Hannah's and her friend Charlie's birthdays are only a day apart. Since we are good frineds, we decided to have a joint birthday party. It sure was a lot of fun.
Hannah is in LOVE with Chris. If she sees him , she goes running up, arms wide and just waits to be picked up. She can spot him from clear across a room. No one else gets her attention like he does.

CAKE!!! Yum, yum!
Keith, Hannah, and I took a trip to the Lorraine-American Cemetery in France today. the weather was beautiful adn it was nice to pay a tribute to some of the fallen servicemembers.
Sometimes it amazes me how quickly we forget how many servicemembers have passed in the line of duty.

David, Hannah, and Jeremiah. We couldn't get Hannah to stop saying "I'm 2, I'm 2."Hannah will be having a "real" birthday party at the end of the month with her friend Charlie, who turned 2 yesterday. For now, here are some new things Hannah can do:
Hannah can count to 3, skips 4, then goes straight to 5 and 6.
She can navigate the stairs alone (scary - yes!)
She writes, colors, eats, and gets things with her left hand - almost ALWAYS!
She likes to help out with Mommy's make up - especially lipstick "wips".
She tells the dogs where to go and what to do! In her defense - she also likes to give them treats.
She can screech at the top of your lungs and you think that your eardrums will burst before she is done.
She cleans up her own toys.
She says "Hannah" for herself instead of "Nah-Nuh".
She pretends to talk on the phone ALL the time. You think she is training for later??
She can take off all of her clothes, and put on her shirt and shoes by herself.
She has 18 teeth - yes 18! She has her 6 year molars on the bottom. Yikes!
She says, "Watch me!" and does something funny.
She says, "I go bye-bye." all the time, then after about 5 minutes in the car, she says, "Go home."
She tries to feed and diaper all her baby dolls.
She tries to sing songs like "Jesus Loves Me" and the theme song to "My Friends Tigger and Pooh".
She likes to pretend that she is going to drive the car. Of course, this is usually while I am trying to hurry and get her buckled in because we are running late for something!
She drinks out of a regular cup without spilling.
She doesn't wear a bib.
She can unscrew bottle caps.
She likes to eat junk food. Oh, the pleasures of raising 2 generations of children at the same time!
She likes to read, and takes a book to bed with her after we say prayers.
She likes to eat ice and says "cold".
We are so incredibly blessed!
Our first glimpse!
She's ours!

David's turn.
We cannot say just how blessed we are! We are a perfect family!
Happy Easter!!
Hannah has a pink pair of cowgirl boots. But, did you know that these boots are made to be worn 24/7? I mean seriously, they are the last thing that she takes off at night and the first thing that she puts on in the morning. We do take them off to take a bath, but she usually tries to put them back on before bed if she can.
And finally, here she is goofing around with Jeremiah. You gotta love those smiles!!
Somedays, you just don't want to pose for Mommy. Mommy got Hannah all dressed, put her hair up in pigtails and noticed how cute Hannah was behaving. Mommy decided that some more pictures were in order (what else is new?) and got out the camera. However, Hannah did not want anything to do with the camera. This is the best we got (notice how excited she is!!).
