Going for the Gold

My company is participating in Ventura's Corporate Games again this year. We compete against other local businesses in events like darts, lazertag, badminton, billiards, mini golf, bowling and horseshoes. This weekend was horseshoes and my partner Julie and I took gold in the women's division! I have discovered my hidden talent as a horseshoe thrower. My mom is kicking herself for not looking up scholarships for it when I went to college. I'm guessing I would have gone out of state for that one.

Friends





Hannah has been spending some time with her friend Ali. So far their personalities seem like polar opposites. Hannah is always moving and wants to see and touch everything while Ali is very mellow and perfectly happy just sitting still and taking things in. It will be interesting to see the two of them grow up and how they interact with each other. Right now they just stare.
And Hannah is showing off how well she can sit up on her own now.

Hannah Attacks Nona

Hannah's Laugh

To us, this is just the cutest thing ever. She can make a bad day good with her laugh.

The Social One of the Family


The other night we had some friends over for dinner and cards, and Hannah was determined to be part of the fun. She refused to go to bed, so we sat her at the table with us and this is what she looked like by the end of the night. Her eyes were turning red, her head was bobbing, and she was very quiet (very uncharacteristic for Hannah). But she slept great the rest of the night!

Hannah's first trip to Tahoe



We went to Lake Tahoe in the end of March with some family. It is a whole different experience driving 500 miles with a baby. Hannah wanted nothing to do with her car seat by the time we arrived. Chris' parents came along so we were able to get some skiing/snowboarding in at Kirkwood and Heavenly while they got some quality time with Hannah. Unfortunately it was too warm to put Hannah in her snow suit, so instead I've posted a picture of when she tried it on at home before our trip. Here she is with her cousin Jenna, only 5 weeks old.

Welcome to our blog!


The Vanoli's have finally joined the world of blogging. Since I am new at this it will probably take some time to get things figured out. We hope to keep our friends and family up to date on our lives, or at least on Hannah's. She's the popular one in the family! Stay tuned for more...
