Welcome to the 21st Century

The Reierson's finally have internet at home again. After a few months without we decided the simpler life is just not for us. One of the biggest benefactors of this will be our blog so stay tuned for more frequent updates in the future.

Summer Fun

Hannah has been having a great time hanging out with her grandmas and aunt while Mom goes back to work during the week. She has finally forgiven Mom for taking her to the doctor for her two-month-old shots.

Grandma Brenda and Aunt Amanda were able get some good smile shots while Alexis was busy with her own photo shoot with Heather and Tim.

Didn't get to go to the beach, but we tried on the bikini for fun!

Hannah is beginning to master Tummy Time! She holds herself up very well, looks around, and tells us stories about the things she can see around her!

Daddy says it's time to start learning how to drive!

A new thing for her: TOYS! Watch as she discovers how much she loves her bouncer. (Please note: she has never taken ANY interest in even looking at the toys on this bouncer before, much less coo-ed or talked to it!)

Another fun adventure for the Reierson family was at the State Fair. Hannah got to hang out with Grandpa Mick all day (some at work, and some at home!), while Steph and Mike took in some classic fun at the fair with friends Dave and Jodi. After all was said and done, the full day's (10:30 am-9:30pm) list of food consumed by the four of us was tallied (in no particular order):

1. Sweet Martha's Cookies and Milk


2. Beer


3. Cheese Curds


4. Garlic Fries


5. French Fries


6. Jalapeno Poppers


7. Ice Cream Sandwich


8. Pickle on a Stick


9. Pizza


10. Caramel Apples


11. Pronto Pup


12. Cheese on a Stick


13. Dublin Dawg (corn beef and cabbage on a stick)


14. Deep Fried Reese's Peanut Butter Cup


15. Gyro


16. Corn on the Cob


17. Calzone on a Stick


18. Mini-Donuts


19. Crepe


20. Smores


21. Quesadilla

We also enjoyed checking out the animal barns, the vendor booths, the International Bazaar (see picture of Mike below!) and the Midway (yes, we even rode some of the rides!).

As Jodi said, "Well done, team!"

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry...

I know we haven't been too good about blogging lately but we promise to get a great update up soon.

6 Weeks Old

Our little girl is already 6 weeks old! She has been growing like crazy lately.

Hannah is just starting to give us some beautiful smiles! She loves smiling and saying "A-goo" after getting her diaper changed. It's hard to catch those smiles with the camera, but here's our best effort!


Mom and Hannah had their first trip to the park. Hannah loved feeling the breeze on her face and kicking around on her blanket.

Hannah and Alexis travel in style in Grandma Brenda's van.

Hannah has had some fun visitors come see her lately. Ryan, Annie, Bella and Nolan LaMere came over to play one night, and Rodney and Tim came over to hang out the next night!

One Month Old

Hannah had her one month birthday yesterday. She celebrated by hanging out at Grandma Brenda and Grandpa Bill's house in Pine Island, and visiting with Grandpa Mick at his work. After her 3-week growth spurt, she is officially beginning to grow out of some of her clothes. Mom and Dad are scrambling to have her wear some of our favorites one last time!

Mom is pretty positive Hannah had her very first REAL smile on her birthday. We were getting changed to go to grandma's house, and talking about how exciting the trip would be. We got so excited that her little face lit up and poof! Out popped a real-live smile! Very sweet.

Above are some of our favorite photos from her recent photo shoot with Heather and Tim. For info on Heather and Tim's photography, email heather.newcomb@gmail.com.

Hannah had her first photo shoot this week, with cousins Heather and Tim Newcomb. We'll share more of these photos as soon as we get them!
Uncle WiL came up to meet her after picking up Grandma from the airport.
More Alexis and Hannah shots. The two girls are having fun getting used to each other (and getting used to sharing the spotlight with each other!).
Hannah went to the VA Home to meet Great-Grandpa Orv last Saturday. She was quite the attraction as the residents filed out of the BINGO parlor!
Hannah loves to take naps with all of her favorite people. See more nap pictures below.

Hannah is 3 weeks old today! She's finally starting to chunk up a little bit. The doctors feel confident that she's kicked the jaundice, and doesn't need to have the lights on her any more. Mom and Hannah have been enjoying their days together: sleeping, eating, and changing diapers. Dad is back at work again, and likes to rush home to hang with his girls at night. Hannah is still getting to know her grandmas and grandpas as much as possible.
