First day of Preschool

This handsome boy went to preschool for the first time yesterday and loved it. He got out of the car and didn't even look back (where's the love?).

Happy Birthday ETHAN!

Ethan is 6 years old today! He is the sweetest kid ever! We love him to pieces! He is easy going and so lovable! He is so smart and tenderhearted. Love you Ethan!

Ethan just after he was born. He was a handsome kid from the start.

First Day of School

I can hardly believe that Ireland is in 3rd grade now and Ethan is in Kindergarten.

Pretty dang cute!

Ryan had to get in on the picture taking--he starts preschool next week

Looks like he knows what he's doing

And here's me and Ryan. I wish I could say the house will be nice and quiet now with Ireland and Ethan off to school, but I have the two wild monkeys left at home.

Labor Day Weekend...

We had a great weekend with Chad and Bren. They came up from Maryland to visit. Here are a few (ok, lots) of pictures from last weekend. The first bunch of pictures are from a park on Lake Ontario.



Caleb, Aden, Ryan, Bren and Addy in the back


Ryan. He and Aden threw rocks in the lake for a solid hour.

Good-looking Hacking boys

Here is a picture of us before Scott hams it up for the camera...

And after.

Bren, Addy, Chad and Aden

We also went to a state park called Stony Brook. It was beautiful!

Scott with Ryan and Caleb. Caleb kept biting Ryan's bum. What else would you do with a bum in your face?

Ethan before he got all wet

Aden, not so happy...Ryan, so happy

Beautiful waterfalls were all along the hiking trails

Family photo...Caleb had just taken another bite out of Ryan's bum.

Cute little family!

Thanks for coming to visit us Chad and Bren!
