Newest Addition to the Family

We are very happy to introduce Hunter Wolfgang Krieg! He was born on June 2, 2010 at 9:14pm. At birth he weighed 8lb 7oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. Hunter is a very mellow boy and he already enjoys spending time with his big sister, Hannah. She is an extremely helpful and loving big sister. Thank you to all of the warm wishes from friends and family, especially Nana and Papa who helped take care of Hannah for the past month.

Easter in San Diego

A Day In The Desert

Hannah and her future little brother posing in front of a yucca plant. The desert is beginning to bloom and the tips of the yucca plant have reddish flowers. You can't see them here, but the flowers are never the focus on this blog anyway.

Hannah with one of her favorite toys, a stick. Whenever we are outside, she must have at least one stick at all times.

A close up of the stick for all to enjoy...


She likes trying on Daddy's sunglasses but doesn't like wearing the identical kid-sized pair we bought for her. Hopefully, she will want to wear them soon enough.

Getting To Be A Big Girl

Hannah enjoys taking showers in addition to baths. She likes to drink the water and also likes to turn around and have it massage her back. This is mid-dance. It's the little things in life that make Hannah happy.

We went to the zoo last week and this young gorilla took a liking to Hannah. At first, we thought it was the chicken nugget, but the gorilla was enjoying having another little one to interact with. The gorilla spent quite a bit of time trying to get Hannah to play with her. Then mother gorilla put an end to the fun and made her head down to where the other gorillas were hanging out. Once in a lifetime photo opportunity.

Here is our big girl all snuggly in her sleeping bag that Nana and Papa had stashed away since Isabella was Hannah's age. She loves to climb inside and enjoy a show.

Here is Hannah enjoying either Madagascar, an animal video, or a Jack's Big Music Show episode. We like her to mellow out in the evenings before bedtime. It seems to be working.

Happy February!

Stephen and I went to a Sabres/Ducks game a couple of weeks ago.

Hannah enjoying a movie to relax before bedtime.

Aunt Michelle made these lovely slippers for our little lady. She loves them and wears them around the house a great deal. Thank you, Michelle.

Here she is showing off her new slippers.

Hannah building a tower out of Legos, a very developmental 2.5 yr old activity. We are very proud of what she can do! She surprises us everyday.

Hannah is enjoying Santa's sleigh at Sea World. She is not a fan of Santa in person, so this worked out nicely.

One of the three rides at Sea World for little guys. This one is called "Elmo's Flying Fish". She liked it, as you can see.

Hannah enjoying petting a sheep at the Zoo.

Thanksgiving Week

Hannah likes saying, "Cheese" to the camera when we take pictures. You'll notice she doesn't always have both eyes open.

Hannah is enjoying her apple cider while we take turns in the buffet line at 94th Aero Squadron. We went to this airplane-themed restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner.

Here we are in the 80 degree weather, enjoying our dinner.

Hannah is getting out some energy after being a good girl and sitting in her chair for over 30 minutes. She loved running up and down the hillside at the back of the restaurant.

We got annual passes for Sea World and took Hannah last week. She and Dad are on one of the little kid rides at Sesame Street's Bay of Play. It is a play area designed for little kids when they need to get out energy after looking at all of the great ocean animals. She really loved the beluga whales and the sharks.
