More visitors! What a fun week!

Peek-a-BOO! This is one of our pumpkins, following 18 inches of snowfall on October 30th. Hannah had performed a snow dance several days earlier (seriously!).

We went to play in the snow with Brooke!

Let's go sledding!

Hold on, Brooke! My Dad can pull us on this tube!

Weeeeee!

Hannah was particularly fond of this activity.

Great shot of Dad.

Let's try this sled now, Dad! We had a great time playing in the snow in fairly warm weather.

On this particular day, Hannah chose to play in her room for quiet time, rather than nap, but it was clear that she needed the nap. When I went to retrieve her, she said she wanted to lie next to Mason on our bed. I laid her down and she conked out immediately.

This is one of the most precious things I've witnessed in my life: my two kids snuggling together.

Anik came down and played with Hannah for a whole afternoon! How appropriate that Hannah asked her to read this book, especially after a no-nap day!

Then, Brenda and Alexa joined us for dinner and to meet Mason!!!

Hannah liked her dinner very much and chose to eat noodles rather than wait for our entrees to finish baking.

Then, Hannah opened a package from B and A: MONSTER SLIPPERS! FUN!

Mason gets a spin lesson.

Mason will grasp a rattle that has been placed into his hand and hold on to it for quite a while, just listening to his music.

Hannah found this Mini costume in the Goodwill pile and insisted on being Mini for the rest of the week.

Although Hannah is typically sure to inform us when something is too tight, it didn't matter at all that this costume is for a 12-month old, and was clearly too tight (see next image).

This is a onesie...

Hannah liked this bike a lot.

Daddy finally gets to go to the gym!

Hannah was so excited to show him the trampoline.

...working on her chin-ups.

Bouncy house with Mom!

This was a new bouncy house/slides, a fun new addition to the gym!

The Coastal Crew came to visit and meet Mason!

Yup, he looks like a Mason, they agree.

Aunty Kathy and Cousin Jen are great with kids.


Aunt Kathy made Baby Blake this beautiful quilt! Hannah loves it. She also made Mason a beautiful quilt and I'm told that Nanny served as a special consultant regarding this project! Thank you, Kathy and Nanny!

Chris and Kristin also came to visit! Here we are, munching on appetizers.

Jen, an apple bib is so appropriate for the apple crisp!

But, this one --with the catch-all pocket -- suits you better!

Uncle Richard and Chris playing with Hannah's kitchen, after she's gone to bed, of course.

Love, love, love, LOVE the two angels sleeping in mommy and daddy's bed! Soooo so sweet! Also glad to see the family and friends fun time in the snow. Also fun that daddy finally got to the gym. Good job on the pull-ups, Hannah. Love you all!
