Fun Pics from Cincinnati walks for KIDS

We did the 3rd annual Cincinnati walks for Kids for the 3rd time!

This walk is to benefit Cincinnati Children's Hospital. The best thing is that we get to choose what department gets the money we raise !! This walk is more for Mommy but, the real good news is that we ALL Mommy included made the entire walk! We always have a lot of fun and Hunter ended this walk just like he did last year... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz. This is Hunter's 2nd time (he wasn't born yet for the 1st time) and let me tell you he is just like his Daddy. Snores LOUD! The money we raised will go to CCHMC cardiac unit. Look for more information on how you can sponsor or become part of our team around March or April. We want to make 2009 the best year for us yet !!!

Halloween GOOOOOO

Halloween was a blast! We went to Nana & Pops to go trick or treating and it was fun. Hunter VERY quickly got the concept down and when we went to a house he would say me me me... then sign thank you and turn and scream gooooooooo.

Yep Hunter has glasses. He is very far sighted. He is doing

pretty well with them. That's a good thing. He knows he can see better but, the concept escapes him at the moment.

Busy Weekend and HUNGRY

Well I brought my work truck to Nana and Pops this weekend to get it cleaned up and it was a smash hit with the neighborhood kids. Hunter had a bunch of fun playing in my bed and on the top bunk. He also played with the radio some and Aunts Camile and Adelie had a ton of fun. But, after it was all over Hunter was a little hungry and didn't want to wait for Mommy to get some grub so he just helped himself !

Have a great week,

P,M,&H Winters

Daddy Can I drive PLEASE??Aunt Adelie along for the rideI'll make dinner

Tater salad, some butter and MILK

FINALLY HUNTER HAS BECOME OURS FOREVER !!!!

Today is a huge day for Michelle and I. After years of heartbreak and hope and the last 13 months of pure bliss. Today ended the adoption process. With a hearing to recap events and a short question and answer session, Hunter smacked the gavel on his own fate and sealed his life as our son.



We shared today with Nana, Pops and the clan along with our friend Laura.



Dispite the limited gallery I walked into court with my son in my arm and thoughts racing through my mind. I was thinking about all the people that in some way shape or form has lent a hand or word of advice. I thought about everything that happened to bring us to this point in our lives.



I looked at Hunter he was all smiles along with everyone else. We sat at council tables and before I knew it we were done. The long, rough, road that started nearly 8 years ago has ended. We have a child. We have a sweet wonderful boy that has grown so much before our eyes in just his first 13 months.



Mr Hunter Thomas Winters is living proof that dreams come true and prayers do get answered.

Hunter with short hair

Here he is !! Hunter did very good getting his hair cut. Pops said he looks like a little Pete (poor kid) LOL. Anyway the good news is that where his bald spot was on the back of his head from the helmet is less pronounced. I used a 1/2 guard on the clippers with the blade recessed 1/4 inch for a 3/4 inch cut. hopefully he won't sweet so much now. Now for all that was wondering Yes Michelle cried but, she knows it will grow back.
Enjoy the week,
P,M,& H Winters

Sunday fun

WELL, Well, well, Today was a big day! we had family pictures done with Nana, Pops and crew. THEN when we got home..... well just check out the pictures : )

I wonder what he looks like now. Yes it says Hunters First Haircut.

It's a PARTY

Mommy & Daddy got Hunter this cool train. Hunter loves it.


So Big!

I can stand. I did it!


Well Hunters party was very fun ! As you can see most of the day (like all of them) are all smiles.
He is learning a lot like playing so big with Mommy and Daddy is working hard with me to stand all by my self. Please enjoy the rest of my pictures from turning a big 1 year old.
Enjoy,
P,M,&H Winters
