Happy Birthday Hannah
Hannah turned 3 this week to much fanfare! Dad took a special early flight home Tuesday night so he could spend Wednesday with the birthday girl. She brought special birthday cookies to school (put the sprinkles on herself!) and spent the afternoon flying her new kite from Grandma Mc. at the park. After her birthday supper (the requested chicken and green beans - that's my girl), we had cake and ice cream and she opened all her presents. So far the favorites are the Dora Dancing Game and the Sand & Water Table. She looks so old when she is dancing to the Dora game, and Lucy is hilarious because she totally tries to do the moves too. The other much-asked-for present was a big dump truck. We have no idea where she got the idea that she wanted one, but I was happy to oblige. Somehow I don't think boys tuck their stuffed animals in the back of the truck for naps, though.
Today, we met up with some friends at Millennium Park for a small birthday picnic. The weather turned out surprisingly perfect and Hannah had an awesome time running around with all her friends. We'll miss that park so much - such an awesome Chicago space. It was the perfect day - good friends and family relaxing outside. When we got home, Hannah was so tired, she stuck her french fry in her eye. With ketchup on it. That's pretty tired.
Now begins the mad dash of our last month before we move on May 20th. We've sold the condo (THANK YOU GOD!), now just one more to go. We had 3 showings at the house this week, so we're keeping our fingers crossed!
