Long Time No Pictures. . . . .

I know it's been awhile - but there's a good reason, I promise! Last month when our camera broke, we promptly ordered a new, "better" camera. However, this supposedly better camera was slow to take pictures, and they were kind of grainy looking - simply put, I didn't like it, so I didn't use it :( Sorry. We are in the process of getting the same camera we had before, but until it comes, we're back to using film. Very sad. What I've got here is the small sample of pictures taken with the unwanted camera - it's not much, I know, but it's the best we can do for now :)

Here is Hannah snuggling with mommy on the couch while they were both sick (We all got a lovely case of the stomach flu mid-month - Mommy escaped with a pretty mild bug, but Daddy and Hannah were miserable!)

Misery loves company - Daddy and Hannah when they first started feeling better.
Hannah has been trying to explore the drawers and cupboards - they have locks on them, so she doesn't get very far :)

Hannah meant to visit the puppy, but found Daddy instead!
It looked like so much fun that she just had to try out a carrier closer to her size :)

Hannah was having fun pushing the stools around the kitchen - until she saw the camera and decided to come say Hi.

Mommy and Daddy have had a game of Super Scrabble going all week - Mommy's winning by a LOT, so Hannah decided to help Daddy out. . . . .


But don't worry - Hannah likes to help Mommy, too! She knew Mommy was done with this yarn, so she thought she'd put it away before the kitties could find it :)

We have been getting ready for Christmas, and the kitties have their favortite sleeping spot back (under the tree). Hannah hasn't been too interested in the tree, but she sure is intrigued by the furballs she finds under it!

10 Month Pictures

Our little ladybug is getting so big!!

Happily, we now have a new digital camera to capture her every move with :) Well, not her EVERY move, seeing as how she moves too darn fast for that, but you get the idea! No more waiting to use a roll of film!! yay :)

Hannah's First Halloween

Some of Hannah's friends came over to play on halloween. The kids spent most of the time playing and painting pumpkins, but they were kind enough to let us take some cute group pictures of them in their costumes :)

Hannah didn't mind having her picture taken, as long as she didn't have to actually look at the camera! She was too busy studying the other kids' costumes :)
She even shared one of her favorite toys with her friends - her ball popper that plays music. She was ok with it as long as they were ok with her holding on to it and dancing!
The kids all worked very hard to decorate their pumpkins . . . . .
and Hannah worked very hard to decorate herself, too!
After cleaning up all the paint, they decided it was storytime :)
We had a great time with our friends, and we're so glad that they could come over to play! After they had all gone home and Hannah was taking a nap, Matt decided to try her costume on for size. . . . I think it's a perfect fit!!
