People ask me if I miss teaching. I do miss the classroom, but I sure do love having my own little student now. There is nothing like getting to teach your own! :) She's a super fast learner and soaks it all in. Seth and I think it's actually kinda scary...but what an absolute joy she is!! :)

Two more new words

Yesterday, I learned two more new words. Mommy is trying to help me learn to say "help" when I need something instead of crying. Yesterday she taught me the sign and was was excited to see that when I tried to do the sign I also said "help". So today we have been working on asking for "help" when needed. I also said "Papa" for the first time yesterday. Mom and I were looking at all the pictures of friends and family on our refrigerator (have you seen our refrigerator?!) and talking about who each one was. Mommy said Papa and asked me if I could say it. I said "Papa" (This is Grandpa F.) over and over again. Mommy called him to tell him the news and I even said it on the phone for him. How exciting! :)

new words

Yesterday was exciting day for us...
It's exciting to see how much Hannah is learning and growing everyday. We are just having SO much fun together!
One of Hannah's favorite things to eat is soup...so yesterday we had vegtable soup for lunch. When I brought Hannah's bowl to the table she pointed at it and said "hot". She also touched Seth's leg after he got out of bed in the morning and said "hot". Then later in the day she picked up a candle (unlit of course) and said "hot". It's neat to see her learning new words and connecting the meaning to them. (Here's the video...lots of me talking...and not very exciting....but aleast you can hear her new word)

Hannah is also learning how to communicate more and more everyday. I was in the kitchen working yesterday and she came up to me and signed "banana". She asked me for a snack! :o)
Then...when I told her that it was bedtime, she signed "bath". I wasn't going to give her one last night...but bless her heart...how do you turn that down?
It was an exciting day for me too! I am now officially a pampered chef independent consultant! I got my starter kit in the mail yesterday! I'm so excited to use all my new cooking toys and get started with my new buisness! I love pampered chefs products and can't wait to share them with others. I'm looking forward to a chance to make a little extra money and enjoy some (not too many) evenings away from home too. I also used my breadmaker for the first time yesterday! I can't believe that I've had it for so long and have never used it! The house smelled so wonderful and the bread was so yummy! What a great day we had!

Today we enjoyed the blessing of friendship. Sheri came over for a playdate with her 3 precious girls. We enjoyed lots of playtime, lunch, and some time to catch up. Now I am enjoying the quiet of naptime as Hannah & I both rest from our busy morning.

God's Word has been so refreshing to me lately. This morning I finished the last day of my study on the Pslams of the Ascent (Psalm 120-134). We did a Beth Moore Study (Stepping Up) with the ladies at church...and it has been so good! I've been challenged in so many ways. Today's Psalm was Psalm 134 and I thought I would share it with you...I sang the words as I read them today...does anyone else know the song?

"Come bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, who stand by night in the house of the Lord! Lift up your hands to the holy place and bless the Lord!
May the Lord bless you from Zion, he who made heaven and earth!"

Well...today was a blog post from my point of view...I guess maybe we'll go back and forth..some days from Hannah some from me. Thanks for taking the time to read and keep up with what's going on here in the Finnegan house. May God bless your day!
