Goodbye 2009!

2009 was certainly a great year! Lots happened but the best thing by far was the birth of our second son Evan. We hope you all have had a wonderful 2009 and that you were all blessed with great things within the past year. We also hope that your 2010 is even better than 2009! We are going to make the next year even better than last year for sure!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!! Be safe and have fun welcoming 2010!!!

Almost There!

Evan is so close to sitting all by himself! It will not be long now and he will have that skill mastered! I think right now all he is doing in concentrating on crawling that the entire sitting thing is taking the back burner. He will get there in his own time. One skill at a time!!! It is so odd to see him crawl before he can sit independently. Hunter sat alone at 6 months and did not crawl until 8 1/2 months. Not our little E-Man! He is just shy of 7 months and has crawling just about down and is close to sitting too. This just proves that kids are different and will do things their own way!

The Henry Ford

We recently took Hunter to the Henry Ford Museum for a special day with just us while MeeMaw watched Evan. Hunter really seemed to enjoy having us all to himself. We liked it a lot too. It allowed us to focus on just him for a change and his love of trains, cars and planes. He was in heaven with all the real cars around him! His eyes about bugged out of his head when he saw the actual big trains! He was so excited he was pulling me by my hand in order to get there faster! He was thrilled that he got to go and sit on the train too! It was a great day with some great memories to hold on to forever! He was such a good boy with zero meltdowns. This just added to the relaxed mood we were all in. Hunter took turns riding on Daddy's shoulders and sitting in Mommy's arms throughout our 2 hour visit. He kept asking all sorts of questions and waited to hear our answers. He was so interested in everything around him! I cannot wait to take him to the village at Henry Ford later in the year once it warms up. I think he will really enjoy that a lot too!

Give Me Wine!!!

Our little Evan loves things that are cold. This is a result of teething at least I think it is. Well, one evening at Nana's house Evan was chilling on her lap while Hunter was going nuts over decorating his cookies and he spotted Nana's wine glass. That was all it took! His lips made contact and he was a happy little camper! Pretty cute if you ask me!

Sugar Cookies

Hunter was introduced to decorating sugar cookies by his Nana Kay and he is a little cookie decorating addict now!!! He can't get enough icing and sprinkles and is constantly asking to make cookies! If he keeps it up he is going to turn into a sugar cookie and my kitchen will be covered in sprinkles forever! While he was decorating his cookies we made sure that each boy was wearing their special Christmas shirts from their Aunt Erin and Uncle Marius. They looked super cute!

Goodbye Toddler Bed!

Hunter recently moved into a new bed and loves it! He is no longer in a toddler bed but is now in a regular twin bed and is so much happier!!! He looks so tiny in such a big bed! He sleeps great and loves to get in and out of his bed all on his own. Such a big boy now!

Thanks Uncle Adam!!!
