Let's Go....Mountaineers!

Grandma & Grandpap Folger make sure Hannah is outfitted in WVU gear. Here are some fun shots...

Hannah discovered that Mommy's BlackBerry is fun to play with....probably not the intended use, but she seems to enjoy it.

Hannah doesn't like it when it is moved out of her reach - our girl is a climber!

Folger Christmas

Since my sister and I and Jon's sister & brother all got married the same year, we were able to set up a good holiday schedule with our in-laws. We rotate Christmas and Thanksgiving every year. This year was a "Folger Thanksgiving," but we went ahead and brought the gifts that we'd already purchased for Christmas so we wouldn't have to ship them.

I didn't know it beforehand, but Mom went ahead and set up a Christmas tree so she could see Hannah & Liam open some of their gifts. It ended up being pretty funny because Mom actually hadn't done her shopping yet...she just wanted to see what Karen & I had gotten for the kids.

Hannah opening her first gift!

Daddy has to help a little.

Even Bogart likes to open presents --
and he's actually better at opening than the kids!

Grandpap Folger helps Liam open his presents.

Uncle Daniel got Liam and Hannah boxes of Cheerios!

Aunt Karen got Hannah some fun blocks.

Liam discovered Hannah's "snack trap" with puffs inside....

This Christmas was a fun preview for what it will be like in a few weeks for Hannah's first Christmas. I'm excited!

Storytime

Hannah & Liam enjoy storytime together.

Twice the Fun!

Bathtime is twice the fun with you bathe two 10-month olds at the same time. Hannah and Liam have so much fun together and have really started to interact. It is so much fun to watch them play. I wish my sister and I didn't live 7+ hours apart!

Splish Splash!
All done....time for stories and bed!

Thanksgiving

Jon and I have so much to be thankful for this year...our healthy baby, a marriage that has grown stronger through adversity, wonderful families, and good friends. This year we celebrated Thanksgiving in West Virginia with my side of the family. We had 15 people spend the night at my parents house -- it was crowded, but certainly a good time.

Bogart & Abby

Hannah & Liam enjoyed playing together

now that they're both mobile.

Hannah's first Thanksgiving meal
She loves her green beans!

(Mommy's girl!!)

Liam ate a lot more "big people" food than Hannah did.

He's quite the eater!
