The Beach

It's been quite a while since I last wrote. Now we are no longer to use our computers at work for personal use, evidently one of the hospitals nearby had an issue with identity theft and the computers, I don't have much time for blogging. But here are a few pictures of our time in Virginia Beach. The weather was perfect for camping, but a little chilly for the beach...we hung out at the beach none the less. Becca wasn't too sure how much she enjoyed the sand, but she warmed up after some time. Hannah, as we knew already, loved the beach and had no hesitations to jumping in the water...though once we encountered crabs on the beach we was a bit freaked out. We had a good though...so nice to get away and spend some relaxing time with the family...boy we need more time like that!!

Hannah's Third Birthday

Yes, Kevin bought Hannah her first bow and arrows. She was very tired at this point though so wasn't extreamly happy about learning something new, but she did hit the target on her second try...she was upset she missed on her first try.

My cake may not be perfect, but I thought it turned out well for a first attempt at decorating cakes. Hannah liked it...she just wanted to look at it and was afraid everyone would eat it all.


Hannah said that Daddy had to help her open gifts..no one else.

Last Weekend

Last weekend we decided to get out of the house, now that everyone is on the road to recovery, and take a small hike to the falls at a Ricket's Glen. Hannah actually did well keeping up, though she wanted to collect every leaf, pine needle, and stick we passed. She was cute because evertime we stop for her to go potty on the way she'd say, "mommy you got my baby seat? And you're going to hold me the whole time? That's a good deal." Becca as usual just smiled and enjoyed the ride.

Winter Fun

Busy, busy, busy...that is our life. I've been working lots of overtime, and Kevin has been having constant sinus pain that we haven't done a whole lot outside of the house it seems. We did go the mall this weekend...I told Hannah the night before that we were going shopping tomorrow, and she said, "No not tomorrow. We're going tolater." I thought was cute. She liked the mall partly because she got new pink shoes (she has always loved shoes), they had booster chairs her size at the food court, they had in the family restroom a potty her size with a sink on her level...they didn't have knobs for the water faucet but it censored when your hands were underneath and turned on, she was asking, "Where are the circles?" She did lose one of her white bears there. Kevin didn't want to go back because we were there a long time, and it's a small bear in a large mall. I took a shot and called information and got the number for the mall, and I talked to customer service who amazingly had her bear! So we went back, and I ran in and got it...I was glad because she always wants both bears in her bed with her because one is mommy and one is daddy, it broke my heart to not have both to give her.

Here are just some pictures of how we spent our wintertime.


My cutie pie girls. I love both of these pictures...Hannah always looks so cute in the dog ears, and they both are so smiley and sweet in the other picture. I think you can see in this one how Hannah does care for her sister...she really does try to help take care of her and keep her safe...she just plays a little roughly with her now and then. I think when Becca gets a little older they will really have a lot of fun together.


Kevin let Becca go swimming...evidently she liked it!


Hannah loves her Ellie and has learned to be gentle (most of the time). Poor little Becca was exhausted and finally gave into the sleep.


Hannah wanted to wear Daddy's pajama pants and slippers, and then I laughed as she couldn't get out. Becca, now that she has crawling down, is working on trying to pull up on everything!


The girls are keeping each other entertained. Plus a couple of pooped ballerinas.


Kevin hung the swing and I brought in the bikes so the kids could play since the snow and freezing temperatures kept them inside. Hannah finally learned how to bike ride.

Hiking the falls...boy these kids are getting heavy!

Just a little cuteness.

Super Bowl

Well we all had a good time last night...Super Bowl Sunday. The game fans were pretty tame..until the final few minutes! I knew the Steelers would win, though I kind of hoped the opposite would happen (not that I care too much either way unless the Cowboys are playing). Hannah had a fun time playing with her friends, and Becca was well behaved as usual. Thanks Kevin and Tammy for a fun night.
