Family Slide Show



My Grandpa R asked to see more pictures of my amazing family, so I put this little flick together with some of the pictues I have from our time together as a family. It's been a lot of fun with some good adventures and a couple of tough spots, but we're a family and being a family is what we're all about.

Faces of Hunter



As I approach the age of two (only a couple short months away), I find I have much more to think about. Not thinking enough about a certain subject seems to bring on fits of rage which I unleash on my Big People, who then counter my rage with a knowing look.

I'm still not talking, don't know why everyone's making such a big fuss about it. Look at me, I love life!!

And, Yes, that is my house in our living room.

Getting Caught.

So, as I approach that point in my life when fits of rage and moments of mischievousness abound, I once again found myself caught in the act by my parents. They actually caught me much earlier on in my destruction of the wipes' box; however, they seemed to think my antics were quite amusing.

Not only did they take the time to capture me in photograph at the scene of the crime, but there was also video of this vandalism in progress. The video, I'm sure, will find its way onto this web of information and my image will be ruined until I do something undeniably adorable, a feat I am very capable of, despite my current, virtually unstoppable urge to get myself into trouble.
Not much is said (mainly because I still refuse to speak), and there's not really any point of formal discipline (because I still tune most things out, not to mention I'm so dang cute), so Ma and Pa are left with the alternative, record my behavior and blackmail me with it at a later date and time.
Chao for Now.

Things I Didn't Know About My Mom

So, I know it's been a little bit, September was an unusual month with not a whole lot going on outside of the home. I've developed some new fun quirks, but this entry is not about me, it's about my most wonderful Mom. When my Aunt April sent my Mom this little survey, she gave it some thought and thought it would be good for me to get to know her ten years ago. She's very thoughtful. I love her. With my reading skills not quite as developed as my ability to throw things, I had to get some help with the list, but I've found there's more to my Mom than meets the eye, as my Dad would say.
