Little hockey players

Hunter has been doing a lot of standing the past few days. I think he's getting ready to walk soon! His favorite thing to do is "play hockey" ... stand with the hockey stick and hit at toys ... it's really cute. 

And, Grady played in a full ice game on the weekend. He was pretty excited when it was his turn to take the face off. 

Today

Grady checked out his candy. 

Hunter practiced standing. 

And we went on a bike ride in the sun. 

Halloween

What a busy and fun day!

Before school - Grady was dressed up and excited for the day!

After school - posing with the pumpkin.

My little superheroes. 

Pumpkin carving

Today we carved the huge pumpkin that our neighbour grew for us. Grady cleaned out the seeds and gunk all by himself. He also drew the face. I did the carving and Hunter supervised. It turned out pretty well!

Strong Start

Our school district runs a program called Strong Start where you can drop in and play with your children. Hunter had a lot of fun there today. He loves interacting with the other kids and exploring the new toys. 

Playing hockey

Hunter is so into hockey. It's pretty funny. I think it's from watching Grady play, but whenever he gets his hands on anything that resembles a stick, he uses it to push a ball around. It stopped raining on the weekend so we headed straight outside. The boys were able to have their first road hockey game together!

Hunter's birthday celebrations

Hunter's birthday was spread out over a week, so that we could celebrate with as many people as possible. We are so lucky to have such amazing friends and family. There was a lot of love for our little boy.

Grady and I made a carrot cake for Hunter's first party.
