New and old

This past week went by way too quickly. Sometimes I just don't know where the time goes. I think we've hit the teething stage, so Hannah's been a bit more needy than normal. Lots of drooling and poopy diapers going on here! Hopefully we see something pop through very soon.

Since we were actually home this weekend, we decided to take a drive down to Holland this afternoon for their downtown sidewalk sales. I thought the stores might just have a few things out on the sidewalks, but was I wrong. They actually close off the street and have tents set-up all through downtown. It was really quite impressive. There is an adorable baby boutique that I really could have spent some cash at, but I was good. I am still kicking myself for not buying Hannah a pair of Pedipeds at 20% off, though! Oh well.

Last weekend, we brought Hannah's new exersaucer (courtesy of my parents' awesome neighbor!) home with us. She's been loving it! It's amazing how well she can actually stand and spin in it. What a great toy!



Jason and I have been looking at buying a new dining room table for quite sometime. The table we had was Jason's from his bachelor days. It was in great condition, but the glass tabletop and super heavy chairs were just not practical for us anymore. This week, he decided to list our table on e-bay and sold it in a day! So, last night Jason picked up our new table and chairs and the buyer came and got our old table today. After we got home from Holland, Jason spent the majority of the evening putting together our new set. None of it came assembled, so it was quite a project, but he did a fantastic job. What a great husband I have! It's now in our dining room, and we absolutely love it! It's a bit smaller than our previous table, which is what we were looking for. We think it's a perfect fit.





Finally, my mom gave Hannah a dress that she had worn as a baby (not sure if I wore it or not??). It's adorable! So classic. I hope to take very good care of it so hopefully someday Hannah can pass it down to her daughter. Such a special family momento.
