Laura Brett Photography

At 6 days old, we traveled to Atlanta for a newborn photo session with Laura Brett. I think she's actually a baby whisperer! Gunnar was bare naked for 2 hours with no accidents! It was amazing to watch her work!

William Gunnar Dixon

On December 28, 2010 our sweet baby boy, Gunnar, arrived a little early, but beautiful and healthy! We are so blessed! God is Good! :)

House....SOLD!

Well, as usual, I have a million excuses for my absence from the crazy world of blogging...but, the biggest one is the fact that we have sold our house.

We are very blessed to have passed it along to a wonderful little family! I sure they will make lots of wonderful memories there! For now, Matthew and I are still in limbo, but hopefully we'll be moving back to our townhouse before the baby arrives! I can't wait to show off the nursery...that is, when it is all put together! xoxo Hannah

GHS - 10 yr Reunion

First, let me apologize for being a little absent lately....this pregnancy thing can definitely leave you feeling a little crazy! Especially when you're trying to sell your house and move! But, enough excuses...here is a brief recap of our weekend at my 10 year high school reunion at my alma mater...Geneva High School!

Me circa 2001!! Please don't laugh too hard at the hair!! It really was cool! :)

The Homecoming assembly spotlight....yes, the returning 10 year class always sits on the stage! It's been a tradition since 1948!


These are pics from our class picnic at the Junction....everyone brought their kiddos and enjoyed lots of good food!




And, for those of you wondering about our awesome tshirts, they are one of my originals! I thought they turned out really good!


After the picnic, we all headed downtown for the parade!

And, only in my hometown would you see a sight like this in a parade! But they are pretty famous in Geneva, so I had to grab a pic!


Finally, we wrapped everything up at the Legion Hall party after the football game! It was a very long day, but worth it! I really enjoyed catching up with everyone and I'm already looking forward to our next reunion!

Annoucement Party

Well, a couple of weeks ago Matthew and I found out the gender of our precious Baby D! Some good friends of mine wanted to have a little casual get-together for the big reveal. So, after our appointment I went home to make cupcakes!

I decided to make both pink and blue so everyone could pick which one they thought we were having...a girl or boy. The results were interesting, but the surprise was even better!

Baby D is a boy!! We are so excited! We got a good report from the doctor and everything is on track for January 2011! I know I'm his Mama, but isn't he handsome!?!?

Thanks to all the friends that made this experience even more special!!
Now, it's time to start sewing! xoxo Hannah

While We Wait

Less than 3 weeks to go and we find out whether our "bundle of joy" will be a boy or girl. We are so excited! Matthew is about to die to know! He wants a boy so bad! I'll be happy with either-just as long as it is healthy! :) So, while we wait, I thought I'd show-off some cute things for either a boy or a girl.





The pirate applique is from Swak Embroidery and the pattern is the John-John from Martha Pullen's Favorite Appliques book. I just love it in the khaki seer sucker!





And this adorable outfit is made from the Taylor pattern by Children's Corner. It's the same pattern I used for the Tiger, Tiger II outfit. Plus this one is reversible! Who doesn't love that?

A Bun in the Oven

Matthew and I are excited to finally share the news! It's not easy keeping such a big secret! Baby Dixon is scheduled to arrive on January 13th, 2011!
