Pumpkin Huntin'

We took Hannah to the pumpkin patch to choose her first Pumpkin. She had a good time. We probably had a better time watching her. She is of course adorable. Remember she is the same size as a large pumpkin. She is a little lighter.

As a side bar, I did last longer then Tiff with the Velociraptor but not as long as Kerry. It is all the the rage at my office!

This is funny!

I could survive for 51 seconds chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor

Thank you KERRY for the entertainment.

Tiff needs a cause

These past two months all of my spare time has been focused on piano lessons. I've recently began teaching lessons again,and I currently have 11 students. Between buying method books, reseraching adult method books, passing out flyers and figuring a schedule for my students, piano has kept me pretty busy. Now that October has begun it has been a month since the majority of my students started and I am completely organized. I no longer have to make trips to the music store, research methods or do anything else. Ahh... a great big sigh of relief.... I have accomplished much....

With this accomplishment, comes a new sense of freedom and once again more time on my hands. Time for me is both a welcome friend and an enemy. A welcome friend, because it's nice to relax and not be so busy, but an enemy because without tasks to keep me occupied, boredom and genearl dissatisfaction sets in.

Today I had a productive day, I did the laundry, cleaned the kitchen, cooked dinner, went for a walk, did a chapter in my finance class, practiced the piano, played with the baby and organized photos. All in all, a busy, productive day. Yet admist all these activities a restlesness grew in me that I could not shake. It quickly came to an anxious feeling that I have been carrying around in my stomach all day.

Why was I feeling so anxious? The thought finally occured to me, because I need something to do! True, I can stay busy, but it means nothing when filled with meaningless tasks. It isn't enough just to keep busy, I need to do something of value, I need to provide some type of meaningful service for someone else. And then it hit me, I need a cause! I need to find a cause that I can put my energy and efforts towards when I have free time.

I've looked on line for volunteer opportunities within my community, and the only one I was able to find was to help with a Bingo event once a month. So I now put this question to you, what is my cause? What is it that I can do that will make a positive impact on the community, organization, youth etc.? I am open to all suggestions and I would love for any input as I am trying to brainstorm what my "cause" can be.

The Great Northwest Georgia State Fair (Objects may seem smaller up close)

So here are some photos of Hannah's first forray at the fair. Let's just say that it is not the Big Fresno Fair. She enojoyed her time, as did we. Her least favorite thing: Baby chickens. Their quick moveemnts and looks of hunger and carnage scared her horribly. Her favorite thing: Balloons against daddy's head. Nothing better. Our biggest objection to the fair...NO PIGS! An outrage and I will be writing my State Represenative about this, don't you worry. Without further ado here is what you all really want, cute pictures.

Scrubs or the Office?

It's Thursday night, I just got home from Enrichment and I have had a very long and busy busy day! Between piano lessons, cleaning the house, running errands, a fussy baby and just a jam packed shcedule I am ready for some R&R. So I turn on the TV with my dinner in hand (yeah I know, dinner at 9 PM, not so good, but considering my breakfast/lunch wasn't until 3 PM I guess it's not that bad) and what is on TV? BOTH SCRUBS AND THE OFFICE! AHHHH! My worst nightmare. My two favortie TV shows on at the EXACT sime time. I tried to flip between the two, but they happen to have commercial breaks at the exact same time. So what do you do? Which show do you watch? Or do you just watch something else entirely different or none at all because you can't pick favorites?

Hurricane Hannah

FLASH POST ***FLASH POST***FLASH POST***

The Ipsen's and the subsidiaries have nothing to do with Hurricane Hannah. No damage that may occur because of this hurricane is related to our sweet little daughter. We have always thought of her as a Tropical Storm really. Please stay posted...

The Dark Side

I have been tutoring Hannah in the ways of the Force. I thought she was doing really well with levitating her rattle. She has even learned how to use her Force powers to convinve her Mom she isn't ready for a nap. Her greatest power is her ability to sit up all by herself. She has been clocked at 1:32. Pretty good huh? Olympian? Maybe. But...I am afraid she may have fallen to the dark side. She started wearing this hat around the house the other day.

Here is a game for you, name our little Dark Jedi. You post your name for Hannah and we'll announce the winner next week!
