Hello Everyone!This is Grandma. I have discovered a wonderful thing….. LOVE IS INFINITE! I know that you probably all already knew that, but for me, I couldn’t imagine loving anything like I love my children…..And then God gave me Hannah. And my love grew and I grew with it. So what do I love about Hannah? EverythingJ, even her fits (I can potentially see a huge spoiling hazard). I love how her ebony hair curls so tight after it is washed, and then as it dries it grows into this uncontrollable mess. Good luck Hayley. I don’t know which I love more, that she waits at the window to see grandpa or that he waits on the stairs at -40 degrees below zero until he catches her eye and then she squeals and races to the door to take off his hat. This routine ends with her laying her fuzzy head on his chest and whispers” papa”. (Actually now she is calling him “mama”) he doesn’t mind, she could call him anything, even late for dinner, hee hee.I love to hear her wake up with quiet coos and words that usually end with, “baba” and then I can hear her mom tenderly greet her and carry on a beautiful conversation every morning. It is what I think HEAVEN sounds like.I love that sheGIGGLES when she sneezes.And I love how she makes the car shake when she is in her car seat dancing to country music, yes she is a COUNRTY music fanI love to hear her duets with Keaton on the piano.I love, loving her and I have found that every time love is given it increases, and of all the renewable resources I am glad heaven chose LOVEto be LIMITLESS.

Halloween!



This was Hannah's first Halloween. There was candy and she LOVED it! She followed the candy bowl wherever it went and would suck on a wrapper and then throw it back in (I don't think the little kids will mind). I decided to dress her up as Hannah Banana and of course our talented Melissa saved us with the cutest banana costume ever. My mom kept buying pumpkins but my dad kept putting them outside so they would freeze before we would get the chance to carve them so in order to give Hannah a pumpkin experience we gave her the black paint.

Growing Up











Hannah is shining bright with her smile "talking" and laugh that fills the room instantly as she enters. A lot has happened over the past 4 months. Hannah is eating solid foods, crawling, walking, dancing, dropping things so she can say "Uh-Oh", saying a few other new words, and so much more! She is nearing 11 months old and her personality is growing sweeter and more joyful than ever. Hannah has been loving her time with Uncle Shane and Aunt Tammy's family. In June we went to Oregon for Keaton's graduation and a visit. My family moved up in August and Aunt Keaton came up two weeks early to take care of Hannah. Here are a few pictures from the past few months.
