here she is playing at the "sand" table. Excpet it wasn't sand! It was little plastic beads! So cool!
She was determined to figure out a way to get the balls out of here!
Hannah loves playing with balls, whether they are small or twice her size! (I think her daddy might be in luck. She seems like she's going to have to be an athlete!) She loved rolling the balls down the little tracks!

These were doors that had animals for each letter of the alphabet. After each one she opened you could hear her go "OOoohhh!!! And then she would look at me and point to them, like "See Mommy?"
Here she is driving in Elmo's Taxi. It took a little convincing to get her in there! She warmed up to the idea though and drove all over town!
We ended up getting a year family pass to the Strong Museum of Play because Hannah enjoyed it so much. I have a feeling we will be spending many winter days there!

Fall Fun

Here are some pictures from what we've been doing this fall! A little random, but still shows you how Hannah is growing!
Here we are in the corn maze at Wickham Farms. We spent the afternoon there with Shannon and the kids enjoying the maze, mini golf, and great snacks!
Hannah helped mommy blow out the candles on her birthday cake!
She was big enough to help Papa with the leaves this year! She didn't really care to jump in them at all, but helping her cousins sure was a hit!
