The Hannah Family

Happy New Year!

Relieved to see 2014 out the door, hoping fervently next year entails more good than bad.

Copy Kate

Katie couldn't stand to let Claire and I have all the fun, so she spent the majority of yesterday throwing up repeatedly. Let's stop the madness here please.

And now there are two

I have the stupid mean flu! Wouldn't wish this on anyone. Stay healthy and wash those hands!

 

Katie has a part-time job at Pupsi (click any of the photos to enlarge)

It's a doggie day care and kennel in Cary. Here is their Christmas photo:

Oh no, she didn't!

Mark insisted on getting me an iPhone for Christmas (twist my arm), but there is a big learning curve as I've never owned a smart phone; my last carrier was pay-as-you-go from TracFone with no bells or whistles. Anyway I have already uploaded my first 2 videos here and responded to my first text (thanks, Susan!).  Thought I was doing pretty well until I heard Claire comment as I struggled to launch the camera app, "It's like watching a monkey use tools for the first time."

I love Mandy

Took Claire to urgent care today

They couldn't do anything for her because the poor thing has the flu and has been ill for a few days already. She had her flu shot early, actually the nasal mist, but this year's batch is not providing much protection for the strain that's going around (H3N2). The biggest clue besides her myriad of symptoms was when she spent the whole afternoon in bed on the first day, claiming "I'm so exhausted!"

Happy 21st birthday to this cute kid!

Happy 11th Birthday, Claire!

There's a local restaurant Claire wanted to revisit (yes, Georgina - the same one we went to last time, thanks again!) so we ate dinner there on her "birthday eve." Claire's comment beforehand, "I feel taller."
