Hannah took the Fisher Price phone into her bedroom and closed the door. I checked in a while later and found her sitting on top of the hamper talking away. She told me she was having a private conversation. I quickly grabbed my camera, snapped a shot, and left her alone. A sign of things to come....?
Hannah loves music and loves to dance. She had fun dancing with baby Gigi this week.
She also has been asking to wear dresses daily -- not great timing as we are currently in a cold snap. Luckily I have been able to find nice long-sleeved, warm dresses at a reasonable price at the local thrift store.
A comment that melted my heart yesterday....
I was reading a book to Hannah about a boy who loved to go to the library. There were three librarians in the story who loved to help him in his pursuit of knowledge -- in the way librarians can help --- categorizing, organizing, etc. And I stopped reading and said to Hannah, "maybe I should be a librarian. I love to categorize and organize." And she replied "no, I want you to be my Mommy."
Saturday afternoon we had company -- the kids love to have people come for dinner and a visit. My good friends from seminary - Marvel and Jim and their daughter Emi came up from the Denver area (they recently relocated to Colorado from San Diego). It was so fun to see them again and to meet Emi! The kids enjoyed having a new friend come visit. As soon as our guests left, Hannah told me she missed them. It was fun to watch our kids play -- reading books together, 
playing hide-and-go-seek with their Daddies while the Mommies got to catch up a little, 
and concluding the evening with a game of ring-around-the-rosie. 
It was an action packed few hours especially in our cozy apartment. We're so glad they made the trip up here! 
It was especially fun for me to see Marvel in the role as Mom -- this was a first for me. Emi's a sweet girl and it's evident she is loved very much. We look forward to seeing them again soon!
