Happy Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day Joe got me....2 inches of snow! So thoughtful of him! Oh and he came home early. Unfortunately Hannah and I wouldn't really know because the poor man is too busy shoveling the driveway.

Notice our car (that he drove to work today) at the street. Looks like he has his work cut out for him. Sadly at this point, he had already been at it for 30 minutes.

And here's Hannah doing what she does best...eating!

At what age do you start working on etiquette?? : )

Silly photos

nothing much new....hannah and my sickness du jour this week is a cold still (again?), which is much better than the stomach flu 2 weeks ago. hasn't slowed us down too much...

here are a few pictures of hannah that i thought were cute...


Not sure what the deal is with the hat...she just loves this hat (well, most hats, I guess). she was just particularly silly with this one. she looked like the character from fat albert where all you can see is the hat.

Freezing

Freezing would actually be an understatement. Never did I imagine I would actually wish for it to be freezing but that would be warmer than it has been since Hannah and I came back from CA. Our highs have been in the 20s and lows in the teens or upper single digits. Although none of that factors in wind chill. All this stuff I'm learning all about....like having to start your car five minutes before you actually want to go anywhere.

Gone are the days of playing outside at the park. Now little Hannah just sits at the door looking longingly outdoors. : )
We do go out but just to somewhere else indoors. And lately it seems that it is either Target, a furniture store, Michaels, or Gymboree. Although I'm sick with a cold again so Gymboree is out this week. : ( Oh, the joys of winter!

Our last morning with Grams and Gramps

Here are a few pictures after IHOP for breakfast...rooty tooty fresh 'n fruity (ok, nobody got that, but I just like the way it sounds.)

And here's little miss thing at the airport in Chicago after we missed our connecting flight and now had 2 1/2 hrs to kill in the airport (after being delayed in PS for 2 hrs)...it was a long day.

The funniest thing was that if I tried to help her steer the stroller, she would throw herself onto the floor and cry (isn't 16mos a little too soon for tantrums?). I tried to be somewhat understanding since I knew she was exhausted and she had been cooped up for soooo... long, but there are still rules...so there were a few tantrums.

Kristen and Jason's Wedding

The purpose of our CA visit, which had many side perks, was to go to Kristen and Jason's wedding on the 27th of January.

My main purpose as Matron of Honor was (unfortunately) not to take pictures so there aren't many, but here are a few that I did get.

The bridesmaids at the Bridesmaids luncheon (with Kristen, the bride, in cream)...

Debbie, the Maid of Honor, and I...


Kristen and Jason (a little fuzzy...maybe it was the glass of champagne I just had) while watching the 'surprise' fireworks show (that was just amazing)...
