I'm in love...

I'd like to quit my job and take care of all the babies with no Mommy. Want to help?

Laughing Baby

We have wonderful news!!!! Last Sunday night, Hunter laughed for the first time!!! Since then, we've been doing everything we can to get him to laugh, hoping to catch it on film. Today, when we got home from work, we were finally able to do just that:

Rest and Relaxation

For those of you who have been to our house, you know we've got a huge deck that overhangs the downward slope of our backyard. But, until recently, it was just a deck. Yep, we had a beautiful, but sadly empty, deck. Jamie's grill was all alone out there! But a couple of weeks ago, my brother came to our rescue!

Check out the awesome outdoor furniture he built for us:

The smile of a job well done!

Hunter loves being outside, so I know he'll appreciate the new additions!

We also bought a hammock, too! A hammock that so conveniently spilled me out onto the deck floor as the neighbors gazed on. Lucky me. I had an audience for my most recent most embarrassing moment! And, of course it was a total wipe-out, complete with a little girlie squeal and a loud thud as my bottom landed on the metal hammock frame, followed by the whoooosh of the hammock fabric swinging above me from the momentum of my fall. I guess if you have to embarrass yourself, you might as well do it well. So, I laid there flat on my back staring up at the bottom side of the hammock, laughing so hard I could barely get up. As Caitlen would say, GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!!

Here are a few pics of Hunter with his favorite Uncle :)


This is how Hunter watches TV.
Here, he was totally amazed by the antics on Deadliest Catch.
I'm sure he was thinking, "Whoa, those crabs are HUGE!!!!"

Thank you, Cameron!! We love you!!

Back to Work

Apologies for the lack of posts recently. I've gone back to work full time and it just seems like there aren't enough hours in the day! But, here's a quick update:

- Daycare is going well. Hunter is adjusting just fine, Mommy on the other hand, not so well.
- Work is tough. Makes me wonder if I'm doing the right thing...
- Hunter is growing like a weed. Smiling all the time!
- I've gotten to see my sister and my brother in the past two weeks. I'm on cloud nine!

Here are some pictures my dad took during our last visit. Enjoy!
