Hunter's First Day of Preschool

Hunter couldn't be more excited to start preschool. He is wearing his favorite shirt, shorts, shoes & backpack! When I dropped him off at the door he didn't even look back. I had to beg for a kiss goodbye.

Hunter looking so big!

backyard

I have had lots of people ask me how our backyard is coming along. So I thought I would post a few pictures. Having a 1/2 acre is a lot of fun, but also a little overwhelming at the same time. We are making progress though. I was about to say that Bruce finished our retaining walls, but then I realized that they are not finished because we are planning on putting rock work on the front of them. But they are at least up and we can start planting more trees and our garden. I'm not quite sure what our next big project is but I'm excited that we are making progress.

Eventually there will be stairs that go between the block walls.

Grace can't get enough of Steven. Everyday she holds him, kisses him, hugs, him, etc. Babies are so much fun!

I don't know what is is about a sleeping baby but they are just so sweet!

Family Update

So, I took Steven to the doctor's yesterday. He is now about 2 1/2 months old and weighed in at 13.49 pounds! I could tell he was gaining weight, but wow. He went from 6% in weight for his age to 76%. I'm happy that he is growing and is so healthy. He is already moving out of most his 0 to 3 size clothes.

Hunter starts preschool next week and can't wait. He was bumped up to the "older, smarter" class, so I'm very happy about that too. He is starting to read and wants to read everything.

Grace is still our cutest little princess. She wishes she was in preschool so I'm going to have to do something with her while Hunter is gone. She is so outgoing and loves people so much that she always wants to go play at everyone's homes but ours.

I can't seem to get enough sleep. Between getting up with Steven, trying to read Twilight, trying to keep up with the housework & fit in my daily exercise, I just don't seem to find time to sleep. But...who needs sleep anyway?!

Bruce is biking to work three times a week. He is still working on our backyard and is still busy with his Search & Rescue.

Overall we are all doing really well. We are happy and healthy.

Happy 16 Years!!

Time sure flies when your having fun. :-)
It's hard to believe that it has been 16 years since I got married. But it's also hard to remember what life was like before Bruce. I knew back when I was only 19 that Bruce was the best choice for me...I think I was pretty smart for a19 year old!
Thanks for the many great years Bruce.
I LOVE YOU!

Here are a few pictures from the past...in no particular order.
