Misc. Happenings

In these last weeks leading up to the baby's arrival, we've been busy doing all sorts of things. Hannah is becoming more and more independent every day. She is going through a phase of NOT wanting to wear clothes. One day last week, she refused to anything but her diaper and socks for her nap. I couldn't help but laugh when I went in to get her after her nap to find her only in her socks. Unfortunately, she was also in a very wet bed :-(

She's really starting to love coloring and regularly asks to color. She pretty much just scribbles, but she is also just starting to try to color in the lines of her coloring books.

Our little artist in action. Notice she's wearing no clothes but is wearing her all-important sunglasses around her neck.

Thursday, we got an unexpected treat. We arrived at Hannah's babysitters at 6:30 as usual, only to find out that her little boy was sick. With our baby's impending arrival, I really didn't want to risk Hannah getting sick, but with the short notice I didn't have time to line anybody else up to watch her so I stayed home with her. Since we were up and at them so early, we decided not to waste the day. We ended up hitting up some fabulous garage sales in Ada and scored some good deals.

My mother's day present came early, as our new double stroller arrived yesterday! We've been researching them for soooo long and finally settled on the right one to suit our needs. Jason and Hannah got to work right away putting it together in the living room.

We took it for a little test drive through the house and had one happy rider.

I took Hannah for a walk in it through our neighborhood this afternoon and can say that I truly love it! I probably looked a bit odd pushing a double stroller with only one child, but we'll hopefully have it filled up before we know it.

We enjoyed a nice Mother's Day today. We kept it pretty low key, which was just what I wanted. Jason's parents came over for a weekend visit, so after church we went to our favorite restaurant Rose's for breakfast. Jason and Hannah got me a very sweet card, and then Daddy took care of Hannah for the rest of the night to let me get some work done. Very nice.
