we miss jessie!

and josiah, too! we were supposed to go with debra and nehemiah to visit some friends in atascadero, but it was going to be too long of a trip. we had so much fun last time. josiah was a fantastic host. he showed hannah all around his room and shared his toys with her.
we can't wait to see you guys again!

this is my kid!!

she is such a nut. i love her so much, even though sometimes i feel like i am pulling out all of my hair. she really is fantastic.

first trip to the snow!

sorry if this too small to see well. this is hannah and daddy sledding in angelus oaks. (sp?) the little pink spot in the middle is hannah's beanie (on her head.)

we went with hannah's friend mckenna and her parents (our friends), rick and sabina. the babies had a great time in the snow, as did we. we are very much looking forward to next year's sledding season...

hannah's best buddy: nehemiah

this was taken just before we took aunt debra and cousin nehemiah to the airport to go and visit his daddy in north carolina. uncle casey is going to afghanistan for 12 months. we will miss him heaps, but are very proud of him. thanks casey, for sharing your wife and son with us while you are gone.

what a handful!!

hannah and nehemiah,

who are very good buddies. they were both having quite a giggle here.
