Happy Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at Aunt Polly and Uncle Bill's house. On our way, we picked up Carina, my cousin's niece who is going to BC Law, in Brighton. It was a beautiful day filled with family, a yummy dinner, and even yummier desserts! Hannah was the only child and just loved all of the attention!

Hannah spent lots of time with Uncle Bill (he is a kid magnet) in his wood working shop. She helped him make some ornaments for us to bring home.

Hannah and Carina. Poor Carina had to sit in the backseat with Hannah for the 1+ drive while Hannah delivered non-stop questions, commentary, etc. It did, however, give Mommy and Daddy a break.

After dessert, licking the whip cream spoon because the chocolate cream pie didn't have quite enough sugar for her.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

It's a Girl

Well, it looks like Daddy got his way...another girl! While Hannah wanted the baby to be a boy and wouldn't even let you mention a girl, she shifted quickly to being excited when the ultrasound tech said it was a girl!

Here's a profile picture of the baby.

Hannah, Nana, and Joe were all able to be there for the ultrasound. The tech and doctor said everything looks great. So far so good. And the cutest thing, the baby started moving it's hand (making it look like she was waving) so we told Hannah that she was waving to her. Hannah liked that and waved back to the screen. So sweet.

Time with Nana

For the last few days, Nana has been visiting us from North Carolina. Yesterday, we went to the aquarium in Boston.

Checking out the penguins.

After touring the 3 floors, back at the penguins. They were making some funny noises which Hannah really liked watching/listening.
After the aquarium, we walked to the North End where Joe met us for dinner.
This morning, we took Nana to the airport to say goodbye. During the hour drive, Hannah got a hold of some stickers in her backpack and put them all over herself. (I have no idea why she is closing her eyes. It was definitely on purpose...just being silly, I suppose.)

Great Nana's 92nd Birthday

On Sunday, we went to Cheri's house to celebrate Great Nana's 92nd birthday! Nana came up from North Carolina to celebrate too!

And after the party, Nana came home with us to spend a few days at our house before she has to go back to North Carolina. Here's a picture of Nana reading to Hannah.

Halloween

A few pictures from Halloween. Hannah dressed up as a peacock (and made quite a cute one at that!). We went trick or treating just around the block (it's a big block) and she had so much fun. She couldn't wait to move onto the next house for "more candy". While shy at first, she slowly gained confidence. The pictures in front of the house is her going all by herself to the door to ring the bell and wait. It was the second to last house we stopped at...
