Boy Scouts here I come....











Hunter joined cub scouts in 1st grade and we have had 5 busy years growing, having fun and making new friends. Since Eric had an odd schedule and he was more of an hotel guy, I did most of the activities (under some protest) with Hunter. During his time as a cub scout we went summer & winter camping, (we even sleep on the snow), we hiked, went to den and pack meetings, made pine wood derby cars, rockets and boats, went on go see its, did service hours just to name a few. Hunter made wonderful friends with the boys and enjoys every minute of scouts. Last month he and his den crossed over into boy scouts. They all earned the highest rank in cub scouts, Arrow of Light, and had a beautiful ceremony to celebrate. The boys all joined the same boy scout troop and have begun to participate in activities. Hunter knows that I am going to step back a bit from scouts, and let him explore scouts with support from me but not as much involvement. I love that he enjoys camping, outdoor activities, getting dirty, learning, growing and maturing. I hope he enjoys many more years of Scouts.

Mother's Day

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I had a wonderful Mother's Day with my little boy. He let me sleep in, made me coffee and brought me Krispy Kreme donuts in bed. We stayed in our P.J. until the afternoon and watched TV together. It can't get much better than that! It was a really nice day. Fortunately Mother's day has never really been a big deal for me it has always been about my mom, grandma and Eric's mom. I have spend other Mother's Day's without Eric because of his work schedule so it was not so unusual for us to be without him. So that being said this first was not as bad as it could have been. I am not looking forward to Father's Day but I have planned for us to be on vacation that day so hopefully it won't be too bad either. I hope all of you mothers had a wonderful Mother's Day....I know you all deserved it!

Love,
Hallie
