Here is Hudson who loves to be massaged.
He is called the baby boss and the baby mafia by some ;). He doesn't talk much but you know exactly what he wants by his grunts.
He's also a chocoholic!! He can hear me opening a chocolate wrapper better than Henry!!
This is Bobbie Jo kicking my butt on a walk the day she got her first round of the strongest chemo they deliver. Today she got her second round. The very good news is her cancer has not spread beyond
her lymph nodes by her breast and it's very treatable even though it's the most aggressive cancer.
My strikingly handsome baby.
We went sledding a couple of weekends ago. Christopher came with us. Was with Bobbie Jo's family and friends. My sister Jana is Bobbie's sister in-law. Small world. Dave has to work on Saturdays, so it was just me and the boys. Hudson slept for a short time in the car but then braved the hill with us. And a hill it was. Unfortunately, I lost my phone on the way down the hill once so didn't dare to keep it with me after that.
Hudzy bear's head. I think it was Henry's first time sledding too. (March 11).
My grandmother was in the hospital for a few days. They feared broken bones and then she got checked for cancer. Thank God neither were the case. My grandfather nicknamed the boys the Umstead Wrecking Crew.
Trying to decide what to do for Henry's schooling next year. I just don't want to crush his little spirit. He has been doing ABC Mouse. I feel like school with a bunch of students my be too much for his sensitive soul. He gets very stressed out by learning.
Baby love. My natural athlete.
Henry is an instigator and Hudson is a brute.
The stool I got an an auction. I haven't been back yet BUT I think I am addicted. It's like a new world. Like nothing I have every been to. This one they do in inland Maine. A subculture.
Hudson's hair is very curly. Killer cute.
Friday mornings is story time at our local library. We have been going there to play but last Friday my friend Jessica who homeschools her two youngest invited us to go hang out. Henry took charge and snuggled up to the reader and chose the book. He introduced me to his new friend. In fact, he makes friends with everyone. Today he made a new friend at the grocery store. I want to keep that passion alive as long as possible.
Papa came over on Friday too. And read all the library book we brought home.
Then we went to a new play place they opened in Rockland.
Very fun for the boys.
My uncle Gerald visited on Saturday. So we had a family day. Aunt Jana made this chef hat for Henry's birthday and brought him some gluten free stuff to make.
The pastor of our church and a group of folks including Molly, Wayne and Sam took a missions trip to Belize this week. Dave preached the message on Sunday morning and did a really good job. In this photo the folks on the trip had called in to say hi.
Teagan had her 8th birthday party at the community center. My kids preferred to play in the gym.
Teags.
There is so much going on in our church. Dave is gone tonight an hour and half away teaching a Bible Study. I do a women's Bible Study Thursday night. And Claire (in the red) had a Filipino Bible Study on Sunday evening. I think Filipinos are Maine's largest minority. Claire really wanted me to be there. We had a really good time. Eternal.
My mom gave us this book in honor of Hudson. Totally him.
Christopher came over to play yesterday.
A few weeks ago I found this dresser at Goodwill. It was $20!! In pretty rough shape but I saw the potential and practically ran to the front to buy it before someone else did. I love the Moroccan Red color I chose. Love it!!
