Christmas card picture 2008

St. Jude Marathon weekend

Three little girls waiting to see their daddies running.  In the FREEZING cold!

Hannah decided we were gonna have to wait a while, so she made herself comfortable.

Here they come!!

Running into Autozone Park for the finish

The finish line!! Yay!!

First pony tail

Hannah's hair has finally gotten long enough for a real pony tail!  I think it makes her look like such a big girl.

Christmas parade

It was FREEZING cold that day = not the best pictures ever!  But it was fun! Our college students are the greatest ever and met us downtown to watch the 17 santas roll by!

Thanksgiving at Mammaw Barrett's house

Aunt Heather's dress

Robbie's mom went through some of Heather's baby clothes and we took a few things for Hannah to wear.  This little jumper was one of them.  The shirt and tights are new, but I thought it looked cute!  Here's Hannah showing off for Aunt Heather!

The Memphis Zoo

We had  a rare warm Saturday in November and took Hannah to the Memphis Zoo. She loved it!  I got lots of pics of the animals, but I know that you all know what a tiger looks like, so I'll just post a few of Han. 

Looking at the monkeys - her favorite!!

Riding the carousel with Mommy - not really liking it very much!

Amazed at the elephants! She tried to climb through to get to them.

Playing in the boat. (I don't know... it was some kind of Native American display, complete with canoes, and Hannah loved it.  She threw a fit when we decided it was time to move on to something else.)

Walking with Daddy.  She sure does love him!

We saw a LOT of this (pointing) that day!

Trip to Little Rock

We took a trip to Little Rock right before Thanksgiving to see Mimi and Jay, Lauren, James, and Eliza.  It was a great time!

Aunt Lauren and Hannah

The big girls on the swing

All the cousins!

Jay and Robbie

Hugging Mimi

Everyone in Mimi's room (yep, Jay, I stole these from you!  Thanks!)

Catching up

I know that it's been forever, so I am attempting to catch up on the blog.  I am on call today, so I thought I'd put the unexpected free time to some good use.  Hopefully if I get caught up, I'll do a better job of posting on a regular basis!

Out of the mouths of babes...

We've started saying prayers at night with Hannah.  You never know what she's gonna come up with!  This is usually about how it goes:

Me: "Thank you God for Jesus"

Hannah: " and da doggie!"

Rob: "And Mommy"

Hannah: " 'n my paci!"

Me: "And Daddy"

Hannah: "and da rah-rah" (this means the rocking horse - we call it the rock-rock)

Han: "and my milk..... and da dogs.... and my shoe....  and my toe....  and my paci!"

(pause)

Han: "nigh' nigh' "

Rob and me together, kinda grinning: "Amen!"

It's really special to see her picking up on the concept of praying and thanking God for the things in her life.  Each night she says something different, depending on what is fresh on her mind from the day.  The paci usually gets mentioned more than once though, so I'm thinking that is really meaning a lot to her lately!  :)

Fall Festival

Sunday night we had our Fall Festival at church.  Hannah got to dress up as an elephant - and she loved it!  I've been practicing with her for weeks, trying to teach her to make the noise like an elephant.  She's gotten really good at it (along with lots of other animal noises!) but of course, she wouldn't do it for anyone that night! :)  

Hannah with her friend from school and church, Faith.  Isn't she the cutest little pirate you've ever seen?

The whole fam

Hannah and I with our friends Lori and Emma.  Isn't Emma a precious poodle? :)

Pumpkin Patch

We made our annual trip to Green Acres Farm to take pumpkin patch pictures a few weeks back...

This was right before we left - she was getting kinda sleepy, can you tell?

Trying to push a HUGE pumpkin with Daddy

Hannah and me

She loved riding in the wagon!

This one was just her size!

Last year we put her all the way down on one of these crates - she's grown so much!

Sweet face

"Wow, really?!? Are you sure it's okay for me to TOUCH these things?!?"

"Look at this one!"

Vacation - random

Here are a few more random pics from our vacation...

I love the mountains!

The condo we stayed in, from the outside.  It was really nice.

Hannah playing on the balcony - her favorite spot.  We would just open up all the doors and let her go in and out as much as she wanted to.  She loved being able to go outside when she wanted to!
