Hunt Family Adventures

Young Life Retreat at Rockbridge Camp

admin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:41:41 +0000

Over Labor Day Weekend the Hunt family drove about three hours south to Goshen, VA for a retreat with Young Life Committee members and leaders all across the northern Virginia region. The retreat was held at one of the Young Life camps on the east coast – Rockbridge Camp. Check it out here.

Jeff has been chair of the committee for South Arlington Young Life for a few years and so the Hunt family was excited about the opportunity to meet a bunch of other folks involved in Young Life from our area and get inspired by the things God is doing through Young Life to change the lives of teenagers. We had a great time hanging with committee folks, Taylor went swimming, Jeff and I got blobbed (if you don’t know what this is- just wait- Jeff video taped the whole thing and is going to be making a video of it to post!) and all while learning more about who Jesus is and what he is calling us to do through Young Life. Check out the mission of Young Life here.

Check-Ups & Taylor’s First Art Project

admin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:32:17 +0000

This last month both kids had check-ups at the doctor’s office. Joshua was in for his two month check-up and we are VERY happy to report that our little guy is growing quick! At two months he was already 13 pounds and 3 ounces – in the 90th percentile for his weight! He is as healthy as can be and is developing beautifully. Taylor was in on September 1st for her 18 month check-up. It’s hard for us to believe that she is already a year and a half. Where has the time gone?! She is making steady progress on her weight. She’s 17 pounds 5 ounces. Still well below the actual growth curve- even for her adjusted age- but she continues to gain and that’s what is most important. We are taking bets as to how soon it will be before Joshua weighs more than Taylor. At the rate he has been gaining weight we are both confident that it won’t be long before Joshua is the “big” brother. :) Both kids got shots. But I’m happy to report survived them! :) We feel incredibly blessed to have two happy healthy little kids and are so grateful everyday for their lives. God is good!

Below are a few pictures of Joshua taken at 2 1/2 months and Taylor working on her very first art project. She loved drawing with her crayons- and looks to be a budding young artist! :)

Summer at the Park

So there’s this great park just around the corner from our house and we love to get out there and let the kids play. Well mostly Taylor plays and Joshua lays- but none the less – it’s a lot of fun to get out of the house and experience the great outdoors. Apart from the humidity – it makes for a perfect afternoon activity. Here are a few pictures of my little munchkins enjoying the park!

BBQ with the Moughons

Recently we had our good friends- and Taylor’s Godparents – over for a BBQ. Taylor had a great time showing off her kiddie pool and playing “lets see how much water I can pour out of the pool using my bucket.” :) Rebekah and Tim are great friends and we are so grateful for their friendship. Here are a few photos.

Meeting Great Aunt True!

Taylor and Joshua got the opportunity to meet their Great Aunt True last month while she was out visiting her son, Mark, and grand daughter, Aubrey, in DC. Taylor loved playing with her Aunt True and cousin Aubrey and Joshua feel right to sleep in Aunt True’s arms. We all had such a fun time hanging out together. Thanks for the visit!

Colorado Vacation!

Jeff, Taylor, Joshua, and I packed up at the end of July and headed to Colorado for some old fashioned R&R with his family- and we all had a great time. Taylor played at the pool a lot! Joshua met his Great Grandpa Hunt for the first time. Jeff and I went hiking, white water rafting at Noah’s Ark, took a drive in the Chevy Bel Air, and even went on a trial ride in Beaver Creek. It was a week full of fun and family. Thanks to the Hunts for being such gracious hosts! Love you guys. :)

Taylor’s Summer Fun

admin — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 03:14:00 +0000

This summer has been such a fun time for Taylor. As a mommy to a toddler, things are pretty much always chaotic, but it has been such a joy to see Taylor’s personality blossom and to watch her experience the world for the first time. Here are some of the fun moments that were were able to catch on film this summer.

Busy. Busy. Busy. :)

Baby Joshua is just the sweetest little baby. He sleeps well. Only cries when he is hungry or has to burp. And best of all he loves to cuddle!

First day home!
