Wondering where we've been? Well, in the last month we've been busy being a family. It's remarkable to me when I think how much has happened in the last month. Of course, there's been the awesome fun that we love to have, but we've worked hard to get important things accomplished too.
In addition to truly rockin' the slip 'n slide, The HAWK was a narrator in his school play, "Charlotte's Web" where he got tons of laughs.
Jack braved the slip 'n slide, not wanting to miss a single thing his big brother does. He also flew the friendly skies back to Beantown for a visit with his surgery team. The team along with a speech pathologist concluded that all surgeries are on hold until he makes significant progress with his speech. Since then, he's started speech therapy through the county system (so-so results). We also started with a private speech therapist who specializes in cleft affected speech. She has been awesome (and so has Jack).
We appreciate having the beach so close, especially when the boys get an immeasurable amount of sand in their hair and baggies. Hunter's hair continues to grow. A friend's mother recently called him a "hair farmer" and in many respects he is. He's decided to grow his hair to donate to Locks of Love. I'm still amazed by the scope and depth of his generosity and understanding.
Jack has more energy than anyone else in our family. He is in a constant state of motion, expect this afternoon...we have to keep him pinned down. He's recovering from a major dental procedure today which included 12 fillings, a crown and an extraction of an abscessed tooth. His teeth were in rough shape to begin with and have only gotten worse in the last year. The dentist says they got a bad start in China, but that we can get them back on track.
Hunter loves to head to the park or be outside as much as possible. Every trip to the park includes a custom HAWK invented game. He's a creative guy. Last week we went to his school for a presentation of a book he wrote and published in one of his classes. The book was the story of Snowy (a snow Moleopard - combo of a mole and a leopard). He dedicated the book to his family and his cub scout leader (again...what a kid).
Biker boys! We've been biking a great deal in preparation for our summer trip to the mountains. I promise to post again before then. :)
