Hannah's first haircut (5/25/09)

Hannah's first haircut!!!
She still has a few curls left in the back, Nichole made me feel guilty.

A proud little girl!!!

Before front shot

Before back shot, just look at all those curls.

While I am thinking about it I just wanted to fill everyone in on Hannah's eyes. We were having some concerns about her eyes wandering when she was daydreaming or drinking. She had her first eye appointment today and had her eyes checked and dilated. They are not to concerned right now as they straighten back out fairly quick. They would like to see her again in three months to keep an eye on her. So far so good!!! I will keep you updated.

A couple snapshots of the Daun area.

I thought this was a very neat bridge, leaving or entering the village of Daun.

That is a whole lot of sheep.

This is the village just outside of the wildpark.

This was almost a month ago. Anyway when we went to Daun this time the GPS took us a new way, so we got to see some new scenery!!! This is a beautiful area, enjoy the pictures.

What the.....

This is what we thought when we saw this. All the villages in Germany, I believe, do this for May Day (May 1st). There is a big celebration. We believe this is a pine tree with the bark and branches shaved off (aka Maypole).

Our "new" table and hutch

So, remember back in February Bill and I purchased a table and chairs for our anniversary gift to each other. Well, we ended up returning it after having two different tables delivered to our house that were damaged. For only $300 more we got this table with 8 chairs and this beautiful hutch. We bought the table, chairs and hutch from a Greek family here in Germany. The table and chairs are from Greece and the hutch is from Holland. The neat thing is that the chairs match our old chairs, except the new ones are a few shades darker. So, the girls are able to use the old chairs with their booster seats, that way we don't scratch up the new ones.

More snapshots of Daniel...

I've got to say he is the cutest little boy!!!

Daniel's four month photo shoot

So, I attempted another photo shoot with Daniel as we still have not made an appointment to have the kids pictures done. The girls have hair appointments now, so we can set up pictures once that is done. I finally also set up a hair appointment for myself, I sure do miss Kaylie coming to our house to do everyone's hair. It has been 10 months since my hair has been cut, yuck. I am in major need of a haircut, that is why I have just been wearing my hair in a ponytail. I am going to a German beautician in our village and the girls are going to the base to a German beautician.

On to Daniel. Well, he started baby food almost two weeks ago and he loves it. With Alyssa and Hannah they were not ready the first time I tried with them, but Daniel sure was. We found out one day when we were at the ice cream shop that he was ready. Daniel was in the sling and every time I took a bite of ice cream he was opening up his mouth. Other exciting news for him!!! He got his first tooth yesterday at 5 months old. I had to look in the baby books to see when the girls got their first tooth. Alyssa got hers at 7 1/2 months, Hannah at 5 months. So, all three got their first tooth at the same time. That is if you correct Alyssa to when she was suppose to be born. I thought that was pretty neat!!!
