Practicing for the Easter bunny!

We are being so very positive that spring is just around the corner, but what a better way to entertain a 14 month old inside than to practice finding those Easter Eggs. Last week, I was getting out some of the Easter decorations and I gave Gage the plastic eggs from last year, and boy did he have fun. He has wanted to play with them every day since. He opens and closes them, and I hide them (obviously not very hard) and he will find them (with a little help from momma.) I took a few pics of him playing with them.

Yay Daddy is home!

Daniel came home from his two week stint on the drilling rig, and Gage and I were so happy to see him. We had a couple pretty days when he was home so we packed a picnic lunch and headed to our favorite park. Here are a few pics I took of the day! Gage is getting so big and is little Mr. Independent. Now when we go to the park, he no longer likes to be in the stroller. He either wants to push it himself, or walk on his own. It is so funny to watch these days!!

Visit from the Martin Family over Valentine's Day!

I know I am way behind on blogging. Daniel was home for his two weeks off, so blogging was not my first priority. Daniel came home on the Thursday before Valentine's day to a 14 month old throwing up everywhere. We had our first bout with throw up as parents and let me tell you, that is something I hope doesn't happen again for a long time. My Dad, Becky and brother's and sister were scheduled to come up Saturday so we told them to go ahead and come on up because we thought it was only a little 24 hour bug. Well, Gage had it for about 72 hours and then he so nicely passed it on to his mother. (After my family left, they got it too! UGH!!!) Anyway, other than feeling yuck most of the time they were here, we had a really good visit. Gage got to hang with his Grampie, Bebe and uncle and aunts as well as his Daddy he hadn't seen for two weeks. We had good weather, so we were able to spend some time outside, as well as yummy food and fun playing Apples to Apples after the little man went to bed. Here are a few pics that we captured of their visit. (Thanks Becky for sending me these! Since I was feeling bad, I didn't take pics!)

Mommy and Baby Swim Classes

Gage loves the water so we decided to get him signed up for swim classes with mommy on Mondays and Wednesdays. We have met some fun new friends and really enjoyed getting to spend some time in the (kinda cold) water. Now, I just can't wait for summer to come so we can swim outside in the sun! Come on Summer!! Daniel has been home this week so he was able to come and watch as well as take a few pics. Please excuse my very white body! (It's blinding!)

Happy Valentine's Day-A little late!

The stomach bug has been going around the Hansberger household so I am a little late in posting several blogs but here are a few pics from Valentine's day! Stay tuned for post of the Martin Family visit and park and playtime with Daddy!

February Visit from Gigi!

These last two weeks have been really hard with Daniel out of town and the snow and ice keeping us house bound, so Gigi coming to visit was a much needed TREAT!! Gigi spoiled both Gage and I!! She cooked, cleaned, folded laundry and played with her grandson which was such a help to me! My mother is such a wonderful women and I am so thankful to have her available to come in visit on a pretty regular basis. Here are a few pictures of her visit.
