Cole Has Arrived!

Here I am the day before Cole arrives.

Our newest addition made his arrival a little over 3 weeks early. Cole Allen Swindle arrived on February 5, 2008 at 5:21 p.m. He weighed 6 lbs and 7 & 1/2 oz and was 19 & 1/2 inches long. Hunter is overjoyed at having a little brother and loves to call him "buddy"!

I just love watching his face when he is doing artwork...

Grandaddy, Nana, and Hunter sharing a moment at Christmas time (2007)

Well, it has been a long time since I have done this. I guess I just got busy with other stuff. We are going to give it another try. As many of you know, we are expecting another baby boy, Cole Allen Swindle, on February 26th. I actually hope a little earlier. Hunter is so excited about becoming a big brother and we are looking forward to our new bundle of joy. As I get going again with this, I will update with new pics and info.

A few weeks ago, mommy pulled out one of my top teeth. It is starting to grow back. I have now lost 3 teeth altogether, with two more being loose. I'm changing a lot and growing like crazy. This school year I will be in first grade.

It has been quite a while since we have posted and so much has happened since the last journal entry. We will try and update you on a few things that have happened in our lives.

Here is Scott and Hunter at the beach having some fun.

Happy Valentine's Day to All! Hunter is excited about sharing the day with his friends in kindergarten. He will also be giving his newest girlfriend a rose he picked out, himself. May everyone find a piece of love and joy in the day!

Thanks to everyone who has looked at our site. I think this will be a good way for everyone to stay updated on our life, when we are all so busy. I'm still fumbling through everything but will continue to work on the site.

Oh, what a day! This is me at my new job having a ball. Wow, what fun, compared to where I've been. I had forgotten how much I actually love teaching. Well, we are the big winners and are all getting a lunch out, on the school. Cool, huh?

This is Hunter at Christmas time. He had a good time posing for our favorite Christmas card choices. He's five years old and an amazing little person. Each day is a joy with him. I never can get over the conversations this little person has.
