No Me Not!

Hannah has been progressing into sentences and new ways of expressing herself. And I must say, that I am impressed with her selection and usage of words. Not too much baby talk for this little one. A couple of weeks ago "myself" was her main word of choice. Now, she likes to tell us that she doesn't want to do something by saying "no me not". OK, it is a double negative, but I'm curious about her injection of the word "not", which is said clearly and with emphasis. A spitfire, this one.

Winter Festival

Bend threw its annual Winter Festival this past weekend, and ironically the temperatures topped 25 for the first time in weeks. They trucked 45 loads of snow from Mt. Bachelor to a street downtown and filled one block with a snow raceway. Dave participated in sprint races on the strip, while Hannah and I cheered on... and Hannah enjoyed running back and forth in the puddles. It was quite a site to watch such great racers speed past you at eye level.
