Our Little Hazelnut Day 2

 Introducing the Hanson Trio!

 One Proud Uncle!

                             Two adoring Aunts!

 A happy Grandma!

 Happy Great-Grandparents!

As is tradition in our family, we went and decorated the Hanson house to announce and rejoice in the birth of their new little one coming home. We planted flowers in the yard, chalked the side walk, made a banner, and a balloon bouquet! We are crossing our fingers it doesn't rain until after they get home.

 It's hard to see in the pictures, but it says Hazel across the banner.

Adventures of the Week of June 10

This week has been full of adventures. It was my Aunt Teresa's Birthday. Cailie got her learner's permit, so I have started to coach her in driving. Mandolyn is overdue and waiting anxiously for little Hazel to make her arrival. So Tuesday was spent in diversion activities. We made the cutest letters that spell out Hazel for the nursery. Wednesday, I went to the dentist only to find out that I needed an old filling replaced, so I went back in the afternoon for the filling. The dentist could not get me numb, so I got pumped full of more local anesthetic. Only problem was it didn't really go into effect until I left the dental office. I could barely talk because half of my tongue and bottom lip were so numb. Eating was out of the question. I definitely have more sympathy for stroke/hemiparesis patients. It lasted for about four hours! It is so nice to be able to have feeling back in my mouth!! Now onto work, work, work the rest of the week, but I sure have enjoyed my days off.

Flash from the Past

Okay, so kinda a funny story... I was googling myself just to see what would come up and this article about me came up. I don't even remember being interviewed for it. Too funny. Well, I decided to blog it because it is a good summary of my life in high school. However, it does make me sound much cooler than I was. But hey, I have accomplished my goal of getting my BSN. What's next you might ask? Well that is the question of the hour....

I can hardly believe it, my 2nd to youngest sister is old enough to have a learner's permit for driving! When did I get so old? Anyways, happy birthday to Cailie our June bug! I love her so much and am grateful to have her as my sister. Cailie always makes me smile and laugh. With Cailie around, the world is always a happy place!
