First Santa visit of 2008!

We went to the Cameron Village Christmas Open House and talked with Santa Claus. Hannah told him she wanted a vacuum cleaner (?). I wonder if the cleaning kick will continue into her teen years... If she's like me, definitely not. More later...

Hello from Homer!

I know this is technically Hannah's blog spot, but Homer wanted to say "Hi".

Happy Birthday to Mommy!

Ballerina pose

Here's Hannah doing her ballerina pose. She'll stop anywhere and strike this pose, even in line at KFC/Taco Bell. It's the only one she knows right now. She seems to like being a ballerina so much that I've signed her up for some ballet classes in 2009. More later...

Jumpin' in!

Here's Hannah jumping into the COLD pool. She doesn't seem to be bothered too much by the water temperature. I'm just glad I don't have to get in. The next swim lessons will be at Pullen Park where the pool is heated! More later...

Playtime with Wade!

Our good friends from Mebane, Wade and his mom Susann, came to visit and play for a while. The kids had fun taking all the toys out and Susann and I got to catch up. We first met them at a library storytime when Hannah was about 6 months old. Then we spent a couple of years walking around Lake Lynn pushing strollers. Then they moved... :( More later...

First trip to the dentist!

Hannah had her first trip to the dentist on November 13th. She had fallen on her mouth a few weeks ago so we just wanted to have her front teeth checked out. Everything was fine and while she was there they did her first cleaning. She was an excellent patient!

Nature Walk

Hannah and I went on a nature walk through Brookhaven Nature Park a few days ago. The park is very close to our house. We picked up leaves, fed ducks, and got "attacked" by a rogue golden retriever. He grabbed Hannah's bag of leaves (which was in her hand) and tried to take it, which of course scared her. But Mommy stepped in and saved the day (or the bag of leaves). He then jumped all over her which scared her even more. He finally ran off after he decided that we were not going to play with him. The owner was no where in sight. More later...

The pool's cold, Mommy!

Hannah started her solo swim lessons earlier this week. She's doing good, but she doesn't want to go under the water yet. Hopefully that will change. The pool water is a bit chilly. The pool is enclosed under a bubble so it's warm inside, but I don't believe the pool itself is heated. I'll make sure to try to get into the lessons at the heated pool next time. Her lips were almost blue yesterday. I feel like a bad mama, but we're going back on Monday! More later...

Halloween!

Eric took Cinderella trick-or-treating with some neighbors the other night. She had lots of fun and got a bucket full of candy. She said that she would share with Mommy and Daddy. We also have a ton of candy left over so we'll have candy at least 'til Easter. And then we'll add the Easter candy to the mix. Hannah's going to her first solo swim class tonight. I hope the pool's heated. More later...
