Valentines Day Update!

All of Hannah's goodies! :)



My flowers I got early so they are floppy tulips now.


I forgot to post pictures of the lovely flowers my husband got me! :) And all of Hannah's goodies!! It was such a wonderful day with our family and friends!!! Hope you had a great weekend with your loved ones!!

Random......& of course more SNOW!

Hannah playing in her new toy box! We (well Remi) painted the back bead board purple that match the letters (H A N N A H) above her crib! So she's checking it out and thinks it's for her to sit inside of it! Eventually when shes big enough she can sit and read and look out the window. Now we have her toys on it and she just pulls them off and makes a mess!



The finished product! We do want to make a cushion for the top that goes with her bedding. I have everything I need I just don't sew!!!


She's learning to sit and pose for pictures now! I think I take enough pictures she should be use to it!


UP NEXT......THE OFFICE! Goodbye ugly old carpet HELLO hardwood floors!!! It's what we have throughout the first floor so it looks great!

Me putting the pieces in, it's really neat they clip together so not a whole lot of cutting and measuring!


Guess what came again?!?! SNOW!


This is UNREAL!! I've never seen so much snow in my life and as I've said before I lived in COLORADO!!


Icicles off the back porch!

Num Num Num!!

Pasta!!! She used a bib that's why her shirt is so clean but her face is another story!!!

Super Bowl Sunday!

We were itching to get out the house and thankfully since our house was torn apart....(remember no garage and a blizzard outside to ALL the construction was done INDOORS!) Our friends Carolyn and Matt and little girl Madeline invited us over to watch the game!

Us girls had fun playing with the kiddies and giving them a bath together! They were so cute! We saw some of the game and the commercials but didn't pay that much attention!! It was a great time, good food, good company and a good team won! It was nice to get out the house and have adult conversations (of course about the babies....what else??) and watch Hannah play with her bff!!


lining up the toys just to knock them back in!


Happy bath time girls!


They both are water babies all the way! They were dumping water on each others heads and laughing!!! haha! I can't wait till the summer pool days!!!


Thanks for a GREAT time Carolyn! Can't wait to get together again!!

SNOW SNOW AND MORE SNOW!!!!!

(One week late, if I could remember the date I would tell you, I'm thinking Super Bowl weekend??)

What we woke up to.....yet again!


Here is Remi trying to keep up with the snow shoveling. It kept coming down so quick and so much that after 2 different shovels where over 6 inches had accumulated he just gave up and stayed warm indoors!

Teddy going out, not sure what to think. You can see the chiminea fireplace, believe it or not its on a stand so the snow is already pretty high!

Finally the snow stopped enough to make a pathway! Came to about my calves! (which does not say much b/c I'm pretty short!)

Enough snow??? I think so!!


Heading down to our neighbors house, she was stuck inside!!! Her doors opened to the outside (silly fancy doors!!) So we helped her out!!! Go us!


FINALLY the sun came out the next day and melted ALL the snow away!! HAHA yeah right! 1 week later we are still having school delays! No sign of it melting!

Playtime!

The other day the roads were "decent" so I had 2 of the other mommies in our subdivision over for a play date. Their girls will be 2 this year but LOVE Baby Hannah! They are really gentle and loving with her so even though Hannah is not walking around like them they still have a blast!

Here is Maggie giving Hannah kisses!



All 3 girls in the play tent playing with the ball popper! Madeline on the left, Hannah in the middle and Maggie on the right! I don't think any of us got a picture of all 3 girls looking at the same time!!


Our kitchen table is a high bar table with 6 chairs so when they are all pushed in, it's like a jungle gym for Hannah! She crawls under them and pops up and becomes "trapped" at the bottom of the chair! It's funny!!

Investigating everything....ALL the time!

CHEESING IT UP FOR THE CAMERA! I just LOVE her little smirk!


The video came out sideways for some reason? Sorry about that but here is my girl doing what she does best..BOUNCE! This thing was and still is a LIFESAVER! I get to shower, get dressed, dry my hair, laundry, the list goes on and on! I got it at the consignment store for like $ 10!!!! I really suggest checking them out for baby/kid items!! They have gotten really picky so what's in there is really nice things. Enjoy!

Daddy's new helper!

Ok, so here is what we have been up to recently! Last week we got A TON of snow! The blizzard of the century! Over 2 ft of snow pretty much in 24 hours! So Remi was home from work most of last week (thankfully) because he had decided to tear about Hannah's room redo the trim and build her a toy box in the bump out below the window. I had made plans to take Hannah and Teddy to RVA but did not go becuase of the snow. So we were a family of 3 people, 2 pets stuck inside for like 3 days!!! AHHH!! I survived and everyone else did. It was hard keeping a 10 month old entertained and contained to one floor of the house when we usually are upstairs, downstairs again and again!

