Aaron was so excited and poor little Joshua's cord was wrapped around his neck causing lots of facial bruising-it healed in about a week but was initially a little scary!

Hannah's Flower Girl Debut: Heather and Gerson's Wedding
October
October has been jam packed full: all fun stuff! It started with a trip to Missouri for my cousin Heather's wedding where Hannah was the flower girl. She did a great job and loved wearing her "flou flou girl dress." Carter, her cousin, was the ring bearer and besides the fact they were adorable (we are a little partial) they loved hanging out with each other and with Mary-Evelyn and Allie.
As soon as she got home from there we were at one of her friend's house and she was wearing big girl panties. When we got home Hannah went and got a pair of her big girl panties (which as far as this point and mainly been in the drawer) and decided she wasn't wearing diapers anymore. She only had 1 accident and that has been nearly two weeks ago!
This past Friday we went to a local football game and Hannah loved it! She called it a "football ball game," and thinks the "bulldog was nice." She loved the hot chocolate and popcorn and couldn't take her eyes off the field during the marching band performance.
As October comes to a close, she's excited to be Cinderella for Halloween because she gets to wear her flower girl dress again (as part of the costume). We are in full swing of getting the house together as Baby Meier #2 should be making his or her arrival in about 5 weeks (Dec. 6th ish!)

Just one of the many times Hannah went swimming in Minnesota during our trip.
September
September seemed to be a blur as we got adjusted to Hannah being at school and settling into a routine. Once we were settled, I worked a Maritz trip to Hawaii while Aaron stayed and played Mr. Mom-a duty he more than enjoys!
August
August was busy as Aaron turned 30 on the 1st, and then Hannah and I headed to Minnesota for 10 days, leaving on the 3rd. We had a great time getting spoiled by the Meiers. They took us to a Twins game, Clown night decorating sugar cookies, swimming almost everyday, the zoo, just to mention a few of the highlights! Aaron arrived from his work travels to join us for the last 4 days which included celebrating Andy's 21st birthday!
The day after we came home, Hannah started preschool or "church" as she calls it! It is at our church and called, "Mother's Day Out." She goes twice a week from 9-2 and is just loving it. Her speech has improved so much, that her teachers were shocked to find out that she had even needed assistance! Yeah God for that!
Hannah and I did make a week long trip to Missouri to hang out as Aaron was in Mexico with Maritz. While there we went bowling: Hannah's 1st time. They even have shoes that little! With the bumpers up she practically did as good as me and DanPa. We also went to the zoo and spent a lot of time at the castle (Little Tikes play castle in mom and dad's backyard).
Happy 30th

July
In July, we started the month with a vacation in Charleston, SC with Aaron, Hannah and I, my parents, my brother Doug, sister-in-law Angela, their two cuties Mary-Evelyn and Allie and Angela's parents Raymond and Benita. We all shared a HUGE home walking distance from the beach and had a great trip.
Later in the month, Hannah took her first trip down the runway as a model! She was in a local fashion show where little girls showed off the outfits their mothers had made for them-she did a great job and loved all the attention.

Here are some pictures of Hannah keeping busy this summer. We've had a lot of activity so far and the summer seems to be flying by. She sure makes everything a little sweeter for us!
