Great Grandpa and Grandma Come to Visit

In June, Hannah had some very special visitors, Great Grandpa and Grandma Piehl. It was a wonderful visit, filled with lots of love for Hannah.

Juneau in June

In late June I had to go to AK to take a course towards my Masters Degree. Robbie, Hannah and I flew up there for a two week adventure. (Robbie was only there the first week.)

Juneau was just as we had left it 6 months earlier. It was wonderful to be back and visit many of our friends we made while living there. If it wasn't for my class, I'm not sure we would have gotten back there so quickly since the move.

Robbie watched Hannah during my class the first week and the second week Hannah attended college with me. As usual, she never seizes to amaze me. She did superbly during class, and believe it or not, I even completed my assignments on time and received an A in the course.

Although I couldn't of done the second week on my own, thank goodness for our friend Carol. She helped out each evening with Hannah so I could accomplish my homework.

We got out Halibut fishing on Chad and Monica's boat early in our stay. Hannah didn't catch the big one, but maybe next time. The fishing wasn't great, but it was wonderful to be back out on the ocean. Robbie got out fishing several more times in the evenings with Chad also. In the future though we won't be mixing business and pleasure again. There's just so much we wanted to do, but I had to be responsible and leave the playing to another visit.

2 Months Old

Hannah is now two months old, and has changed already so much. She smiles back at us now, and is making cooing sounds as well. We took her in yesterday for her two month check-up and first set of immunizations. She did very well and is fit as a fiddle. Actually she weighed in at a whopping 10 pounds 10 ounces. She is getting those cute little fat rolls on her legs and arms, and is so much more alert now. Her awake time has increased, and she does very well sleeping, usually only waking mom once in the middle of the night.

Hannah's May Visitors

During the month of May Hannah got to meet some more family and friends.

Grandma Coni came to visit Hannah for a week.




Papa and Nonna came to Redmond, and we got to enjoy a vacation too.



Hannah also got to meet Uncle Lance and her best pal Giddy.

Look What I Made

Today I finally finished a project I started before Hannah arrived. It is a mobile with contrasting colors. I guess for the first three or so months, baby's enjoy black, white and red colors. So I since I took a month to complete this, I'll be back at creating the next one in a couple more months, when Hannah will enjoy pastel colors.
