Missing my little monkeys...

{Missing these kids, and their mommy, like crazy!}

Counting down the days until they come home for Christmas!

On a positive note, I finally got my web-camera set-up so I can skype with the kids! I can't wait to see their adorable faces on Friday afternoon.

Love you Monkeys!!

Priceless...

Friday night, we went over to the Harrelson's house for dinner. We were excited to hang out with them and spend some time with little Hunter. He has grown so much in the past few months and has become so mobile! Andrew hadn't seen Hunter in a while so when we first walked in the door, he was surprised to see how much he had grown!

When Hunter was first born, he was so tiny and fragile that Andrew wasn't too sure he wanted to hold him (I think he had the same fear as most guys do with newborn babies). In the months that followed, he still wasn't too "hands-on" with the little guy. I would always say "Here Andrew...why don't you hold Hunter for a little while?" and Andrew would say "It's ok...You got him". To give him credit - Andrew has always been really good with kids, especially when it comes to his niece and nephew. But when it comes to the baby department...it seemed he needed a little work.

So fast forward back to Friday night...

I wanted to show Jana my new car. Since Bryan wasn't home yet, we couldn't leave Hunter with him while we took the car for a spin and we didn't want to go through all the trouble of putting his car seat in my car. So Andrew said (ever so confidently) "I'll watch him...you girls go ahead." So before he changed his mind, Jana and I scurried out the door to take the car around the block. I must admit, I kind of expected to walk back into the house to see Hunter crying hysterically and Andrew looking at us like "Ummmm...please take him back!" However, we walked in the house to see Hunter laughing and smiling as he climbed all over Andrew. Of course, I had to pull out my camera and get a picture of this priceless moment...

After having a yummy dinner, we sat outside in the backyard and talked over dessert (because we have no self control no dinner is complete without it). It was nice to spend some quality time with some of our favorite people!

J, B & little h - Thanks for having us over for dinner! And for letting Andrew prove to me that he is perfectly fine in the baby department - it just took a little time for him to get there.
