Hurst Family News

But I'm going to resurrect the good ol' family blog anyway. There will be much to do in filling in the blanks. Most of that will likely never get filled in (sorry) but I'm working on highlights of the last few years. Because, boy howdy! It's been a ride! Not sure anyone reads this anymore (I know I didn't keep up with others' blogs when I stopped blogging...) but HI! We're still here.

I apologize in advance to all family and friends living far away: The bricks I put on their heads didn't work.  The Biggest Billy goat Gruff will start school in the fall.  He already writes his name and a lot of the alphabet.  We're working on recognizing numbers. "Five-de-Five" = 55 He still loves trains and taking pictures.  His days are spent running around playing "Baby Woody" to his cousin's "Baby Buzz."  It may sound a lot like playing house but it's manly house dangit. "You are a TOY CAR!" which really sounds more like "You ah a TOWE CAH!" For all I know perhaps he's really from Bahston.  The Wee Billy goat Gruff can now babble and roll from back to tummy.  He also likes to watch his hands and pass things back and forth. We're all very proud.  I think he's teething due to the excessive amounts of drool, slight warm and swollen bottom gums from time to time. Unfortunately I think it's goi...

Behold: He likes it when I crinkle my nose. I love that the boys love each other.

Something fierce. Now that's not saying they don't drive me BONKERS sometimes, because they do-- but the rest of the time? Yeah I love 'em.  I think I'll keep them.  (Check back after they've played in the mud or smell like puppies- or worse when they're teenagers and I might have a different answer...we'll see.) I don't think Ian is biting Charlie-- I think he's giving him kisses like I asked him to.  I hope that's what it is at least.  I'm fully aware that my camera decided to go all funky on me for this shot.  I blame the mostly dead batteries. But I could just claim it's artistic right?  He just looked so cute sleeping I couldn't resist- mostly dead batteries and all (mostly dead- which is slightly alive.  "TO BLAVE!")
