God Bless Hannah En Ming!!




Well, we finally got our daughter baptized. Hannah's Christening was on October 14th and it turned out to be very entertaining as well as beautiful. Hannah enjoyed the water poured on her head so much that she practically dove into the baptismal font and thankfully, Reverend Leslie Mott has a firm grip so nothing sacred got destroyed. Godparents Aunt Debbie and Uncle Ron did a great job especially considering that they kept a toddler amused through an hour long service. Incredible! The Christening was followed by an amazing giant party at Grandma and Grandpa Ettinger's house complete with bouncy house and mountains of food. Thank you so much to all of our family and friends who were so very generous to Miss Hannah!! She is blessed in so many ways! What a fantastic day!

Fall with the Family






Hey Everybody!! Just updating with the latest family photos. Hannah continues to delight and amaze us. She really is coming out of her shell in so many ways. Riley has also been a stellar big sister as we knew she would, helping us out and playing with her new mei mei a lot. Riley is back to her busy schedule of piano, chess, tap, gymnastics and soccer plus first grade, of course. I wish I were kidding but she truly enjoys every single thing so Hannah and I spend a lot of time in the car. We've also snuck in some apple and pumpkin picking on the weekends and we're already getting excited for the big Cold Spring Halloween parade. I'm loving my dance classes this year - I have a great bunch of kids! Rob is back to working on 3 shows at once - so business as usual for him. He goes to L.A. soon for 3 days and I'm gearing up for handling my 2 girls solo. It's a whole new ball game as Rob and I are rapidly finding out. Life is very crazy but wonderful and we will post lots of pix from Hannah's Baptism and Welcome Home party next week!! Hope everyone's enjoying my favorite season of the year.
