Sorry you have to listen to my horrible singing- but Hannah does a great job with her part.
ABC's (almost)
Hopefully next year we will get the girl a real sled and she won't have to use a pizza pan!
I'm not sure why she thinks you play football with a strainer- but she does.

Snow! (again)
Remember how I told you back in December that it doesn’t snow in Maryland? Well, I lied! We have been hammered with snow this year. It all started with the snow I wrote about here. At the time, that was the biggest snow I had seen since we moved to Maryland 3 1/2 years ago. Only a few weeks after that we had an even bigger storm that dumped about 2 feel of snow at our house. It took us a few days to dig out and left schools closed for three days. We have had a few other smaller storms over the past few weeks that left a few inches here and there. It snowed about 4-5 inches last weekend, it snowed on Tuesday night enough to cancel school on Wednesday. I began to hear that this weekend we were going to get another storm and it could be a “big deal.” It began snowing at 10 AM on Friday morning and didn’t stop until 4 PM on Saturday. We lost power over night for several hours. It was getting so cold that we decided to bring Hannah into our bed so that she would stay warm. I was worried that we would have to spend all day with no power but fortunately at 7 AM we heard our heat come back on! We stayed inside all day and watched the snow come down. I think we have about 30-35 inches out there. Kyle has shoveled enough to get the car out so that he can get to work tonight. I will be playing with Hannah at home since schools are closed Monday and Tuesday. More snow is expected on Tuesday night so we will see how the rest of the week turns out. Did I mention I’m ready for our trip to Florida? Only a few more weeks!
Hannah loved playing in the snow. She kept wanting to go in the drifts. She wasn’t ready to come inside!

Helping Dad dig out. See how far he had to dig? All the way out to the road- and in this picture he was already about 2/3 of the way there.

Hannah insisted on walking the entire way from the garage to the house. Kyle had to help hold her up. This is the next thing we need to shovel out- a path!
Hannah saw Lhotse up on this pile of snow and wanted up there with her!

23 Months
* She has started running around the house saying, "Super Girl!"
* She uses her imagination and pretends to act like different animals. She walks around and pretends to be a bear.
* Every thing is "scary" these days.
* She loves projects and helping mommy. The other day a few hours after we had worked on an art project she came to me and said, "More projects PLEASE!"
* She likes the song "Happy Day" and will go around saying, "Happy Day, Happy Day."
* She helps Dad with all of his projects around the house. She loves the hammer and screwdriver just as much as she loves her baby dolls.
* I find her hugging and kissing her baby dolls often.
* She can identify many letters of the alphabet (especially H) and can even tell you what sound some of them make.
* She loves to laugh and thinks many things are funny.
* She doesn't forget anything! Just today she was doing something that Kyle showed her only one time back at Thanksgiving.
Here is a video of Hannah at the park. She hadn't been swinging for a while and she was excited to swing. I love how she says, "More scary! Up, Up!"
