5 Months Old

Hannah vs. rice cereal

Hannah is now 5 months old!  She is growing fast and learning new tricks everyday.  She is eating rice cereal and learning to spit.  She is also fascinated by toes!

Lake City, May 2010

Here is the deer- taken from the cabin door

At Mark's gravesite

Hannah was very interested in my ice cream- we even gave her a small taste!

These are way overdue, but here are some pictures from our visit to Lake City, CO, in May.  We went there to bury Mark's ashes in a hole that Aaron and Evette dug themselves.  It was a beautiful service and a beautiful place.  We had a chance to walk around the town and enjoy the ice cream shop.  We even had a deer visit right outside our cabin! 

Johnny Jump Up

This is very confusing

Hey- there's Winnie the Pooh!

Maybe I should just eat it

Mimi tries to teach Hannah what to do in cousin Daniel's jumper

Well, what now?  Can I get out yet?

Thanks Mimi and Papa!  Hannah doesn't quite know what to do yet, but I am sure she will get the hang of it any day now.  Kind of like eating rice cereal- we are not there yet but it will be soon.

cow appreciation day

Today is Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-A.  Hannah is dressed and ready for "her" free meal!

Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day from Hannah and everyone in the Dickinson/Gentry family!

Official stats

Thanks Alicia in Colorado Springs for the outfit!

Hannah loves bath time and looks so cute wrapped in a towel!

Playing with Daddy's beard is so much fun

Just because!

Hannah went to the doctor today.  She weighs 13 pounds and 12 ounces and is 24 1/2 inches long.  According to her doctor, that is at the 50% mark at height and weight.  Hannah also received 3 shots which she was NOT thrilled about at all!  The doctor also said we could start trying rice cereal.  Oh my, what an adventure that will be!

In other news: We had a realtor open house today and got lots of positive comments.  My Mom is here this week has given me the gift of sleep (she has the baby monitor!).  She is also babysitting Hannah and her other grandkids off and on.  We also plan to pack a bit during the week.

We made it into the CCA Tuesday note!  Pretty exciting stuff for us.  Aaron will be traveling out there next week to set up his office and do some work for a few days.  We actually have an open house (to show off our house) during the time he will be gone, so pray for me as I will be on my own to get everything done.

That's about all around here.  Enjoy the current pictures of sweet Hannah!

4 Months Old

Hannah is 4 months old today.  Here is a picture from last week, when she was 16 weeks old. Yeah, the weeks and the months don't really match right now, but we will get there.  Enjoy!

Happy Father's Day

Happy 1st Father's Day!  Love, Leslie and Hannah

A Better Place, Part 2

Malorie, Dad, Me, Grandma and Morgan in 2006

At my wedding- 11 years ago

The Dickinson Family at Morgan & Robyn's Wedding

My grandmother passed away last night after a long battle with both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease.  Hannah Catherine is named in honor of Maudie Catherine Morgan Dickinson Gardner. 

I lived next to my Grandma for many years and learned so much from her- hospitality, crafting and loving/serving the Lord.  We cooked together, made holiday decorations together and sang in our church choir together.  Grandma will be greatly missed down here on earth, but the entire Dickinson/Byrd/Morgan family is rejoicing that she is in glory with our Lord Jesus Christ with a restored mind and body singing His praises all the day long.

Field Day

May 4 was Field Day at Aaron's school.  They went out to a park to play games, cook out and have some fun time away from school.  Hannah and I were able to hang out with them for a while.  Lots of students wanted to hold Hannah! P.S. Hannah's face was scratched all by herself some time during the night before!  Silly girl- too bad she is continuing the practice.
