Summer 2009

Houdini... The Cat Formerly Known as Zoe!

So, last night I was taking out the garbage... and left the back door open to do so... and our cat, Zoe, got out. Usually when she goes out the door, she comes right back. Actually she usually doesn't go any farther than 2 feet from the door. But last night she must have grown some cajones and took off and I couldn't find her anywhere in the dark. It was actually quite saddening, because I really love this cat. She has grown on me, even though she can be really raunchy to other people. So, I looked for her for awhile and then just decided to go to bed and hope that she came home. So, this morning I opened the back door, and what do you know??? Zoe was sitting there waiting for her chow. I guess the grass wasn't greener on the other side!

Trying to stay updated!

Hey everyone! I know I haven't been the best about updating our blog regularly, but I'm really going to start trying more! We have had a pretty eventful summer! Hannah has been a dancing machine, and is now on a competition dance team and loves it! She is also taking tumbling now, which has been really good for her. We have done a lot of swimming, playing outside, went to an amusement park, and Mom even got to go on a cruise with her Mom. Life has been good to us for the most part! Here are a few pictures from this summer.

Hannah was in the Syracuse Heritage Days Parade with her dance studio in June! She loved throwing candy to everyone, and riding on the float. Here is her right before the parade.

Here is Hannah having fun at Lagoon! She was tired of me taking pictures of her on this day, and when I said "smile"... this is what I got!!

Hannah loves the pool in our neighborhood, and has had so much fun this summer swimming with family and friends. Here she is getting ready for a day at the pool! She does the strangest poses!

Hannah's cousin, Logan, turned a year old this summer! We had a great time celebrating his birthday with him and his family, and spending time with him! Isn't he the cutest?

I have tons more pictures from this summer, but am having a bit of trouble with this... so I'm going to do the rest of them with a slide show... if I can figure it out!
