Catching Up (Part 2)

She decided that putting the sweatshirt on half way would be just fine.

Catching Up (Part 1)

So it's been awhile. Working from home doesn't leave much time for blog posting.

A week or two ago Todd and I took Hannah to the Congaree State Park. It's really cool and has a great boardwalk that went all through the forrest. We even saw a deer! Hannah had a pretty good time, especially when we let her push the stroller... and run amuck.

My Favorite Muse...

I never thought I would....

1. use a crock-pot this much.
2. look forward to going into the office to work (even if it is only like 5 hours a week).
3. kind-of enjoy watching a cartoon featuring a ghetto dude named "DJ Lance" dressed in an orange jumpsuit (the spandex kind, not the death row kind.)
4. appreciate a good playground as much as I do.
5. dream of the nicer vacuum or steam mop.
6. sing "Wheels on a bus" about eleventy-million times a day (and yes, eleventy-million is an exact figure)
7. want to hug a total stranger who is willing to take my empty buggy from me in the store parking lot so I don't have to walk it back to the buggy corral.
8. consider 7:15 am sleeping in!
9. say the following...
" put the poo poo in the potty"
"no, we don't ride the dog"
"no screeching! no screeching! no screeching!"
"leave your shoes on in the car"
"no, that's mommy's toothbrush. it doesn't belong in the trash"
"we need to let the kitty cat sleep"
10. describe things as yucky, stinky, dirty, silly or smelly.

First day of "school"

Hannah had her first day of "school" last week. She is going to a Mother's Morning Out program on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9-12. I took these pictures before taking her to her first day. I did take the camera with me to school but I didn't take any pictures there because it was just easier for both of us if I didn't stick around for long. Maybe I'll take the camera once she gets more adjusted and I'll get some pics of her in her classroom.





Overall she did pretty good for her first week. The teachers said that all of the kids cried off and on. They said that Hannah was very smart and they were impressed to see that she knew all of her animals already! Hopefully this week she'll do even better and not cry at all.

Sleeping Beauty, part II

Warning: There is partial nudity in this post!


So the other day I slipped into Hannah's room to get some pictures of her sleeping, and this is how I found her. Please note, she did have a shirt on when I put her to bed.
