hello all! my first attempt at blogging. I've stepped into the 21st century! A good way to begin the new year i figure. I was inspired by my sister in law to start this blog as a way to remember all of the adorable things Hannah (and possible future children) does and says, as well as the goings on in my family. So here are a few thoughts to start. Matt Hannah and I have just had a wonderful Christmas vacation. Visiting family and Matt having a nice chunk of time off has been refreshing. Here are some of the funny things Hannah has said this christmas vacation.

She had decided to tell me a story. It went like this. " They (mary and joseph) went all the way to bethlehem, and God was with them the whole time. Then they went down to the river and got 5 smooth stones..." she then proceeded in retelling the story of david and goliath. She's getting there!

She recieved a litte kitty stuffed animal as a christmas present from my sister. She used to have an identical kitty that she dearly loved but lost about 6 months ago. When she saw the kitty she said "I love it! I haven't had her for 20 years!"

After Hannah recieved her gifts at my parnts house she and I had a talk about being thankful. Hannah then thought she should help everyone learn this valuable lesson so she gathered everyone together in typical Hannah fashion and sang them a song. It was all about "being thankful for what you do have!" and it was adorable.
