April 2010

Well it's back to reality now that we are home from Punta Cana! That also means back to some chilly weather. We headed over to Aunt Karen's house one day to play with Audrey and to let Hannah swing for the first time. She absolutely loved it.

Then we decided to take a walk and Hannah was lucky enough to enjoy the ride in Audrey's cool car. Do you think she enjoyed it?

Later on in the month we broke out our sand and water table. We started off with only water. She loved it and was soaked by the end of it!

Hannah loves playing with her Little People Animals! She went through a period of time where she would line them all up on the tile and talk to them. SO cute!

Later that afternoon we headed out to play in the grass. Life is good when you are this happy just being outside!

As you can see...we are very blessed with a happy baby! Her smiles light us up and make us laugh thats for sure!

Spring Break 2010

During Spring Break, we flew to Punta Cana in the Domenican Republic with my parents and my sister Karen and her family, as well as a friend/co-worker of mine and her family. We had such a blast and will have lifelong memories of the trip! Hannah did such a great job the entire week, although I learned right from the start that I needed to go with the flow and not worry about sleep and routine! We left around 2 a.m. for Chicago and Hannah decided she was going to be up for the majority of the trip to the airport. She was giggling, babbling, etc, but at least she was happy. She finally crashed for a little bit, and ended up sleeping on each of the flights cuddled up on Daddy! Needless to say, EVERYONE was extremely happy to get off the planes and make our way to the resort.

We stayed at the Iberostar Punta Cana. Most of the week was spent by the pool. Hannah absolutely hated the sand! We tried a couple of times but it wasn't worth the fight. She stayed in her float the first few days, but then discovered she could explore the baby pool better without it! We had so many good pictures of our trip. I tried to combine some into collages to make it easier. If you haven't seen them all and would like to, most are on facebook and I can send you the link if you need it!

Some family photos in a great place!

Hanging out by the pool! She was great keeping her sunglasses and hat on most of the time!

WHAT A VIEW!! A few of my favorite pictures of the pool and beach!

The week flew by and soon we were on our way back home. The flight back Hannah did very well again. She loved watching some dvds of Mickey Mouse and fell asleep again on both flights!

BYE BYE PUNTA CANA!!

It's about time right?

Well now that it's summer time, I thought it would be a perfect time to get started on this. I've wanted to for a while now, but balancing home and work has been challenging enough! Bare with me as I go backwards a bit and try to bring you up to date with our lives :) Spring Break seems like a great place to start....
