Goofy girl

I think this is hilarious.  Hannah is so goofy sometimes!

Daddy's little helper

Here are a few pics that I took of Aaron hanging the new blinds in the bathroom.  Hannah was soooo helpful :)

Wedding in Amarillo

We went to Amarillo last weekend to celebrate the wedding of a long-time family friend.  I didn't get many pictures- but we were pretty busy and had lots of fun catching up with lots of friends.  As an added bonus, Evette came to the wedding too.  Hannah loved seeing her Nana!

Taylors in town

We were so happy to see our friends Karen, Helen and Bette Taylor a few weeks ago.  They live in Canada now but were in town for a brief visit.  We loved seeing them again and introducing them to Hannah.  It was a great reunion with friends we have know since 1999 :)

Born to be a Blazer

Here are a few shots of Hannah in her Belhaven Blazer onesie.  We won't pressure her to go to our alma mater but this will be a fun pic to show her if she does end up there :)

A trip to Roanoke

We spent a week in Roanoke, Virginia, visiting friends. Here are just a few highlights:
1.  Spending time with the Smiths.  Hannah loved Michael and Tootie and their puppies.  They enjoyed Hannah and entertained her by blowing bubbles for her.

2.  Visiting with Craig and Barbara, Susanah and her dog Lizzie.  Hannah loved this puppy too- they even played hide-and-seek together :)

3.  We were blessed to visit with Sarah one evening as well.  Then we went to the movies together while her mom babysat Hannah.  Again, Hannah fell in love with Sarah's puppy!

4.  We had a fun dinner with the Brennemans and the Sloans.  No puppies here- but new friends for Hannah: she had fun playing with the kids and warmed up to Roger pretty quick.  It was great to hang out and also to meet baby John.

5.  We were in on a surprise for Michael and Tootie- a trip to Disney World!  We went to dinner then a cake/ballons arrived.  We photographed and recorded their very surprised reactions.  What a great event to be a part of!

6.  We went to CTK for church on Sunday- it was great to see all of our old friends there.  Then Aaron persuaded some friends to eat lunch at the pub with us before we left Virginia that afternoon.

We certainly visited with many more friends, ate lots of yummy "Roanoke" food, and attended FCS graduation but I didn't get anymore pictures.  We were so happy to see everyone again and renew our friendships. 

Happy Birthday Mom!

Here is a late Happy Birthday wish to my Mom! 

Fort Worth Botanic Gardens, part 2

We finally made it back to the Ft. Worth Botanic Gardens.  Everything was in full bloom and beautiful.  We didn't get very good pictures, it was almost lunch time and pretty warm- but it was fun exploring this great place again. 

P.S.  Thanks for the dress Aunt Kirstin- it is perfect for a day out at the park!

Brushing teeth

Hannah loves to brush her teeth!

Drummer girl

Hannah recieved a music maker set for her birthday from her "Aunt Catherine" and the rest of the Arnold family- and she loves making noise with all the fun instruments. One part that she just got interested in is the drum. She is learning to use the drum sticks to beat the drum (and put in her mouth).

In other news, Hannah is 15 months old today. We visited the doctor- walking for the doctor, 2 shots, and a not too friendly new nurse. Here are her stats: 25 1/2 pounds [75%], 30 1/4 inches [50%] and a smallish head [25%]. Thankfully, Hannah hasn't gained much wieght (only a pound in 3 months) because she was in the 95% and if she had stayed up there we would have had a "talk" with the doctor [ I was concerned, but I guess all her walking and busyness has kicked in].
