Babies' First Christmas

The three babies had their first Christmas this year. They we all three very tired at this point and as you see below Hannah didn't make it through all of the festivities (Catherine didn't either). They had a great time and we took TONS of pictures.
For more pictures check out Jonathan and Julie's blog

December or May?

The red brick house, in the background of the picture with Daniel, is our house. The parking lot leads to the park by our house.

Hannah's first 1st Christmas

Daddy reading the Christmas Story from her Bible

Seeing all of her presents! We tried to get her to walk to them but no luck - she crawled.

Opening her first gift - she got bored with it and so Daddy had to finish for her.

Looking at the Little People Barn from Grandad and Grandma

Playing with her Little People Nativity from Mommy and Daddy and playing with her horse from the barn. She loves Little People and these are the first ones that she actually owns.

Merry Christmas!

Hello all. We would like to wish you a Merry Christmas. We started the festivities early this year because this is the only night that the 3 of us will be alone until Christmas. So we gave Hannah our present and one from Grandad and Grandma, and Santa came early too! Enjoy the pictures!

Hair Part 2

HAIR!

Hannah's hair is getting longer and longer, which means we have to be more creative in what we do with it! I have pulled it back in a small pony tail (or bun) a couple of times. It is very cute! The pictures on the next post show what happens when you take it down! It goes wild and there is no taming it! You have to put a hat on her if you leave the house! The other style is with a headband just pulling it back out of her face. Both are cute - one is easier than the other so you will see that style more often. She hates to have her hair brushed! So it becomes difficult!

Good News

Good news - I have the internet again! So I will be posting pictures soon. Hannah took her first steps on Tuesday but she refuses to do it anymore. She did it all day Tuesday and some on Wednesday and hasn't since! She did the same thing with rolling over and saying mama - she does it a few times and then won't do it again!

Look for pictures soon - I have to get my camera program installed first.

Christy

Elasti Girl

Hannah had a blowout at Grani's and she was already in her "backup" outfit that I carry in her diaper bag. Grani didn't have any extra clothes all she had was a Halloween costume we bought for Elam tonight at Wal-mart for $1.00. So we dressed her like Elasti Girl and she was so cute I had to post a picture.













Also an update on us: Daniel and I joined a church today (rather not post identifying info on the blog so I won't tell you the name) but Daniel will be the student minister at this church. We really like the church and are glad to now have a church home since leaving our beloved church in Louisville. We had a lockin Friday night with the youth and college and had a good time getting to know the students.

9 Month Pictures

We went to Portrait Innovations yesterday and got Hannah's 9 month pictures. Here are two of the poses. Mom went with me so you know we bought more pictures than I would have! And we got the CD with all the poses on it!

Temporary Lapse in Service

Hey Everyone,

We got our new house and moved in this weekend! This means that I will not have internet for awhile so I'm not sure how often I will be able to post new things and read e-mails. So if you don't hear from me for a few weeks you know why!

Here is a portion of our house - I can't find my camera right now so I don't have any other pictures to post but this one of Hannah's room in the process of being painted. That is one wall the other three walls are green. My Dad did all the work by the way!

Happy Halloween

Hannah wanted to wish you a Happy Halloween.



































Look Ma No Hands!

Won't Believe It Till You See It!

MEET JOSIE!















That's right, we are crazy and we did buy a puppy today! When we woke up this morning that was not in the plan - it was very spur of the moment. We looked in the paper and found a puppy for a good price and called about it and she was gone. Well, since we had already called about one we called about another - all sold out - the third time was a charm - they had two puppies left a male and a female. Daniel liked the male and I liked the female so it was a hard decision but we ended up deciding on the female. She is a Shih Tzu (like Job) she is all black with a small patch of white on her chest.

In other news: we got our house. We should move in this week (the majority of the moving will be Saturday but we will move some stuff and paint during the week). And as you can see in the picture below Hannah is crawling! She is also standing up very well. Today they counted about 12-15 seconds of standing without falling.

Bath Time!

Hannah has discovered how fun bath time can be! Just look at those eyes!
 

Visiting Union

Here are pictures from our recent trip to Union. We got to see some of our very good friends from college. We also got to play a game of spades! Hannah LOVED playing with Ms. Kathy's dog, Zoe!
