Remember me?

It has been a VERY long while since I last posted some pictures of the kids. I am sorry, finding the "extra" time to get on the computer and post does not come very often. Hannah and Collin are doing GREAT! Hannah amazes me everyday with her vocabulary and the things she says crack us up all the time. Today she was trying to pick Collin up, when I told her not to she said to me, "He doesn't have any shoes so I have to pick him up on my boobies." Where does she get this stuff?!? Collin took his first 2 steps today for Matt while Hannah and I were at the Children's Museum in Portland. I was sad that I missed it. He is saying Dada, Mama, Nana (for Hannah) and Hey. He waves buh-bye and loves to shake his head "no." He is such a little man. And if he keeps his smile, he will get away with anything when he gets older. The pictures below are from May and June. I have yet to download the pictures from July and August.

Fun in the tub. Hannah and Collin love taking their tubbies.

Hannah's crazy hair. This will be as close as she gets to having Mommy's curls (This was the result of 2 french braids in her hair from a long weekend at camp.

Collin loves to play Daddy's guitar. He get a kick out being able to make noise.

My little man. He is all grins when he sees the camera.

I will try harder to post more often, but I can't make any promises :)

Fun @ Auntie's

Hannah Collin and Nolan play with play doh in Manchester.

The grand kids! Nolan, Alyssa, Reid, Hannah and Collin.

Christmas from Nanny

We decided that since it was a snowy day and Hannah would have SO many gifts already on Christmas Day, we would let her open her presents from Nanny. She had a blast tearing through her presents.

More pictures

Hannah tried on her birthday gift from Nanny. Fairy wings, tutu and fairy wand. She couldn't wait to put them on. Matt and I were cracking up. Here is our beautiful little "Maine" fairy (gotta love the big purple winter boots). She is ALL girl! She makes us laugh everyday.

Christmas Pictures

Doesn't he look so big. He looks like a little man in this picture. I love how he is just lounging.

Peek-a-boo Hannah.

Trying to get her to sit still for one picture was not going to happen this time. All though I think I'll look back and laugh at this one.

Time for an Update

Our beautiful blue eyed girl. Hannah fits into the jacket a friend had bought for me when she was born.

Collin is happy because Daddy put him in his Patriots jammies.

Guy smiley!

How cute are these two!

Our naked little turkey. It was so warm at my parent's house on Thanksgiving that we stripped Collin right down to his diaper. He LOVED it!

My little bear. He is so stinkin' cute in his bear snuggly.




Hannah's First Hair Cut

It took me about a month to persuade Matt into letting me cut Hannah's hair. So the week before her 2nd birthday he finally broke down and Hannah got her first real hair cut.

She kept saying, "Mommy, Angie come and cut my hair!"

Hannah's big girl hair cut.

Collin plays in his jump-a-roo. He loved pushing his feet and bouncing around

Hannah's TWO!

She knew just what to do with her cake. She started out by sticking her finger in the side for a tase of frosting. Then just listened while everyone sang Happy Birthday. And as soon as the song was over she blew out her candles.

Checking out her Adirondack table and chair set from Grappy and Grammy.

Hannah opens her gift from Auntie Becky and Uncle Mark.

A New Addition to The Family

My little Flower Girl

Putting Hannah to Work

Hannah helps Matt haul the hose into the basement to be stored for the winter after helping him clean his car. She was so cute running around with her onesie and rubber boots.
She also LOVES helping with laundry. I hope she continues to like to help around the house.

Is Collin ever coming out?! We take some pictures to show how big my belly is.

A couple nights before Collin was born we were down in the family room and Hannah came over and was loving my belly. I asked her if she was excited to hold baby Collin and she said, "Mommy, Collin stuck!" I couldn't have agreed more!!

He's Finally Here!!!

Collin Matthew Churchill

October 14th, 2008

9lbs, 10 ozs., 21 inches, and a 14 inch head (Pheww!!)

My how time flies!

Again it has been too long since our last Blog. Since April we have found out we are having a boy. So Collin Matthew will be joining us in October. When we ask Hannah where's Collin, she lifts up my shirt and shoves her little finger into my belly. She loves to give him kisses which lately has turned into her giving raspberries on my belly. We have been working hard on separating her from her pluggy. She is VERY attached. We try to limit pluggy time to snuggle and bed time and she is doing okay with it. The next big thing will be to get her to sleep in a toddler bed so we can move the crib to Collin's room. The problem is, Hannah LOVES her crib. It is like her security blanket. So that will be tough.

For about a month now she has been showing interest in the potty, but everytime we put her on it, she just sits there. This past Thursday, just before Matt picked her up at Lisa's, she finally went pee on the potty. We were so excited! Maybe we can get those diapers off her before we have to buy them for 2.

Hanging out in the pool.

She loves to wear her pink hat and sunglasses when she goes outside.

Splashing Around!

The evening before we had our yard sale Hannah decided she would make good use of the puddles outside after a day of rain. It started whenafter her bath, she handed Memere her winter boots and said, "Boots! Snow!" So Memere put on her boots and they headed outside. She had a blast running through the water and doing "Happy Feet" while the water soaked her.

Here is a quick video of her in the puddle, I took it on my digital camera, so it is kind of shaky.

Putting her to work!

She loves helping with the dishes. Whenever she hears the faucet turn on, she pushes a chair over to the sink.

Auntie Jess' Wedding

Hannah was the flower girl in my friend Jess' Wedding. I think she ended up stealing the show.

As they exchanged vows, there was Hannah smack dab in the front playing peek a boo with all the guests.

Our Little Beach Baby

Hannah tries on Mommy's shoes for size. She was so proud of herself for getting them on.
