As we awoke to our human alarm clock, the cruise ship was making it’s final crawl to Disney’s private island Castaway Cay. We were all very excited about this stop because everyone I had talked to, including Emily, said it is one of the most beautiful places around. They all could not have been more correct. As we approached the… Read more »
As with most of our vacations with Hunter, we found ourselves awakened by our personal rooster before the sun had a chance to rear its head. But this time around, Emily and I had already resigned ourselves to the schedule that is Hunter-driven! We all got showered and dressed, then made our way to the Beach Blanket Buffet, grabbed some… Read more »
Today, we excitedly departed our house in Orlando and made the 40 minute drive to Cape Canaveral to board Hunter’s and my first cruise. As we made our way to the Cape we commented on how lucky we were to live so close to the port to take advantage of vacation deals when they arise. Hunter had been prepped over… Read more »
Hunter plays in our closet and loves to look at my jewelry. This morning Patrick was getting dressed and Hunter came in. Patrick said, “Hey Hunter, what are you doing?” Hunter said, “Looking at necklaces. Hmmmm… what necklace should I wear to Target??”
Emily just purchase the Wii Active game by EA Sports that we tested out for the first time tonight. What we realized after the 15 minute easy workout was that “Wii” aren’t very active. It is a pretty cool game though.
Hunter spent his mornings this week at the YMCA with Emily learning the fine art of swimming (or floating and getting out of the pool, but you have to start somewhere). Hunter loves his new goggles and wanted to wear them in the tub with his cool new shark trunks to practice his skills.

Em: Spaceship Earth isn’t in California, it’s in Florida! Hunter: Spaceship Earf isn’t in FLORIDA… it’s in EPCOT! Then he proceeded to roll his eyes at me and say while bent… Read more »
First I have to say that Hunter has a new way of communicating with me that can best be described as ‘bossy indignation.’ Wonder where he picked this up… So today I was unloading the dishwasher and Hunter was flitting about hanging on my legs (millions of toys to play with but never more interested in Mommy than when I… Read more »
We hope that all of you reading this had a very enjoyable 4th of July. The Hayes family had a really fun day. The day started with a long-standing Griffin (Emily’s family) tradition of decorating the kids’ bikes and strollers and having a parade. We invited some friends of ours who had kids over to join in the festivities. Although the weather… Read more »
Hunter and I were having some of Emily’s delicious spaghetti at dinner tonight. Hunter was not interested in the noodles so I helped him sort out the dish to get to the meat sauce. When I asked Hunter what he like more the noodles or the meat he said “more neat!”
