Hodgepodge...

Life has been quite interesting lately.

Hannah's character shines through more and more everyday.

She is quite the attention grabber.

Her speech is taking off. She is starting to talk so that we can understand her. Just recently she said " I did it!" and "I want more please."

One of her favorite activities is to go to the pet section in the store and name all the animals on the package labels. It is hilarious to watch her run from one place to the other, point, and say what it is. She is so excited while doing that.

We recently traveled to Denver for Ava's 1st birthday. The weather was so nice while we were there. Hannah enjoyed being outside and picking flowers.

Ava. Look at those gorgeous blue eyes!

Papa and Hannah.

Hannah was a cute little Dalmatian puppy for Halloween. The costume had a hat with the face and ears but Hannah wouldn't have anything to do with it. She developed a fear of masks and most costumes this past year. So, Trick-or-treating happened very early for her. After her first stop she didn't want to quit. She wanted to go to every door! Maybe next year. Even though she didn't say "trick-or-treat," everyone loved it when she said "Thank you!"

Ready to go!

Excited!

Jasmyn and Cassidy dressed up for their Halloween party they were going to. Cassidy was a hippy and Jasmyn a hobo.

Church kicked off their celebration of missions. Hannah was able to participate in the march of nations. She dressed up and carried a flag. Then up on stage they went and sang.

This is the one shot I got before my batteries died. The next few are done with dead batteries.

She was a clown! She really does enjoy being on stage! She punched the air with her excitement when she first made it on stage, twirled around and around, squatted down and up, waved to all the audience, gave big cheesy grins, and after every song they sang she clapped and gave a really big "YAY!"

What a character!
