Minnesota

We just spent the last week in Minnesota at Kyle's grandparent's summer home. The entire family was there and we had a blast with Kyle's cousins! His family is large and there are 42 or so immediate family members. We all stayed on site...and everyone had a bed! We were some of the first to arrive so Hannah had a quiet first few days! She loved the wagon and we spent quite awhile playing with it in the front yard.

I think I went around that circle 35 times that day.

That night Stephen and Beth arrived and brought Erik and Julie with them!

This is Monet. She is obsessed with getting rocks from the bottom of the lake and bringing them up to the yard. She has rock diving down to a science and it is pretty funny to watch!

This was only the beginning of the excitement! More pictures coming soon!

New York

This weekend we headed up to New York City for a going away party for Beth and Stephen (Hannah's Aunt and Uncle). They are moving to Almaty, Kazakhstan for their next big adventure. We left home Thursday night at 7:00, figuring that Hannah would sleep most of the way. She was so excited for her first trip to New York that she stayed awake the entire four hour drive. She wasn't unhappy and didn't make a peep, but she would NOT sleep. Needless to say- when we arrived at our hotel and saw Grandma and Grandpa, she was not a happy baby! We had fun going on walks and doing a little shopping before the party. We headed home Sunday...and Hannah slept the ENTIRE way home! Oh please don't kiss me!

Shopping along 5th Avenue. Hannah made her first trip to FAO Schwartz...I think she loved it!

Party Animal!

Hannah slept through most of the party.

She was so tired she slept in until 9:00 on Sunday morning!

Hannah was very excited about her new blocks from FAO Schwartz. She had a great time knocking them down!
