How do you like my new lip liner?

A Stroll with Gorin

Uncle 'Gorin', Aunt 'Asheesh', Momma, and I walked to dinner last week in Historic Roswell. I got tired of the stroller, so Uncle 'Gorin' tossed me up on his shoulders. After a while I wanted to run out in traffic, but they wouldn't let me for some reason.

My 'too-toons' look better through Mom's glasses.

just had to post this

While most were asleep at midnight Wednesday, two Lake Martin area students were beginning an 8-hour drive to the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Va., to make a special delivery.

Auburn University seniors Cary Farrington of Dadeville and Ryan Hill of Alexander City were responsible for carrying a 4-foot by 8-foot sheet of plywood with up to 3,000 signatures, including interim president Ed Richardson.

The two seniors drove eight straight hours to Blacksburg to deliver and help put the sign up along with six or seven other signs in a makeshift memorial on the drill fields of Virginia Tech.

"Everyone there thought it was pretty cool," Farrington said. "They couldn't believe we drove all the way from Auburn."

There aren't any known immediate ties between Auburn and Virginia Tech, except for the fact the two universities' football teams met in the 2005 Sugar Bowl in New Orleans.

The sign, which reads "We stand with you in Prayer," was the first from another university to be erected in the memorial area of the drill fields, according to Farrington.

Farrington said he didn't talk to many students on campus, because there weren't that many on campus Wednesday morning.

"It was really surreal," Farrington said. "We didn't get to talk to a lot of the students except those in [the student government association]. But you can tell the general consensus is that it hasn't hit home just yet. They are still in shock."

A-Cow-Wah!

A-Cow-Wah!

Hannah has been saying "A-Cow-Wah"! for a couple months now. We thought by now it would have morphed into English, but has not thus far. We've made it the Chambers battle cry! You should try to use it should you ever be stressed... it's quite handy!

It was very cool to see how happy Hannah was this Easter. She is always Happy, but it is really neat for Daddy to see her light up on a holiday like this. Daddy has secret plans to hide eggs about 6 months from now. Easter in October!

Hannah got an encouraging word, and maybe a hint as to where the next egg was hidden.

Easter Papa did a good job of hiding eggs outside, but Hannah found them all.

Got it!

Got it!

An old Pro!

At this point in the day, Hannah was an old pro at hunting eggs. She was on a mission in the back yard. She zeroed in on an egg and darted right for it in this picture.

After Hannah's midday nap, Papa took her outside to find more eggs in the back yard.

Hannah is trying to figure out exactly how many jelly beans she can get in her mouth at one time.

Hannah found the egg behind and under this chair. Instead of just moving the chair likes she likes to do anyway, she decided to craw under it. In case you are wondering, her mouth is full of jelly beans. She got her first taste of Jelly Beans this Easter, and later she decided that would help her not sleep well.

Hannah found this bubble soap in her basket. She walked over to Momma and said, "Mess?" Momma agreed and we opened the bubbles later.

Found it, oh wait that is a lemon.

Hannah found the yellow egg in with the lemons, oh wait, no she didn't. That is a lemon.

Hannah gets into her basket

Hannah figured out that the big basket on the table was for her. It was odd, it took her a while to get her hands into that basket, however, if Daddy puts something on that table, like a beer or a remote control, it takes her no time to get her hands on it. Go figure.

Haircut, is it time?

Hannah has yet to get a haircut, but with this look, Momma might need to consider it.

You might be thinking, Wow Hannah is about to find the yellow egg in the lemons, but you would be wrong. Hannah looked into that bowl several times without spotting that egg.

It didn't take long...

It did not take Hannah long to start the hunt. Nor did it take her long to find those really easy eggs.

Hannah's big entrance

Hannah seemed more excited than normal to come down the stairs in the morning. At this point she did not realize the Easter Bunny had come to visit her, but she figured it out really quickly.
Management is forbidden from posting pictures of Hannah's mother taken in the morning. Management believes this is ridiculous, however since management has to live with Hannah's mother, a little Photoshop editing keeps a happy home.

Look in the lemons...

The Easter Bunny took it easy on Hannah this year, except for the egg in the lemons. The Easter Bunny needs to reconsider hiding eggs on the black leather couches, management does not feel that is a good idea.

Easter Bunny came and ate...

The Easter Bunny came and visited Hannah soon after she went to sleep. It must have been on the first stops for the Easter Bunny, because he devoured the lettuce and carrots Hannah left out for him.

Two fisting like a true party girl.

Hannah could not wait to dye all the eggs so she started two fisting, like a sorority girl at a fraternity party.

But she recovered quickly!

Hannah discovered she does not like the taste of egg shells.

Hannah really enjoyed dyeing eggs despite it being about 2 hours past her bedtime. She is awesome.

Easter Bunny played tricks on Hannah

The Easter Bunny played a trick on Hannah. This yellow Egg Hannah was hidden in a bowl of decorative yellow lemons. Despite Hannah's advanced nature, she was not able to pick out the egg from the lemons on Easter morning. On the plus side, Hannah will never fall for that again.

Hannah and Momma were a good team. Momma was able to escape without any new colors on her white shirt.

Hannah's Eggs

Hannah dyed Easter eggs for the first time this year. As you can tell, Hannah was expected to get messy, so we took off her shirt and put on her "Rain coat", which is actually more like a art class smock shirt.

Hannah's Big Easter

Hannah had a big Easter day today. Momma and Daddy are tired, so there will be some posts later in the week. Oh yea, Hannah is a little tired too, or else she would have posted the rest of the pictures. She is that advanced. -Management

Yo, Yo, Yo

my name is Hannah Liz, if you gimme a record, I can spin it like thiz.

And the Word of the Day is....

"piss". Yes that's right, you read it correctly. Hannah walked up to me yesterday and said piss, piss. I said "what did you say" in that tone of voice that is never good for a child to hear from her mother. Hannah repeated "piss" while she puckered up her lips. OH... you want a KISS! I of course gave her a big kiss! I love her.

-momma

So Big!

I'm bigger than you are!

Hannah loves Ice Cream

Ice Cream

Hannah was really good yesterday, so her parents took her to Bruster's Ice Cream. They took her because she was good, not because they wanted some ice cream. Really. Anyway Hannah usually gets her ice cream in a little bowl, but today she was a big girl and ate her ice cream out of a cone. She was thrilled, however she was very messy too.

Cookies, Cookies

One day, I made the mistake of offering Hannah a cookie as a reward for something. Ever since, she walks around the house and asks for cookies. Very rarely does she get her wish, but tonight she was being extra sweet, so I gave her one. The response was "Yeah, Momma, Yeah, Momma". I guess she thinks I need praise too!

Remember when...

If you have a child you probably remember when that child would sit with you, before that child discovered mobility and freedom. That is when this picture was taken, before Hannah could move freely and run around. Stephanie and I remember that day. That is why this is a great picture, back when Hannah would behave and sit with Daddy for long periods of time. Those days are gone; it is rare when we can get her to do that now. Daddy does know how to get her to do it, threaten to put her in her bed, she will cling on to you like she is falling off a cliff. It is cheap, but Daddy uses it often!

Hannah doesn't want to leave

When class was over and it was time to go, Hannah did not want to give up her mats. It might be because she feels tall on top of the mats. That does it from the first gymnastics class.

Hannah has gotten very attached to this necklace. She does love wearing it all the time.
