Apple Pie

What's a girl to do with 10+ pounds of apples?!?! MAKE APPLE PIES, of course!!! So here's Hannah stirring and baking away. Of course, can't have apple pie without the ice cream!



NOTE: Of course we didn't just set Hannah on the counter with the ingredients and let her get to work! (Though she does look like she can manage on her own) Tim was kind enough to take all the photos so I wouldn't miss it! And I arrived home just in time to take the video!

Emily and Todd's Visit

Pictures from June 2008 when Emily came to stay with us for 10 days (BIG help for me and Ms. Slyvie!!!) Uncle Todd came too for the Cubs game.

Bike Riding

Hannah is a pro at riding her bike which was handed down to her from Bre before we left memphis. It was one of the few things Daddy kept for Hannah in our moves. She gets easily distracted...



Hannah on her first bike...at about 15 months.

Apple Picking

Last weekend we went apple picking in Indiana. We went last year later in October and missed a lot of the apples. this year we made sure to go early... Hannah was all set with her little bag (which was a gift from Maggie/Bre who are way down under in Aussie). She filled her bag up pretty quickly with apples and said "It's okay, I am big so I can carry it all." And to her daddy "Daddy, my bag is full. You need to fill yours up!" We came home with 10+ pounds of apples. View slide show here or click here.

Neurologist-in-training

Hannah helped me study for my neurology practical exam. Honestly I did not torture her or anything. she really really liked helping me. Nothing gets her laughing more than to see my reflexes with the reflex hammer. Here's a video...HANNAH WAS NOT HARMED IN ANYWAY OR FORCED TO MAKE THIS VIDEO. =)
