The Hannah Family

Oreo sleeps upside down all the time

Empty nests suck

All four kids are at school today.

Ugh. 

Luckily it's only for 3 weeks and then Dave will be tracked out for 3 weeks.

Sweet!

Katie got her learner's permit today

It feels weird having her drive me around (for both of us)!

We're picking up Matt's brand new car in the morning

It's a silver Mazda 3 just like Mark's - except Matt's has a trunk.

Vinny has settled in well to the menagerie

Constant bargaining

Matt and Mark are going deep sea fishing tomorrow.  Dave really wanted to go, but I told him he'd have to wait until he is at least 7.

Dave:  "How about 6?!"

David Mark

I changed my name to Pizza.

Take me out to the ball game

We were pretty far away from the Durham Bulls field last night, but right next to the play area so Claire and Dave made the most of it (as always, click on pics to enlarge).

For the record, I heart adoption

Dave (age 5):  Um, Mom?  Don't ever send me back to my real family.

Me (always prepared):  Huh?

Dave:  I know I'm adopted, but I want to stay with you forever.  I'll be good.

Me:  Did Matt say you were adopted?

Dave:  No.  I just know.

Me:  Honey, if you were adopted I would tell you.  You weren't.  You came from Dad and I, do you understand?

Dave:  Which one of you did I come out of?

Me:  Me.  Is that okay?

Dave:  Yeah.

Me:  You are my sweetheart.

Dave:  You are my sweetheart too.
