I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM

ANOTHER SIGN

Time to learn another sign... Ready???
With both hands palms facing away from you hold your hands up about face level.
This is the sign for Great!
This is also how we are feeling.

Hunter and Mommy are over the flu and Daddy has about a day left. But we all feel GREAT!
Pictures are going to be up this weekend!

A new sign

We are going to teach you a sign that reflects our lives this week!
First extend your fingers
then bend your middle finger
NOW touch your middle finger to your tummy or head.
This is the sign for sick. That's what we all are. Hunter came down with the flu and was nice enough to share with Mommy and Daddy! Such a good boy he shares EVERYTHING. The good news is the Doc said it's type A flu that just makes you feel rotten with a fever. Tuesday night Hunter had a 102.5 fever. Bad news is despite a flu shot for everyone here we all still got it : (
Until next time its a round of Tylenol for us !

More to See

We went to Johnny's for the train show fun as always and Hunter helped Mommy with cupcakes. He also had a lot of fun with Mommy, Daddy, Nana, Pops and Aunt Adelie at Todder Otterville. Aunt Georgia was there but, she was working and couldn't spend a lot of time with us :( ...

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.
