Hattie is officially ONE!

It is so hard to believe that it was a little over a year ago that we welcomed our little Hattie into this world. We could have never imagined at that time how much of a joy that she would be in our lives. We are so grateful that God blessed us with such an amazing little girl.








Fall is a time to celebrate the harvest and we do celebrate our little pumpkin. As a matter of fact she likes to celebrate, too.











Hattie's first hayride











Hattie and some of here friends enjoying a little recreation while swimming,



Swinging, and

Driving!









(Well, maybe not)



Because you know that a girl's gotta be able to get around like when going to the mall and














Dancing


But she has to make sure that she has enough energy to get back home and prepare dinner for the family.


















Then she can finally relax!!!











Hattie seemed to have a celebration of her birthday every time she turned around:







At one of our favorite Italian restaurants, Maggiano's.
















When Pop-pop and Jo-jo came to visit.




























When Gran-gee came



And when all of her friends came for her birthday party.





She liked getting presents so much that she decided that she wanted to see what it was like.
















And what a gift she is !!!!

















Hattie enjoyed watching the trick-or-treaters

















And Gran-gee kept her safe from any weirdos that were out.


















And it's a good thing that she knows a doctor in case something ever happens. (Dr. Ty)












Our Thanksgiving was spent with some friends and it proved to be a special time.




And now Hattie hears that there is something coming called Christmas.

NY Trip



A sad departure as Hattie (and the rest of us) say goodbye to Uncle George and Aunt Go for another year. They're headed back to Korea.
