Hannahween part 2

So the primary children's program at church is always the last Sunday of the month and so the practice for it is always the last Saturday. This makes having a party for Hannah a challenge while we live here and while people at church are the only ones I know with kids her age. So I thought I would try something different this year and throw the party the week after her birthday. I invited 6 kids and 4 came, so that worked out well. The problem was the Hannah had Trunk or Treat and her birthday last week end and then Halloween and her party this weekend and she was very wound up. I don't know that I would do this again. My new plan is to retire from parties for a while and see if I want to take it up again later. But here are some of the photos.

Cute! Yes it is hard to have parties for little ones! Love the cake! Especially when you don't know people really super well too. Hannah will think each weekend is a party. LOL. She is a doll!

The Year-Long January

The joke is that January is the longest month of the year. I thought it went quickly. Classes started and winter cold set in. We went to the eye doctor and Hannah waited for the doctor so long, she grew a beard.  Ultimately she decided on glasses that would make her look like Supergirl. I think she really pulled it off. All month I was on pins and needles about the government shutdown trying to decide if it was safe to fly to a conference. Luckily for me, the poor TSA workers and federal folks were able to get back to work. However, the planes I took (4 in all) were mostly empty and I got a row to myself. There was also a polar vortex that didn't help air travel looks appealing. I got there late at night and the room they had left was a large hotel suite. I took it. My colleague Michael Dunn and I divided our presentation up. We both did well. I also found a few good folks from Kansas. Then, I left Indy. When I wasn't worki...

Bygone April

 We decorated for Easter in April. Low key, but cute. Hannah helped make some of them. She even did this painting of the eggs.   And the ceramic ornament in the little house. After Easter I went to Toronto for AERA.   After AERA Easter came. We went to the annual Easter egg hunt.  And colored our own eggs.  And went to church. At the end of the month, we visited my parents in Utah, traveling by plane. It was sunny one of the days and cloudy and rainy the rest, but the visit was nice.  And that was April.
