Weekend with Grandma and Pop!

Hi all!

Thank you for your patience with us-- we have had technical difficulties signing onto our blog to update it, so we have not been able to post in a long time, despite trying to do so. We have identified and resolved the issues, so please enjoy these pictures from several weeks ago and then in a few days I will post some more recent ones! Again, we are sorry for the delay. We appreciate you following us and enjoy sharing our pictures! S, J, H, and M

Special load of laundry!

Hannah swaddles her baby Blake

And gives him a big hug


Somebody was in a very silly mood this day.

Giggling and spurting random words all afternoon as she bustles around

Being able to sleep through anything is desirable to many but something most of us seem to lose the ability to do

Hannah reads to Baby Blake about ducklings

Hannah made a bat and spider (arachnid, as she calls it!) to celebrate the season

Again, being silly, Hannah decides to "be a baby" like baby Mason

Lounging during H's bath time

Hannah washing her foam tub dishes and playing in the tub. Most recently she likes to "swim" on her tummy in the tub.


Snuggling in Mom and Dad's bed.

"I think I can" says the little blue tank engine!

Grandma and her "Littlest"

Pop and little man

Grandma helping in the kitchen

Handsome

Like father, like son.

Pop and Hannah puzzle over a puzzle

Siri helping in the kitchen again :)

trying not to look tired is most difficult as is clear here

Hannah loves playing with these baby dolls (and their big sister) that Kristi played with once upon a time.

Family time on the floor

New England Cloggers at the Fall Foliage Festival

Hannah and Grandma watching the dog disc retrieval show. The dogs were very impressive and this was a fun event!

Check out that air!

Preview of H's costume...one that her Dad once wore!

Hannah with Grandma, Pop, and Pumpkin

Proudly sporting her costume, Hannah poses for a photo shoot

Again, pretending to be a baby

This is a reproduction of a picture that was captured at Christmas of last year...but now, Mason is in there, too!

Gma and Pop take time to admire the sweet little bundle.

After bath!

Grandma and the kiddos

Playdate with Brooke and Susie to play in pumpkin guts and decorate little pumpkins with stickers! This was a great time!

Hannah has chosen her pumpkin.

Best buds, scooping out the guts together -- talk about a tactile experience!

Decorating with special pumpkin stickers

Someone's finished product sitting behind Hannah in this shoot.

The gang. Even Pop had fun!

Hannah and Grace waiting for a team photo, which never came together.

Mason in one of Jonathan's first outfits (one that Mark choose for him!).

Finally, Hannah is willing to smile for pictures again!

Not much of a toddler anymore, but rather a little girl! I was looking to buy Hannah some "toddler socks" online and the websites continued to only show options fitting up to 24 months of age, which of course, would be too small for Hannah. I finally realized that the word "toddler" in my search was keeping me from seeing sizes that would actually be appropriate for her.

Handsome with the "dog-in-the-house" outfit on.

Three generations of Eck men (boys, really :)).

Great pictures! Thanks for all the hard work! We had such a wonderful time with everybody!!!!! The pictures bring back all the memories. Thanks so much. Hannah looks like a little model. See if you don't think she looks like an Eloise Wilkin picture (Little Golden Books). It was especially fun to see Hannah enjoy some of Kristi's childhood things. Thanks Kristi. Dad misses the donuts too! We should have taken a photo to bring back the taste. (Plus the maple cotton candy). Love you J,S,H&M!!!!
