Life has been busy - as usual - but I'm sorry for being so far behind on blog posts. Here's a recap of the last two weeks (I'm sure I've omitted something meaningful....I'll try to catch up when I remember!)
I was surprised to find that Hannah has cut three of her four two year molars, although the day that this picture was taken should have been a clear indication to me that something big was going on in that tiny mouth of hers. She's been kind of sick-ish for two weeks now and I'm pretty sure this is the root cause. I kept her home from daycare a couple of days anyway to be safe. This was better for all in the long run, I'm sure!We spent Thanksgiving in New Haven with my Mom & Dad and got to visit Carolyn and Wade for an afternoon as well. It was a good break. We ate a lot and slept a lot - two key components of a great Thanksgiving. While in MO, we took Hannah to see the Christmas parade in St. Charles. Aunt Carolyn got her these awesome "jingle bells", which she LOVES. We listened to them in the car for a good majority of the 5 hour drive home. This morning I took Hannah to the State Farm corporate Santa Visit day. It's a neat tradition for the kids of SF employees to come in and see Santa and get a nice gift. Although the visit itself was kind of a bust and Hannah screamed at Santa, she does really like her new blocks and looked pretty cute standing in front of our Christmas tree when we got home. That's about all for now. Another busy week coming up at the Kurz house. My baby turns TWO on Thursday and I can't believe it. I will likely be crying my eyes out in between frantic bouts of birthday party planning. We're looking forward to having family and friends here for her party on Saturday.
