Last weekend we celebrated my dad's 75th birthday and also my sister's birthday.
The guests of honor, Daddy and Katherine.
Here are a few random shots:
This is one of my favorites from the whole weekend!
Hannah played dress up this week. She loves to walk around in my high heels! Is it me, or does she look about 5 years old in this picture?
I think she realized that heels aren't as easy to walk in as they look!
On a positive note, the doctor has given me the go-ahead to start working out again. My foot feels much better and I hope that it will continue to heal and strengthen. I've had a few good workouts this week and went on my first run this morning. I felt great...until my knee started aching afterwards. I guess I'm expecting my body to do what it did when I was 16. This is the first time in my life that I've ever felt "old".
I really feel like God was watching over Hannah tonight. Mark and I decided that tonight would be the night that we would convert her crib to a toddler bed. When Mark took the crib front off he found a BLACK WIDOW spider hiding in her sheets. I freaked out! Of course this led to removing everything from the bed, changing the sheets, vacuuming, and cleaning the room. I try very, very hard to keep our house clean, but this makes me think that I may not be doing as good of a job as I thought.
Hannah was so excited to sleep in her new "big girl" bed tonight!! She went down without a peep. I'm anxious to see what she does tomorrow morning when she wakes up! We had several "talks" about not getting out of bed when she wakes up, but to call Mommy or Daddy to come get her. We will see! Here is a picture of her in her new bed.
If you look closely at the picture above, you'll see that she found her "big girl" underwear tonight! Since they have Elmo on them, she insisted on putting them on over her jammies. Here is another view.
What a silly girl! I told her that she could start wearing them instead of a diaper when she starts using the potty on a regular basis. Unfortunately, she's just not there yet. Maybe this spring!

That is hilarious!!! It's even the same underwear!! Too cute!
As for the black widow thing, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the cleanliness of your house, it's been cold out, so they are just making their way indoors. Matt found one in our front yard last year doing yard work and it freaked me out. Those are dangerous little suckers. Thank goodness you guys were able to catch it. Hannah's guardian angel was doing her job!!
Eeks! I'm glad you guys found the spider before it found Hannah :(
I love the pictures. Hannah is so silly :)
Hey there! I just wanted to respond about our potty thing. I actually got it at a consignment sale, but I think I've seen something similar made by the brand "Century", but I can't remember where I saw it. I like it because it gives them the independence they want with getting on and off the potty. It works better than a stool with the seperate potty seat because it's hard for them to turn around without the seat sliding off! I highly recommend it!!
