Sheila, Dan, Steven and Hannah's Blog

Hannah is the cutest little bathing beauty ever! 

What a beach bunny! 

Hannah models her sunglasses and new beach coverup. 

Hannah tries to bonk Daddy and is thrilled that he plays along! 

Hannah winds up for a crack at Daddy's head! 

Daddy flies backwards to Hannah's delight after being whacked with her fairy princess star wand. 

Hannah cracks up at having bonked Daddy on the head! 

Playing and giggling take a lot out of a little girl! Hannah enjoys a nap on Daddy. ZZZzzzzzz....

Hannah is eight months old now! I can't believe how fast the time is going! We will be in Georgia on vacation in less that three weeks! We are all so excited to be visiting both of our families this year. I am looking forward to meeting Dan's extended family, finally!
 

Hannah loves taking a bath in the kitchen sink! Daddy was making faces at her, too! 

Hannah says hello to Zorro. We have a picture of Steven at that age doing the same thing! 

Here is Steven's picture from T-Ball this year. Doesn't he look grown up? 

Sweet swimsuit Mimi bought for Hannah! 

Hannah grins at Steven goofing off nearby. 

Bright sun! 

Little Miss is sooooo cute! 

Steven holds Hannah up so we could see her new swimsuit! 

Julian and Steven enjoy a box of powdered doughnuts on the way to Anchorage.

Pretty hanging baskets outside the Anchorage Federal Building. 

Michelle wanted pics of these flowers. 

Anchorage Welcomes YOU! 

Steven and Sheila stopped and participated in the most environmentally friendly form of graffiti ever...Rock names! We added "Waters" to an embankment, and Steven threw rocks at me while I was trying to get his picture. 

Here is one of the beautiful rainbows Steven and Sheila saw on the way home from Anchorage. It eventually became very tall and thin, and had a second one appear faintly beside it. It was gorgeous! 

Boy I have been posting a bunch of pictures and haven't been really writing what's been going on! Sheila's sister, Michelle, and her son Julian came up to visit us from New Orleans. We have had a good time visiting and I am driving her back to Anchorage tomorrow so they can fly home. We will see them again in August when we go to the beach house in Savannah. Julian has had a fantastic time getting to know Dan. Unca Dan, Unca Dan, UNCA DAN! That's about all we've heard for the last two days! Today we drove up Mineral Creek Canyon and checked out some great waterfalls. We did a lot of off roading and got to go down and put our hands in the creek. The water was super cold and running really fast. I would have liked the weather to have been clearer. It was really rainy and cloudy. Hopefully we will get to see some sunshine and wildlife tomorrow on our drive!  

Michelle, Julian, Dan, Hannah, Sheila, and Steven all stand in front of a waterfall in Mineral Creek Canyon. We took our first family picture in Alaska two years ago in front of this same waterfall.
