Day 4: Capturing December- Joyous!

Day 4

It kind of looks like this when dad is tickling you!  Not only is Hunter full of joy but so am I! :)

Another night for the Tooth Fairy!

So guess who lost his first tooth????  Yay!  Hunter did!  Reagan has lost 16 teeth so this is a pretty big deal with Hunter.  For months he kept trying to make his teeth "wiggly" just so he could say he was "almost going to loose a tooth."  The one next to it is pretty loose as well so I would imagine she'll be making another night trip within a week or two.

 

First Day of School 2012

My little ones started school this morning.  Welcome 1st and 3rd grades!!!  Hunter was pretty excited.  Not too much phases him but Reagan was a little nervous.  She had some trouble sleeping last night and had a little trouble saying good bye this morning.
I am really looking forward to getting back on schedule with the kids and my business.  It was a nice little break but I think we are all pretty excited for school to start :)

Happy Birthday Lil' Man Hunter!

Today, 6 years ago, God blessed us with Hunter.  Hunter has always had such a BIG personality, he's funny, he's goofy, he's witty and yet he still tells me "I love you Mom" out of the blue.  I can't believe how big he is getting and yet I still enjoy our snuggle time on the couch.  He has lost all his baby features now and is turning into a boy and as sad as that makes me, it's all very exciting to see what he will become.
I truly can't imagine our lives without him.  He is the last piece of the puzzle that makes our Hank family.  The last 6 years have been wonderful and I am looking forward to many many many years of watching him grow.

We love you Hunter!! We are so proud of you, Happy Birthday lil' man! :)

The first picture is Reagan holding Hunter just a few hours old. They are both so little. Sniff Sniff :(

Summer is almost over!

So school starts on Monday. We have a new 1st grader and a 3rd grader starting.  I can't believe how fast these last few weeks have gone by.   It's been a great little summer but with only 7 weeks off, you don't have much time to do some things.  So this week I have been in re-organization mode and trying to get back into the swing of a schedule again.  We have been hanging out, swimming and just trying to appreciate the last few days of  no schedules!  But Hunter had a new plan for this morning. 
Notice the big bump on his head?  Yep that is new today.  I was getting ready in the back of the house and heard a thud and then a scream.  You know those two sounds you really don't like to hear together as a mother.  I ran through the house to find out what happened. I hate that feeling as a mom.  You have no idea what you are running up to. Is something broken?   Is there blood?  When I turned the corner I found Hunter on his knees crying. I ran to pick him up and kept asking what was wrong. He told me he had slipped while playing the Wii.  And sure enough his little head had this nice attachment almost instantly. I scooped him in my arms, ( I love I can still hold him like that).  Reagan was a great big sister and grabbed an ice pack for me and we sat on the couch.  He cried it out.  I did my motherly thing and 20 minutes later we are all good again.  Except the bump, we might have to name him, I think will stay with us for a few days. 
Hunter gets to meet his teacher tonight, I am sure he will tell her all about it.  Thank goodness we are no where near school picture day. 
I never had "big alien head" issues with Reagan.  See how different boys are.  They really keep you on your toes. Just last week Hunter got bit my something on his forehead and it swelled up like an alien head.  You can still see the insect mark on his forehead in the picture,  Sometimes with boys you just have to throw your hands up.
