Oh No!! Han is already like Uncle Erik. We went to Russell's and Hans was drinking out of the bottle. He loves the sauce. Erik was in from Boston getting ready to move back. Hans is liking that who else would give him a whole bottle of Russell sauce.

Hans and Christian had such a good time playing together at progressive dinner. Hans and Christian didn't get to make it to all of the houses they tired each other out. Hans enjoyed all the houses but especially like Christians because of the toys. Our house was supposed to be one but with the house in the condition it is Nat took our place. Thanks

We have been busy working. Over spring break we are getting new flooring so we decided to refinish the railing and the stairs. Also we pulled apart the powder room and all the floors. Can't wait until it is done.

We have been spending these warmer days outside. Hans has been playing with all the neighborhood kids. The minute he comes out the door they come running. (I am not sure if they want to see Hans more or Kari!) Today they were riding bikes so Kari put on her rollerblades and Hans went in the jogging stroller. That we he could keep up with them. Over the weekend the kids were pushing him in the stroller and in his car. He is loving being outside and playing with his future babysitters.

Mark and I got out first night out. We went to house of blues to see Toby Mac. It was a blast. We couldn't have been any closer. We went to see him two years ago, so we decided lets do it again. Last time we ate dinner there and got an express pass into the concert. We did it again and got to be right up front and center. This was our first time leaving Hans with a babysitter besides Grandma Judy, but he survived. Grandma Judy was in Texas to see Auntie Illona who is dealing with cancer, our thought and prayers are with her.

Hans dances it up!

After D"s b-day party, Hans went down for a nap. Then he woke up and went to R&R's annual Mardi Gras. He once again found some more girls to get attention from. Hans took over the dance floor. He likes to shake his booty. It is so funny. He had everyone entertained. Ria decorated so well that Hans was in heaven with everything to look at.

Hans at Derek's 1st b-day

Hans loved the chair Derek got for his birthday. (Hey auntie tt, I know what I would like for my birthday a chair like this. Did you know they have them at your work?) He spent most of his time sitting and climbing on it. Once again, Hans gets all the girls attention, but we liked the picture where Isis got his attention. That was his first 1st b-day party and of course he went right for the gifts. He is definitely ready for his 1st birthday.

Every work morning I have a difficult time getting out the door to work. I love teaching, but it is so hard to leave this little guy!! Today Hanzie went to Christine's house. He loves it there, and he plays with his bud Derek. When daddy dropped him off Hans had to show off by jumping up and down making Derek laugh. He may have my blue eyes but he definently has Mark's sense of humor.

Hans is loving music! He is becoming an expert at mixing it. The only problem is sometimes he gets distracted and start to dance.

We have had so much snow. We don't think it will ever end. Luckily, Hans loves it. Just like Karin loves penguins, he loves his penguin sled. We spent some time outside on Sunday playing in the snow. It is supposed to warm up this next week. Kari just would like it warm before she goes to Boston.

The best purchase we could have made. Hans loves his ball pit. We went out to toys r us and found two ball pits, but this one is his favorite.

Hans loves to spend much of his time in the bath tub. He always has to have his rubber ducky with him.

For those of you who didn't get to see our christmas picture here it is. We never got around to sending it out.
