Winter Wonderland

H in the winter wonderland. She just had to get out and play in it right away!
H is soooo excited for the snow. She said she prayed for it...go figure.

The view from here...with more to come. It's almost Christmas, right?!

We went out and got a shovel this afternoon. Didn't realize we would need it so soon :o). The apple cider is warming and the Christmas music is playing - figure we might as well embrace the season early!

Time Spent Together

More fun times during Nana and Papa's visit...

Papa & H
Fun at a local cider mill

Please smile? Pretty please?

H loved the horses (and ponies)

Lunch at a coffee shop. BTW coffee shops are hard to find here (this one is 1 1/2 hr. from home!)

Hannah and the bear (don't know anything about the bear - Hannah just liked it!)

Crayola Factory fun...

Nana and Papa came for a great visit last week. We spent lots of time together and did some fun stuff...

The Crayola Factory - H had a fantastic time. There were lots of projects to do and coloring to be done.

The "factory" where the show how crayons and markers are made. H got a fresh crayon and marker...exciting stuff for a five year old!

Writing on walls

Painting with Dad and Nana

Big kids and coloring fun

New Home...again

We've moved again! It does make for some craziness, but it was worth it. Our new apartment is in a beautiful location and sooooo much closer to church etc. We are very ready to settle in and stay put for awhile :o). Here are some pics before we moved all of our mess in...

It is a bit bigger than our old apartment and much more open... We have been so blessed to find this place...

Found - camera cord!

We found the camera cord! Yeah! So here come the pictures! Yes, the post for Hannah is old, but it has been waiting for pics for a month so I will post it anyway.

H's B-day!

H turned 5 this week! This birthday seemed to last forever, which is perfect for a kid! :o) She got some special gifts before leaving home then she had so much love sent to her via cards, phone calls, emails, packages, and ecards once here that she claimed it was her best birthday ever. Thank you everyone for making it special for her!

Happened to have the video rolling when one package came - can you tell she was excited ?!
