Visit with Paul

On Sunday night, Paul Scibetta came to our church. He finally got to meet Ethan and Hannah after a year of just seeing pics of them on Flickr and my blog. Just thought I would post the pics of him here with Ethan and then one of him with Ethan and Hannah. Paul wasn't sure that he could hold them both at the same time, but he managed! As you can see by the 'wail' on Hannah's face, she wasn't impressed when Mommy handed her over. It's nothing personal Paul, she has just been having a hard time since I went back to work. She doesn't seem to want to go with anyone else when I'm around.

This pic is of all the people there on Sunday night who belong to Flickr. It was a great night...and it was really great to talk with Andrea and Paul. We definitely would love to have you come back and sing again .... (hint, hint..)

ONE YEAR OLD!!!!!

It's hard to believe...but one year has passed since Ethan and Hannah came into our lives...and what a change their presence has made! We can't remember what life was like before the joy of having such a beautiful son and daughter. They have brought us more joy and happiness than we could ever express!

Hannah likes to do the splitz! Oh to be so flexible... Maybe she will be a future gymnast!

Official family photo on the 1st Birthday! (Believe me it was tough to get one this good...)

1st Birthday Party!

We had Ethan and Hannah's 1st birthday party yesterday (Saturday) so that it wouldn't be so busy today (their actual b-day)....especially since I have to go back to work tomorrow. :O(

This picture of everyone didn't turn out because the flash wouldn't go off for some reason...but you get the idea of how ridiculous everyone looked for the occasion! We wish more people could have been there to help us celebrate...but the house was full enough!

Here is Ethan's 1st taste of cake! He wasn't sure what to make of everyone standing around and watching him eat.

As you can see from this face, I don't think she was really impressed with the taste of chocolate cake (no offence to the cake-maker ... Amanda).

Here, she pulls out all the smiles! She knows everyone is watching her...
