Week 17

Week 17 was a big week in our house.  Not only was Shane home for good, but Hannah Claire started to school.  I fully expected to be a basketcase, but I wasn't.  In fact, I didn't even cry.  We really like the school HC is at and the teacher is great!  Plus there are only 4 kids in HC's class and two of them were not there the first week.  HC got lots of attention and she loved it.  I think I was just ready for our family to have some sort of routine.  Now with me working, Shane home and HC in school we could finally start life as we now know it.  We had a great Labor Day just hanging out and spending time with some great friends.   Here are some pictures from last week:

HC loves her playmat.  She really doesn't pay any attention to tv until football comes on.  She then forgets everything else and everyone else and zones in on the tv.  Moments before this picture was taken she was playing with her toys.  Now she is focused on some football game.  She is our child.

Here is HC hanging out with our good friends the Coverts.  We had a cookout with them and the Martins on Labor Day.  It was great because they will be moving very soon and we are sad about it.  Yes, they have on UT orange.  They are huge Tennessee fans and it was game night for them.  We watched the first half of the game with them and then came home.  I'm glad we did after seeing how that game ended.

This was HC and Daddy on the first day of school.  You can see the excitement in her eyes.

These were on Friday morning before school.  As true Alabama fans we all wear some sort of UA or red on the Friday before games.  HC is no different.
