Hannah

Well it is Hannah's turn and she will be so thrilled to see herself on my 'web site'! With Hannah a picture really does say a thousand words.

She is very girly and loves to be beautiful and to dress up like a princess…

…but she is also a tomboy and just as happy to roll in dirt and play dinosaurs with the boys.

Not that you can't do those things dressed like a princess of course!

She is sweet and caring but her mind and body are equaly active so she has a tendancy to flit around (she has been known to catch flying moths because they seem to move about in the same unpredictable way).

My favorite story about this was just after my Gandfather's funeral. We had gone back to visit the gravesite with my mother. My mom looked over to see Hannah with big tears rolling down her face. When she leanded down to Hannah, Hannah said, "Don't worry Grandma, I'm just sad be cause he was a nice grandpa and now he is under the dirt."

My mom hugged her and started to tell her that she didn't need to worry because he wasn't realy under the dirt when Hannah interupted her and said cheerfully, "Can I go play now?" At least she doesn't have the attention span for the sad stuff either!

I’m Back!

Well I got my peaceful naptimes back so I can actually start posting again. With summer over everybody is back in school but the babies and they are willing to take an afternoon nap. Hannah is in kindergarten and since she is a morning person I recommended afternoon kindergarten for her so she would be as calm as possible!

Silly slumber party

The thing that Hannah wanted the most for her birthday was a sleepover with her cousin Eadie. They are less than two weeks apart in age but don’t get to see each other as often as they might like because my brother’s family lives just far enough away that it is hard to just drop by.

As a birthday present I let them shop for some dressy clothes and then took them out to lunch at IHOP. I just found this picture of them at Sweet Tomatoes when they were both less than a month old. I think this is the last time they went out to a restaurant!

I love how different they are. They picked out their own headbands, dresses, and pancakes and ended up almost opposite with the same basic ingredients! The best part though is how being so different makes them better friends and they don’t mind that the other one doesn’t always agree with them. From the crazy blond curls contrasting with the elegant straight black hair to the bouncy, impulsive temperament combining with the quiet thinker they are very fun to watch!
