yesterday hutch was more of a fan
of elsa than today,
now that he knows
she's here for awhile.
however,
he was undoubtedly enamored
with the toddler-sized closet in the hospital room
as well as the peek-a-boo possibilities behind the
bed.
we're gonna have to work a bit on the whole
little sister thing.

when we were in montana
we realized hutch's hair
was starting to resemble
bill murray from kingpin.
i decided to take him to
the hair cuttery for a little trim.
i always cut it myself,
and it's usually not the best idea.
he was a champ,
no tears and lots of smiles for his stylist.
i must admit,
i like the shaggy look
and was a little sad
when i saw how short it was.
BUT, hutch does look quite handsome and grown up.
he looks so preppy all of a sudden..
give this guy a pair of seersucker pants
and an izod with a popped collar already!

with a little over a year down
and a little less than one to go
in charlottesville
and with alex's final phase of his eternal job training
(yes, a standing ovation is appropriate here),
al has begun the interview process and we have been
diligently praying about our next move,
hoping it will be a place to plant some roots.
stop 1 was two weeks ago-missoula, mt.
loved it. big fan.
although we were
a little more low key than we
usually are when we have access to nature
( i was 35 weeks pregnant after all),
alex at least got to fly-fish, which is an essential to
any place we move,
and we went to flathead lake.
i must say,
i shed a little tear
when it was time to leave.
