The Wonderful Hunts

tonight i had to say goodbye to my dear friend, amy hunt. amy, wil and their kids, hannah, ethan and max, are moving to iowa. i'm no good at writing niftily or sentimentaly, so, as is par for this blog's course, i simply picked out some pictures i had of them. mostly of the kids at playgroup's easter egg hunt. (sorry to wil, as i never took his picture, and to amy, whom i only got while she was busy helping her children-which seems par for her course, always serving.)

first hair cut

we knew bub (jack, john, will...honestly, call him whatever-loving-thing you want) was going to need a haircut soon (it was almost in his eyes). i started to get sentimental about it (when i put him down at night i always give him a kiss and brush his hair off his face before i leave). then randomly one day while john was gone and babe was sleeping i just up and decided to cut his hair...this is what followed.

yeah, it's a crayon, what's really weird is when he's got it just hanging
out of his mouth like a stogie.

i used the biggest setting i had and was kinda surprised by how much hair came off.

don't worry, it's unplugged and the actual trimmer part is covered.

so, kinda abrupt. afterwards i was shocked at myself, i texted john with a picture saying something to the effect of 'i destroyed my baby' b/c he seemed so different to me (you're probably thinking i'm crazy since i'm sure you didn't see much change). well, john couldn't tell what i was talking about and found it to be rather uneventful...oh well.

any given day
