Christmas
We had a great Christmas this year...except for Joe was on home-call, which turned into pages interrupting any family dinner and present opening. We made it through and had a great New Years weekend when he was not on call, which was nice. Hannah got spoiled by her grandparents, aunt and uncles (and us maybe a little too). She had a great time and here are some pictures from the holidays.

Hanny Girl
This post is all about our Hanny girl.
She is 2 1/2 years old and there are some really fun things that she is into right now that I know I will forget if I don't write them down.
Favorite Outfits: Jammies...every day when she comes home from being at daycare or wherever, she immediately changes into her favorite outfit: a pink Elmo shirt, bright pink cotton pants and her purple sweatshirt. She usually completes the ensemble with her pink kitty slippers.
Favorite Foods: Hannah likes to eat 'wacanoni' which is rotelle or wheel pasta with butter and parmesan cheese. She loves pears, apples, and clementines as well. Not so good at the veggies, but corn is one that she will eat for us.
Favorite activities: Watching Dora (and putting on her tutu) and Tangled, playing with her babies, especially giving them their 'flu shots.' They have each gotten a dozen at least! She also loves to color and paint. She also is very loud and loves to sing at the top of her lungs. Hannah is also very loving and gives many hugs and kisses, which of course makes our day. I would also have to say that one of her favorite activities seems to be stalling...not good for trying to get to daycare and work in the mornings...
Favorite songs: ABCs, the wheels on the bus, itsy bitsy spider, ring around the hosie (also known as posie...)
Bedtime routine: Always includes bath time with splashing mommy. We get our jammies on, eat our vitamins, brush teeth. Then we read a book, was Llama llama misses momma for a while but just recently it has changed to Olivia. She is cute about reading along or reading to us on occasion.
Hannah just recently decided she didn't like pull-ups and diapers and has started using the potty consistently, we have had a couple accidents, but overall she is doing very well. We are very proud of our little girl and know she will be an excellent big sister soon!

Baby Girl Zabell #2
We are so excited to announce that we are expecting another baby girl on March 30th. I am 20 weeks along and so we just had the ultrasound on 11/11/11. Our little girl was fairly mellow but we had many waves and stretches throughout the sonogram. Joe was in between surgeries so he was able to sneak away just in time to see the bladder and kidneys (his organs of interest of course) and to find out that we're having another girl! Hannah is very excited to be a big sister although she was thinking it was a boy, I think she's pretty excited and starting to understand that it's actually a baby sister ready to come out and play princess tea party with her. Here are a couple shots that we captured of our peanut.

Happy Halloween! and pumpkin carving
Hannah got to choose between a princess and a doctor (because those are the costumes we had) for Halloween and she chose to be a princess! I put her hair up and she wore her crown for a couple minutes. We pulled her in her wagon like a true princess. Hannah had a blast and kept saying, "I wanna go another house." She did a good job of saying, trick or treatin' and Happy Halloween to each house we stopped at. It was very special for her to go trick or treating with her daddy as this was the first year he has actually seen her on Halloween. We had a blast and even went to Joe's old neighborhood to trick or treat for a while with Grandma and Grandpa Zabell. We ended the night stopping by to see the Clapper grandparents and then she was wiped!

Apple Orchard
So we happen to love the apple orchard...besides the fact that they didn't have our favorite apple donuts yesterday, but that's ok. We have been there twice so far this year and Hannah absolutely loves the tractor rides! She is so my girl. She was super brave and went on a pony ride this last time. Although she wanted to get off right away she stayed on and talked about the pony ride the rest of the night! Here are some pictures from our adventures.

Disney World
I must not be a very good blogger...I'm not very good at keeping this thing updated, but we have been busy. We went on a trip May 5-9 to Disney World. Our good friends Yvette and Loren got married at the wedding pavilion at Disney and we had a blast! Hannah loved the rides (except for Snow White's Scary Adventure, there was a reason for the 5 minute wait). Her favorite ride was Dumbo and she learned all about waiting her turn. She kept saying, "Hanny's turn!" We had fun at our resort as well playing in the sand-bottomed pool at the Beach Club. Here are some pics from our adventures:
