Trip to Royal Oak

We also celebrated Hannah's birthday up at Mamoo and Grandpa's house with the Lansing Harlans, too. Everyone spent the day together at the Henry Ford Museum's Greenfield Village, which was especially fun because they had the Thomas the Train exhibit there... and we took a ride on him first thing... Stephen was enraptured (thanks again, Bill and Deb!)!
Note to self: Stop trying to take pictures of everyone when they're riding the merry-go-round until you get an SLR or your timing improves!!! :) And, Stephanie- I don't know what the deal is with that picture of you on the merry-go-round, but it's so funny that I thought I'd post it just for laughs... if you want me to take it off I will! :)
Hannah really asked Deb to put Happy Horse on her cake... how cute is that? I just made a sundress for her a few days ago and took her to pick out fabric. You'll never guess what the print of the dress is! :) I'll have to take some pics of her in it and post them later!
Please excuse the immense amount of photos- I want to share them with all of the family far away, so I have to include a lot to satiate them! :)

Hannah's Birthday!

Hannah turned 6 on the 26th of April. She requested a strawberry shortcake cake, and her favorite meal... my homemade mac n' cheese with ham and veggies mixed in. I cannot believe my tiny Hannah Bear is 6 now (she was only 6 lb. 9 oz. six short years ago)! She got pink and white roller skates and a pink catcher's mitt and matching ball, and she immediately tried on her roller skates and the mitt and wanted to play catch while roller skating in the living room! :) Happy Birthday again, Hannah!!!

My birthday!

As you know, my birthday was now over a month ago, but I am only just now at the point where I can catch up on all of these pictures and updates, so please forgive me as almost all of these forthcoming posts are outdated! :) Nate took me out to eat again this year... we had so much fun these past two years we've decided to make it a tradition. We ate at Ruby Tuesday's and then had an ice cream cake from DQ (yum... and I didn't have to make it!). We were the only ones in the restaurant because we waited until we were done with school and Nate had finished most of his work for the day. Let me tell you, 2:30 on a weekday is awesome for getting great service and atmosphere! :) Thanks again, Natie (and kids) for a great day!!!
