Christmas Pre-Cursor

Well, here's to a new day of blogging. Here's a couple of pictures to update my life: Here's my crazy husband, Ben, pretending, I can only suppose, to be me. He's got Hannah stuck under my nursing apron. Make sure you check out the expression on his face. He really is hillarious sometimes. And then, I can't put up a post without putting my lovely daughter on it, either, so here she is, in a dress her Grandma Jensen gave to her:

I put this dress on Hannah, and propped her up to take a picture, (and of course I wanted a perfect one, so I was planning on taking several), and I snapped the first one and, click, she smiled at me. She broke into some of the biggest grins I've seen on her yet. I took quite a few more pictures, but I always missed her big smiles and caught just the end. This happened to be the best smiling picture. Oh I do wish I had taken it just a couple of seconds later! But ah well, what to do? I can't decide if she was so happy because she liked the dress, or because she liked getting her picture taken. Vanity is thy name! And very young, too. (I think it's mostly my fault. All I say to her all day is "You're so cute!" "Look at you, aren't you beautiful?" "Where's my gorgeous daughter?" But ah well, what to do? She really is beautiful. I wish I was that cute, and that people gave me beautiful dresses to wear and took pictures of me, too. Wouldn't that be the life? But, no, I guess not. I really am glad I'm not a baby anymore. It's much less boring that way! (I wonder if I thought being a baby was boring when I was a baby? When I look at Hannah now, I can't imagine what she could be thinking, laying there on her back and staring into space for half of the day.)


I'm really excited for Christmas. Seeing Hannah in a Christmas dress made me get all excited for it to come. But maybe without the cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold winter that we all usually enjoy in Calgary. Admittedly, a little snow would be nice, with above average December temperatures, but that's all.


Okay, well, I'll quit blabbing, since really what you probably want is just to look at pictures, anyway, and I'm really not in charge of the weather. 'Till the next time!