Ok so here are pictures, that's what you really want to see anyway! Remi knew from day 1 of me being pregnant that it was a girl. Since then ALL he's talked about is how he can't wait for her to walk, talk, run, play catch, go to home depot with him, the park, you get the picture! I'm all for that believe me! But she will be doing all that dressed like a girl, in a dress, hair bows, hair bands!!! My mother in law saves everything (haha but it's great!!) so she packed up a pair of Remi's old blue and white oshkosh overalls! The cutest thing ever! So she will be sporting those soon enough when she's helping daddy!!

Here is the eve in Hannah's room that was just wasted space till Remi decided to build all on his own a toy box for his baby girl!



Hannah's room was 80% done when she was born, we just did not have trim along the floor up. Remi and his dad ended up ripping out the wall, replacing it, painting etc, and time did not allow for the trim and it just got pushed aside. So snow weekend it got complete by gorgerous 6 in white trim that looks great! (I think that's right, it is not the regular trim thats in most houses it's a step up, plan and bigger)


Hannah using the nail gun......(not really, don't freak out!) She looks like a pro right!??!


I don't know whos having more fun, Remi or Hannah!


So can you keep a secret?? Hannah is sitting an her "secret compartment" in the tox box! It's cedar lined and a white board will go on top of it with a finger latch that she can pull up and put her favorite things she doesn't want us or the dog to get! :)

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Our family Valentine picture! (Man I need a haircut and highlight pretty bad!!!!)


Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!!!!

We had a nice weekend with my mom and nana visiting!! We had originally planned on going out for brunch then decided against it b/c of Valentines day and everywhere being busy. So we did the next best thing......Remi cooked an AMAZING breakfast spread for everyone! We had some friends over too! It was yummy and even though Hannah was feeling a little under the weather she was so good and had a great time smiling and eating all the yummy food!!!

Thanks to Jay for taking some great pictures! He had the camera we want to buy and will probably have to get!!! Other than that it was a relaxing weekend with our family. I'm able to post these pictures because they came from a different camera (Jay's AWESOME camera) and we were able to put them on the laptop. I will eventually get around to uploading all the snow pictures (like up to 3 feet of snow now) So for now enjoy these pictures of my Valentines!!!


Here is my Valentine preparing us the delicious brunch!!!


Daddy's little sweetheart!!



Hannah and Chloe playing. They played so well together and were entertained for a long time! It was nice to be able to sit and enjoy the conversations without chasing a quick crawler/walker around everywhere!!


I just LOVE this picture!! She has 3 teeth coming in up top. The left top tooth is thru and her right eye tooth is almost broken thru and you can feel the top right one but no sign of white coming yet!!! She looks silly but totally adorable with her top left tooth working its way down!!!


This picture she turned but is still really good I think, because it shows her baby look. I know she won't have it forever so I want to enjoy her chubby soft cheeks and lack of baby hair and toothless smiles all I can now!!!!!


Our sweet happy baby girl enjoying her dinner!!


She was in such a happy mood at dinner that she was just laughing and laughing at nothing!! We caught some pretty cute and silly smiles!!!


Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and here in Maryland it's back to school and work for everyone!!! Well probably til Tuesday because they are calling for MORE snow Monday night! Seriously I miss snow but this is overkill!! I'm tired of the snow, being stuck inside, lack of parking spaces b/c the snow piles take up most of the lots, I could go on and on and seem like a cranky ungrateful person but I'm not. I'm use to being on the go and getting a bit antsy!!!! I LOVE getting out and taking walks to the beach!

Winter wonderland!

Well the weather was right on target the east coast got dumped on and the Eastern Shore got almost 2 feet of snow!!!! More or less in some places b/c of the snow drifts!!! It's unreal! I've never seen so much snow and I lived in CO for a while!!!!

We can't post pictures yet b/c Remi is painting the office and putting in hardwood floors so the office is in the guest room and I'm using the Mac once again. I will have to dig out the card reader so I can upload pictures but being snowed in makes me lazy!! I napped when Hannah napped yesterday and watched a movie for her other nap! :) I love it!

You should see Teddy our Shiba Inu he was not a fan of the snow. It was really deep for him to truck through! The snow came up to his belly and he had to hop around the yard. Remi took him out and got a video once again I will upload it....(later)!!!

Not much else to report we are in the middle of planning Hannah's first birthday party in March!! I can't believe she will be ONE!!! Where did the year go??? Well till next time! :)
