January and February

As usual, time has gotten away from me.  My mom broke her hip right before new years, so  she's had a partial hip replacement, a couple of hospital stays and two moves (the 2nd to a nursing care facility even closer to the house!)  She is finally settled into the new place and her rehab is actually going really well.   It's nice to see her smiling again!

Hana has kept very busy during this time.  She and Knute went skiing over New Year weekend (I had to stay home and deal with mom) and she's was killing it on the slopes.  Her teacher said she's ready to move up to the next level.  Very exciting!

 

 

She also celebrated her 6th birthday!  The gymnastics place couldn't hold it, as she had hoped, but she had another fun time at Chuck E Cheese's and pretty much her entire class was able to come (along with some other friends too!)  She continues to take and enjoy her weekly gymnastics classes and has had some fun play dates as well!   Hana went to her first sock hop at school as well. 

 

The BIG news was that she lost her very first tooth in January!  We were all pretty excited when that came out and the tooth fairy even came by that night! 

 

At Bruno's for Hana's birthday (her choice!)

 

Along with Britta and Allen getting engaged in December, Maren and David also became engaged.  We went down to their engagement party on the 13th and Hana had a great time seeing most of her cousins.  Looks like there will be two weddings this year, as Maren thinks they will have a fall wedding, instead of waiting until spring 2017.  Fun times!



 

 

 

We also went to the "stadium series" outdoor hockey game at Coors Field last weekend.  While we didn't get ($$$) tickets to the Avalanche/RedWings game next weekend, we got to see DU & CC, which was pretty fun!!
