OUT!

The second day after Christmas,
after tugging and whining and such;
that stubborn old tooth finally came loose-
the one that mom wanted out so much!

I had wiggled and twisted and turned it,
I said, "Yes! Pull it out! and then "NO!"
The family got frustrated with me-- saying,
"Ya gotta let that new one grow!"

So finally the day came when mother
grabbed a kleenex and moved in quite cunning,
she popped it right out with no trouble and
to my tooth pillow I went a-running!

Signed,

Gap-Toothed Hanna

Christmas Morning Greetings!

The gifts are unwrapped, Christmas Braid consumed, pajamas still on, and comatose family sitting around enjoying their special treats...it's been a fun morning. I hope everyone is enjoying their mornings too! Well wishes to friends and family we are unable to see right now. Thanks to those that sent gifts to the kids; they are spoiled rotten!! They are also excited to go shopping and pick out things later during winter break! Did I mention that I was blogging this from my new laptop Andy got me? Awesome!
Merry Christmas everyone--may you enjoy time with family and friends this season.

Hanna's First Bball Game

Well, she's had her first taste of the hardwood! This morning at 9am, Hanna donned her uniform and took some hesitant steps into basketball season. It was fun to watch but, bless our coach's heart, he's got some work cut out. Hanna runs down the court? Ummm, no....more like sashaying. Hanna goes after the ball? No....more like putting her hands up and cringing when it's loose. Hanna dribbles the ball on her foot, loses it, and comes running over to mom and dad for consoling (in the middle of the game)? Yep! The neat thing was that she played her "boyfriend's" team! Devon--who stays at his Grandma's house across the street from us every day during the summer--got paired up with Hanna right off the bat. There they are together in the pic. Too funny!

She was awesome! We're in for a fun season :-)
