The Family


This is the most recent picture of the family. The bottom left is Cole which makes the bottom right Hunter. Jeremy and I are obviously in the back. This picture was taken this past summer so it is only a couple of months old. Hunter is 3 1/2 and Cole is 1 1/2 in this picture. They are both doing great and growing like weeds.

Hunter started preschool in August which he loves every minute of it. He goes two days a week on Tuesday and Thursday. I love it because they are teaching him the importance of clean-up and using his quiet voice. Of course, if you ask him he doesn't have a quiet voice. He says he needs to be loud like a rock star (not sure where he got that). This also gives Cole one on one Mommy time which we both enjoy very much.

Cole is still a chunk but he has slimed down a tad. He is going through separation anxiety and can have some bad fits. He is getting better but he is definitely a Mommy and Daddy's boy. We are also starting the whole potty training thing. He has gone poop poop once but now when you ask him about it he says it's a bad potty. That should make things interesting.

Jeremy is still at Weyerhaeuser (the paper mill), which is where he has been since June of 2004. He recently got a promotion and is continually training on higher level jobs. He enjoys his job now, the only down side is still the swing shift. I can never get use to that crazy schedule.

I am enjoying being a stay at home mom. I have been home since May and I am loving every minute of it. It was a lot harder at first to get use to being at home but now I tell Jeremy I wouldn't go back for anything. I have also become somewhat savvy in the kitchen which is a huge step for me. I don't know everything by any means but I can manage to make a decent meal.
