Happy Halloween!

This year we had to go trick or treating without daddy again. I guess we have to just get used to the fact that holidays may be without daddy for the next 5 years during his residency. We enjoyed ourselves and did have some time with daddy before he had to work at 3 which was great. Hannah was a monkey (well really she is a monkey with the way she climbs and eats bananas, which is how I decided what she should dress up as). We carved a pumpkin, ate jack-o-lantern pizza and went to half a dozen houses for trick or treating. It was lots of fun and here are a few pics from our day!

So Hannah is a little into Shoes, or 'Oosh'as she calls them lately. It is pretty cute and she has a pair of pink crocs that she has bathed with and slept with them on. It is pretty cute and she always puts them on the wrong feet, so adorable and predictable.


I know I have been really bad at updating this, but here are some pics from the last month or so.

The Minnesota Zoo

Well we have been pretty busy lately with Joe's first rotation of residency being on Trauma at Regions Hospital, but he is now on Interventional Radiology which so far is a piece of cake. Since we haven't seen daddy much in the past 5 weeks, we decided to do something fun and go to the zoo today. We had a blast and it was fun to watch Hannah with the animals. She met her dog-cousin, Brew, over fourth of July weekend and since then has called all dogs, "Brew." Well we found out today that it pertains to all furry animals as well. We would say, "Moose," she would say, "Brew." It worked for cow, monkey, leopard, pretty much everything. So cute!

Here are some pictures from our adventures:

So we have talked about getting some professional photos of Hannah, but we still haven't so I tried to take some fun ones on my own.

Happy 1st Birthday Hannah!

Well this is very delayed, but here are some pictures from Hannah's first Birthday.

We had a great party with close friends and family. Hannah got many wonderful gifts and enjoyed her first taste of cake.

Three Samurai

Here are pictures from our delicious dinner at Three Samurai.

Dr. Joseph Zabell, MD

We are so proud of Dr. Daddy! Joe graduated this past weekend and we had lots of family here to celebrate. After packing all day Saturday we went out to dinner to celebrate since the ceremony was so late on Friday night. We even had Bryan and Jessie come for dinner at Three Samurai. It was great to see so much family and enjoy Joe's great accomplishment. Here are the pics:
