I Am Thankful For Hunter

Hunter, my first born.  He is a super boy and the best big brother ever.  It can be difficult to take his picture though.  He is so good at keeping a straight face, that whenever I catch him in a smile, I feel a personal victory.  Hunter would love to go to Space Camp this summer, and still thinks that engineering for NASA would be the best job in the world. Hunter has a head for numbers and is so fast at doing problems in his head that he leaves me in the dust. He is now working towards being in the school honors orchestra.  They audition soon and the best players will get to play at Disneyland or California Adventure.  Our district honors orchestra is the only elementary band that has been invited to play there, so it’s a huge accomplishment.

Today I went to Hunter’s class and graded papers for a while.  I loved being able to listen in on how the classroom runs and since I sat quietly doing my own thing in the back, it was win-win: I got to be in class, and he wasn’t embarrassed by my me being there (I think). I love you Hunter Bear!

This may be the last picture we took of Hunter’s bike.  It was stolen from the school a while back and he found a used one on craigslist.com to replace it.

Hunter likes to make things for the girls on their birthday.  This is a chair for Emma’s American girl doll.

Hunter in character as an orphan boy at Lights on Broadway (He’s also ticked because he was the “only one” that didn’t have a Nintendo DS to play backstage. Mean Mom 🙁 )

This is Hunter’s favorite place to be – On the computer with a reflection of the monitor in his glasses.
