Hanna's Home

Housekeeping

Hello my friends,

Just a bit of housekeeping for you. Because we want you to stay in touch, we've made Hanna's Home easier to find. You can now just type in  www.hannashome.com instead of that other URL mama had that was pretty hard to remember.

Hope you are enjoying the pictures. Mama is away for a week at a speaking course. So, dad and I are going to be hanging out. I'm sure there will be plenty of housekeeping required after that. I'm just getting the hang of the broom.

With Love,
Miss Hanna

Run away

Some days with Hanna are literally a run away... she's running away and I'm running after. Who needs cardio with her around?

I took Hanna to my spiritual centre the other day. Picture this... everyone is quietly meditating while Hanna is running up and down the aisles making her cat sound -- which sounds more like a cat in heat. It was a run away, alright.

As I attempted to settle Hanna down, I had this intriguing thought. When children are young, we want them to sit still and be quiet -- especially when it inconveniences us. Then when they're older, like in junior high, we're concerned about their increasingly sedentary lifestyle and want them to be more active. Oh, and we wish they would open up to us so we could hear what they're thinking.

How's that for irony? Who's teaching the behaviors?

Everything in moderation, but I say, let the children be heard, before they run away.

A Roots kid

I wonder if Roots clothing is accepting new models...

Meet Liliana

Everyone say hello to Liliana! 

She's the newest baby in our household and a great model to teach Hanna to be "gentle with baby". Unfortunately, Hanna's excitement has seen Liliana drowning in the toilet (Hanna thought Liliana would like to swim...), being dragged around by her hair, and stepped on or thrown across the room.

Slowly, we are making progress though. Hanna has now decided that Liliana also needs to be cared for.

Progress is good...

Ford tough

Wow, dad, this sure is a BIG TRUCK.

Here, let me pick off some of the bugs for you. Goodness knows we'll get more when we drive back home to Saskatchewan soon...

Can I drive this truck some day dad?
