This is Hunter.

He spent the whole day with us today. He is such a sweet little boy and my boys LOVE to play with him. Contrary to what this picture my imply - he WAS happy all day. He just didn't like me taking his picture - so this is the only one I got.

Landon and Samuel were so excited to play with Hunter. Sam and Hunter enjoyed splashing in the water while I put Hunter's car seat into the car and buckled Landon into the middle seat. They all played nicely during Play Group at the church, and Lunch was quickly scarfed down. At 1:30 I put my boys to bed and Hunter and I lay down on my bed to be quiet until Landon and Sam fell asleep amazingly Hunter dropped off too. In the afternoon we played in the backyard. The boys were so entertained with Hunter around, it was almost peaceful. It gives me hope that someday I will be able to handle three kids. Lately I've been feeling inadequate with the two kids I have - how could I even consider having a third?! I guess it's possible for me to handle three....though, with no job and crappy insurance, right now might not be an ideal time.

Thank you Britt and Vince for lending me your son for the day!!!! He was awesome!

Hunter looks sweet! Just remember that unless you adopt, a third child will not be an instant 3 year old. Have you forgotten sleep deprivation already?

Laura,

You guys are awesome and very sweet! Thanks so much for the kind post about our little Hunter.

I had to laugh about your comment, "with Hunter around, it was almost peaceful." I think that might be there first time that has ever been said about him.

He had a great time and loved playing with you guys.

... I think you guys would do well with four kids actually!

I bet that was a big help for Britt to have one less for a little bit. You're so positive Laura and great with kids.

And I completely understand your dilemma on more kids. And handling what we've already got.
